Blueberry Scones

  Blueberry Scones made my way have a blueberry overload! A scone really is in between a muffin and a biscuit. I make scones the American way which is a little different than European scones across the pond! Americans like their scones a little sweet, fluffy, and moist, almost like a muffin but not quite. Europeans prefer scones leaning more towards a biscuit and not so…

Asparagus, Bacon and Cheddar Quiche

  I have played around with quiches and experimented a lot! I don’t like them too airy or too stiff or too dry. I want them soft, but firm enough to make a nice cut.    This comes out perfectly every time, any way.    Typically asparagus is paired with swiss cheese in quiches. Use whatever cheese you like! I am partial to cheddar so I use…

Cranberry Orange Scones

This is soft and yummy, bursting with plenty of real cranberries! It is a very…
