Gingerbread Scones with Cream Cheese Glaze
I recently felt the need to get out my Mini Scone Pan and try my hand at a festive breakfast of Gingerbread Scones with Cream Cheese Glaze. The result was super yummy! They taste similar to a gingerbread cookie; packed with cinnamon, ginger, and clove flavors, but make a tasty breakfast or treat. I think these are slightly more moist than traditional scones and have a nice texture. They pair well with some scrambled eggs and bacon or could be added to your brunch menu.

Scrumptious Scones
Scones are a new favorite baked good of mine. When I was younger, I thought they were hard and dry, and not very tasty, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned to appreciate the texture and flavor.

I was recently gifted a Mini Scone Pan, and this is the only way I will make scones. Sure, you can prepare the dough, roll it out, cut it into triangles, and bake it but the pan reduces many of the required steps and is so easy to use.

The 3 recipes I want to share with you … Continue reading

Haunted Hullabaloo
Halloween is fast approaching. For some, Halloween is a lifestyle and obsession, for others, it’s a day to be someone or something else. I personally love decorating the house, buying candy to pass out to trick-or-treaters, dressing up the dog…. but mostly, I love the food! I like to take a traditional dish and “dress it up” for Halloween. For example, a pepperoni pizza might have the pepperoni in the shape of a jack-o-lantern. You get the picture 🙂 This year, I have quite the spread. It’s going to be one big Halloween celebration at our house, starting with breakfast, and ending with dinner. Here’s what’s on the menu: Eyeball Donuts Spider Web Donuts Candy “Charcuterie” Board Eyeball Asparagus and Gruyere Tart Spider Web Loaded Potatoes Festival Feetloaf Mini Skeleton Cheesecakes Halloween is full of candy and treats so why not start the day with something sugary? Eyeball … Continue reading
