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.

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.  They are sweet, dense, dry, and crumbly, yet oh so good!  They pair well with a cup of tea or coffee in the morning for breakfast.   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.  Plus, you get 16 scones so there is plenty to serve at brunch, to bring to work to share, or to save for leftovers are home.  Click this link for the Mini Scone Pan.

It’s my favorite time of year!  The weather is starting to cool down, the leaves are starting to change, and you can find pumpkin spice at just about any store.  That’s what I’m talking about when I say my favorite time of year…. all things pumpkin spice.  I love the flavor, but I also love that it’s available for a limited time, so it’s something I look forward to enjoying. I like to create a few new recipes each year that are pumpkin spice themed.  Most are breakfast or dessert themed but that’s OK with me!  Pumpkin spice is a combination of nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, and ginger.  It’s sweet, spicy, warm, and cozy.  Yes…cozy.  Think of the feeling you get when you drink a hot cup of apple cider on a cool day.  That’s a feeling I get when enjoying pumpkin spice food.  Even better, the pumpkin spice recipes I’m going to share with you today are hearty and filling, … Continue reading
