Lemon Macadamia Biscotti

Another take of Biscotti

A lot less chocolatey one then last time.

But, I eat it with iced coffee with Italian sweet creamer in it!

C'est Tres, Tres Bien!

I also made a lemony zest glaze and dipped it in half way.

Cheers to another success!

Strawberry Vanilla Cream Scones

Today was my sister in law's doing of inspiring me to make this

particular flavor of scone.

Today is Labor Day so I did want to make something nice.

Although, my parents came home from their cruise late at night last night

so we spent the whole day talking about it and chilling.

What do I bake most???

For right now it is definitely scones...

But I hope this changed in the future.

The scones turned out fairly well but everyone still says that my 'Blueberry Scones'

are still top notch.

I keep trying different flavors though i think next is going to be cinnamon (mom's request).

This time I had to use milk instead of heavy whipping cream it didn't make much of a difference,

except the dough was a lot less smooth it was more puffy like a donut.

I also only had frozen strawberries so that was kind of a fail, but remember this was kind of on a whim so i decided to find anything in substitute for what i needed.

I did a glaze that was yummy, a vanilla type glaze.... it was awesome.

My aunt just scarfed them down and I still have to stop myself from doing the same.

But low and behold the...

Strawberry Vanilla Cream Scone

YUM!

Semi - Sweet Chocolate Drizzle Scones!!!

I did it.

I incorporated chocolate (that is, Ghiradelli semi - sweet chocolate) into my scone recipe.

I went to Wegmans, looking for something that a women would love to eat in a time of any mood (mostly when premenstrual symptoms occur).

Now I don't know about you but when I am feeling these symptoms I tend to over indulge (and not just a little bit). The sad thing is, is that I don't even know that I am doing.

I swear, it's like a subconscious thing... whether it's in the middle of the night or very early in the morning.

I am always in the mood for chocolate, even if I ate a lot and am done with it... in a few hours my taste buds are ready!

So I got to thinking and "wallah!" Of course, that's it.... Chocolate Scones!

Haha, Destiny stop being such a blonde! That wasn't very hard to think about... but indeed it was.

I just wasn't sure how they would turn out, and I didn't want to upset the chocolate if all things failed!

But i decided to do it anyway, so I mixed the dough and the chocolate, cut it and stuck it in the oven.

Guess what?!?! They turned out PERFECT!

So perfect, that I like them even more than the Blueberry Scones.

Hard to believe isn't it? Well I'm just a chocolate type of female.

I guess you can say that chocolate is my downfall, or weakness and I guess I don't beg to differ!

You can't resist these!

I tried and failed miserably!

Cheers to Chocolate... :)

Lemon Glazed Blueberry Scones (Take 2)

So I decided to make another batch of the same scones in my previous post.

I thought, "Can I make these more healthier?"

So I traveled on over to the store and bought wheat flour and more blueberries.

Now I usually use all purpose white flour, but i thought that if i used  some type of wheat grin flour,

it would be somewhat more healthier?

(But who am I kidding, right? :) )

This time I mixed in 1 cup of wheat flour and 1 cup of all purpose white to make these scones.

Then I added so many blueberries, that I think it overpowered the dough more than i wanted, but everyone still seemed to love them.

Anyway, they were a lot mushier than i wanted too but i think because of all the blueberries that I put inside of them, when they were baking, some of the blueberries erupted ad the juice spilled over causing the dough to become a little mushy (my mistake).

No one seemed to know, because people were diving head first into them.

Here is the final product of my 'Take 2 Blueberry Scones."

I hope they look good to you, maybe I will try some type of other scone.

Don't get me wrong, "Blueberry Scones" are amazing but sometimes your just 

looking for something more satisfying.... like chocolate?!

Chocolate Coffee Biscotti & Lemon Glazed Blueberry Scone

I got really inspired to bake today, do I ever bake???

No, actually never.

So I baked.....ALL DAY!

From 12 - 6:30 p.m.

I am pretty tired from all of the running around in the kitchen and pantry today.

But despite the fact of all the sweat and and cleaning 

the goodies turned out really well... especially for a first - timer like me.

So this is how my goodies turned out and I got amazing feedback!

I hope you enjoy...

All of my scrumptious treats I made today
