Yes, another scone recipe ;-). I just love scones. Always simple to make and very versatile.

This combo came to me as I was thinking of something to bake for a new group I was attending. I love baking and sharing and I only had 2 hours before our group was meeting. Hmmm, what to make? Continue reading »

I love baked goods with lemon and the fact that this was a pull apart coffee cake made it very intriguing. Continue reading »

I had already made changes to it and made it several times but this time I decided to make more ;-). For some reason I find pleasure in dissecting a recipe. Wierd, I know. Believe me there are recipes that I won’t do this too if I really want something sweet! Continue reading »
