Cinnamon Chip Scones

Cinnamon Chip Scones
I have been on a scone kick lately.  These are from the latest recipe, and like my sister I am always shocked when it turns out the first time!
What you need:
  • 1-2/3 c all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 c packed brown sugar
  • 2 t baking powder
  • 1 t ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 t salt
  • 1 c heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 c chocolate chips (the original recipe called for miniature semisweet, but I used regular size milk chocolate because that's what I had)
  • 1/4 c chopped toasted  pecans (I omitted them)
  • 1/4 c milk choc. English toffee bits (I had left over toffee in my freezer)
In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt. Stir in cream just until moistened. Stir in chips, pecans and toffee bits.  Turn onto floured surface; knead 10 times. Pat into one 8-in circle;cut into 6-8 wedges. Put on lightly misted or greased baking sheet, brush tops with melted butter.  They do get a little bigger as they bake so make sure they have room between them.
Bake 375 16-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Glaze: this is optional I think they taste great either way, this just makes them even sweeter, but my son got to mine before I glazed them and gobbled it up without it.
  • 1/4 c confectioners sugar
  • 1 T softened butter or marg.
  • 1/4 t vanilla
  • milk add as needed to get the consistency you need to drizzle over scones
Mix together and drizzle over scones

**For a less sweet version, you could omit the choc. chips and toffee and add dried fruit. Last time I used dried blueberries with a 1/2 t almond extract and 1/2 t vanilla extract. YUM!

Enjoy!

Grandma's Bread Pudding and Caramel Sauce

I was trying to think of something for dessert last night and homemade bread pudding was my choice. Our Dad was not a dessert lover but bread pudding was one of his favorites. Our grandma made the best bread pudding, hope you like it! Ingredients : 5 cups slightly dried out bread, any kind. I used Italian bread.  1/4 cup raisins (optional) 2 cups milk 1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup white sugar 2 eggs 1 T vanilla 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/2 tsp cinnamon Caramel Sauce Ingredients 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup white sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 tsp vanilla Directions : Cut the bread in cubes. I cut some of the crust off (on about half of the bread). Place bread into a greased casserole dish or an 11x9 inch pan. Add raisins.  Microwave milk and butter about 4 minutes on 60% power or heat in a saucepan over medium heat on the stove. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon. Slowly add the mixture to the egg and milk and butter

Homemade Goulash

Last weekend I made meals for the freezer. It takes a few hours but this will save you time during the week (in case you have nights like I do when you don't feel like cooking) and your family will love it! I adapted this recipe from Paula Deen (it's called Bobby's Goulash). I used organic ingredients but use the products of your choice. I would have liked to use fresh tomatoes from the garden but my tomatoes weren't quite ready. You can also make it gluten-free by using gluten-free elbow macaroni. It's so tasty - my family loved it! Ingredients : 1 pound ground turkey 1 pound lean ground beef 1 -2 small onions, diced ( I used red onions) 1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce 2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice 3 cups water 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 T Italian seasoning 3 bay leaves 3 T soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce 1 T seasoning salt course ground pepper to taste 2 cups elbow macaroni (uncooked) Putting it together: Brown meat and onions in a lar

Dad's Homemade Peach Cobbler

Peach Cobbler fresh from the oven! One of our favorite desserts is Dad's peach cobbler. This is a recipe that I use when I need a quick dessert. I always have the ingredients and it only takes a few minutes to mix it up. I modified it for gluten-free by making a change to the flour type, just in case you're looking for gluten-free. You can use fresh or frozen peaches, or even canned peaches work. I usually freeze enough Colorado peaches to take me through the seasons so I use those. This recipe makes about 6 servings. Ingredients : 1/3 c butter, melted 1-2 cups peaches, peeled and sliced 1 c sugar (white or organic cane) 1 c all-purpose flour ( or white rice flour for gluten-free ) 1 tsp cinnamon (this is optional, my family loves cinnamon!) 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp sea salt 1 c milk (I use organic 2%) Directions : Melt butter and pour it into a baking pan, a 9x9 square glass pan works great.  In a medium mixing bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and sa
