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 an...

Grilled Orange Roughy

My favorite food choices are often related to family memories, so I wanted to share one of our favorite grilled fish recipes. Our Dad used to take us fishing and we grew up eating the fish we caught ourselves. Then came the time when we had to start buying fish, I searched for types of fish that didn't taste too "fishy". It's hard to accomplish that in the Midwest, we don't always have many choices. We were introduced to orange roughy during a trip to San Diego where my great-uncle treated us to some of the most wonderful seafood we had ever eaten at an establishment called Anthony's. It was the first time we had eaten orange roughy and it was white, flaky and not too fishy tasting. After a few experiments, this is my favorite method to prepare it at home. Serves 4 or 2 with leftovers! Ingredients: 4 orange roughy fillets 1/4 c fresh cilantro, I use a small handful * if you are not a cilantro fan use fresh dill, about 1/4 c chopped 2 tsp garlic powder o...

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...
