Chocolate Chip Scones

Featured6 Comments

These Chocolate Chip Scones are incredibly easy to make and are the perfect addition to breakfast or brunch. They are loaded with chocolate chips but are not overly sweet, and are dense enough for slicing open and adding some butter, making them easy to pair with your morning cuppa tea. 

Don’t be scared off by the term scone, I promise you they are so much easier than we believe them to be! They come together in under 10 minutes and will then fill your home with the delicious sweet smell of chocolate and butter while they bake away. 

For this recipe you will need: flour, baking powder, sugar, butter, milk, egg, vanilla and chocolate chips.

For this recipe you will need: peanut butter, white sugar, egg, margarine, vanilla, oats, flour and baking powder.

This easy scone recipe is bursting with pops of strawberries in every fluffy bite! They are a great way to start your day, or the perfect pick me up mid-afternoon when you have your third (or sixth…who’s counting?!) cuppa tea. We finished these ones off with a light drizzle of white chocolate, and also made a variation we will share below that has white chocolate chunks throughout.

This recipe was adapted from our original Chocolate Chip Scones – which are one of our top posts for good reason.

One Pot Sausage and Zucchini Pasta

Leave a comment

If you’re looking to change up your weeknight pasta game this is the recipe for you – with a handful of simple ingredients and 20 minutes time you will have a flavorful and healthy pasta dinner ready for your family!

We have pasta about once a week in our home – and although I do love a simple butter and Parmesan cheese sauce, I go crazy for a red sauce. Normally a “good” red sauce cooks for hours over low heat and develops it’s flavors, but who has time for that during the week?

Our recipe combines zucchini, browned Italian sausage and a few classic herbs to create a sauce that tastes like Gramma used to make – and it record time too! See below for your shopping list of ingredients.

Roasted Cauliflower with Herbs

Leave a comment

This simple roasted cauliflower bake is the perfect side dish for entertaining. It is lightly tossed in olive oil, coated in a mix of delicious herbs and finished with a sprinkle of Parmesan to bring together an incredible flavor that goes with meat, seafood and other vegetables!

Look no further for your next Easter side dish my friends; this is an easy to make cauliflower bake with a handful of ingredients. The best part though? You toss everything together and then it goes into the oven where all the magic happens…there are NO additional steps for this dish which makes it a winner in my books!

When it is finished baking you are left with perfectly golden florets that have the best texture (not mushy and not crunchy, just the perfect in between) that are coated in herbs…what’s not to love?
