Mixed Berry Scones

 

Recipe courtesy Cook's Country

I am married to a Brit and as a Brit he sometimes has terrible judgement in food.  He loves scones and I think they are dry and gaggy like a bad bagel or old pita bread. Until now....

Here is a wonderful recipe for mixed berry scones that is easy and tasty and I can't wait to jump out of bed in the morning just to have one (or two).  This recipe uses frozen berries so they are easy to find year 'round no matter the time of year or region in which you live. makes 8.   NOTE: The fruit must be kept frozen during the making of the dough. Serves 8.

Hawaii's Dole Whip

 

Aloha.

If you have ever visited the Hawaiian Islands, you know about Dole Whip.  This is the smoothest, creamiest refreshingly ice coldest cup of nirvana you have ever tasted.  Disney (who owns the Dole company) has released the recipe for you to now make it at home.

After a few attempts of my own I have tweaked the recipe to make it my own.

TALL Blonde calls these caviar and champagne eggs because it pairs beautifully with Champagne for brunch.

Smoooooooth-y

Roasted Tomato & Cheese Toast

Perfect for a quick morning breakfast on the run or mid day snack. The bread is crispy and if you include a light sprinkling of rosemary your tomato and cheese toast will taste like pizza. Make them ahead and enjoy for a couple days, can be reheated in the over to eat warm and re-crisp bread.
