Minimalism. Mindfulness. Munchies.
Cream scones are my new go-to. I’m over cutting butter into flour (at least for now). Doubly orange Orange Carrot Cream Scones (dream scones?) are one more excellent way to get more vegetables onto your breakfast table. Cream scones are so simple and delightful. The only forethought they require is having cream on hand....
The Great British Baking Show aired on PBS (via BBC) this winter and alas, is now a thing of the past. Those Brits did leave us with a trove of great recipes though – Including the Tea Time Scone, 1 of 3 classics featured for the technical challenge in the finale show. Day after...
Laughing Lemon Pie was recently offered the chance to review Easy Everyday Slow Cooker Recipes by Donna-Marie Pye. This book features 200 recipes!

Jammies are kind of a big deal in our house. Weekends are definitely for pajamas – it is rare that all 3 of us are showered and/or dressed by noon on a Saturday or Sunday. While we all 3 love (love, love, love) brunch in general, the thought of actually getting ready and leaving...
For option two in our Stay In This Valentine’s Day series, we wanted to put something together that the whole family can enjoy! For some of us, the ones we love extend beyond our partner — and it just might not seem right (or feasible!) not to include them in the Valentine’s Day love...
