Strawberry Scones

Biscuits and pies and scones have been flying out of my mom’s kitchen these past few weekends.  I am bound and determined to get these recipes etched in my brain so that I will not need to reference the paper copy. This will save me many hours of searching and digging for saved and clippedContinue reading “Strawberry Scones”
