snow day

Yes, we had our "Snow Day"...albeit, no snow. But that couldn't stop us from enjoying a freebie, no-school holiday so I remembered THIS fun post and decided we'd give the Melting Snowman Cookies a try.

Ours didn't turn out quite as cute, but Grace had a blast making them and Hudson had a blast eating them and that's success in my book! :)Mama, they kind of look like halloween ghosts.
Why, yes they do so we'll just call them our Snow Ghosts, how's that?
{insert belly laughter}Back in the summer we went blueberry pickin' and ended up with loads of yummy, sweet berry goodness. I froze some of them and just recently thawed them out. We've been eating them fresh, but I decided we needed to try a new recipe with them.A quick search led me to THIS recipe, Blueberry Scones. I picked it mainly because of the simple ingredients and the fact we had all of them on hand, except the half & half. A quick substitution (thank you Angel & Tanya!) and we were on our way. A few easy steps and they were ready to go in the oven.
Hmmm...I think I need a new baking sheet and this one needs to be relegated to pizza duties only. 20 minutes later and voila! They weren't the prettiest scones I've ever seen, but they were still yummy all the same. The little pumpkin gObbLed a warm one right away, so they must have been pretty good to satisfy her picky taste these days. They weren't quite as sweet as I like my scones so next time I'll add a bit more brown sugar, but for this batch I just sprinkled a bit of refined sugar on top.
