Lemon Poppyseed Scones

My mom and I have always been close, so it comes as now surprise that she bought me the perfect Christmas present – my first ever scone pan (and a few baking mixes to go along with it!) I had never made scones before, so the starter pack of mixes was perfect. Ian and I devoured the first batch of scones, so I hopped on Pinterest to find a lemon poppyseed scone recipe.

The other day I attempted to make them from scratch and was surprised that they turned out!

Honesty hour: my first attempts usually end up in the trash.

Now that I know I can bake scones, I am looking forward to trying out new recipes! Have any favorites? Share them below!

Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies

Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies | Not Your Average Dairy Queen

The bakery down the road from us makes the best salted chocolate chip cookies. Their crispy edges and gooey center make it hard to eat just one! With a dinner party planned at our home, I decided to try my hand at baking my own batch of salted chocolate chip cookies. At the end of the night there were only crumbs left over, so I think it is safe to say they were a crowd pleaser!
