Mouth-Watering Stuffed Mushrooms
LOVE These, this recipe is one of my go-to party recipes. FYI there's always extra filling, so buy some extra mushrooms! Leave out pepper flakes and these become kid friendly! Use pampered chef garlic press, for perfect garlic in this recipe!

World's Best Scones! From Scotland to the Savoy to the U.S.
This is my absolute GO-TO recipe for a comfort snack. I've tried several scone recipes, and this is BY FAR THE BEST! I followed the tips of "Care". I reduced the baking powder by 1tsp, cut the cold butter into tiny pieces, and mixed it in with my hands until it was pea size lumps. I popped that bowl in the freezer while I prepped my liquids- I added 1 tsp of vanilla to the liquids because I love vanilla, and then I added some chopped up belgian chocolate chunks, mixed the dry and wet together gently. I added a dash of vanilla to the egg wash and then sprinkled raw sugar on them and these turned out PERFECT! Soft and fluffy, with a sweet scone shell on top- soooo yummy, I was trying to recreate some chocolate chip scones I used to eat at UC Davis when I was a student, and these are better!!! I make them ALL THE TIME!

Clone of a Cinnabon
These were AWESOME!!! You really do need to abide by the directions as far as warm milk and room temp eggs. The second time I made them, I didn't let those get to room temp. and my dough suffered, although, they were still delicious. If you follow the recipe though, they WILL taste like Cinnabon!
