Honey Nut Scones - BWD Baking with Dorie

Another baking with Dorie week.  I really enjoy these even when I don't love the bake.  It challenges me and teaches me and expands my horizons.  This week, we made scones and they are not my favorite but my husband likes them.  I made them gluten free for hubby and all went well.  You would think that after all these years of baking gluten-free, I would not be surprised when something turns out.  Gluten-free baking is delicious.

Despite, knowing they would be delicious, I did not have my heart in it.  Sorry Tina.  Tina from My Domestic Bliss selected this recipe and it was a good choice despite my hesitancy.  Tina is a fantastic baker and I think you would enjoy checking out what she has done.  Enjoy.
You can find the recipe for these scones there.

Scones are not difficult to make except when I shape them.  Does anyone else have that problem?  I can't seem to get symmetrical scones.  Such is life.  If you look at mine, you will see a variety of shapes and sizes.

Although, I am lukewarm, I go by my hubby's call and he thought they were great so Dorie has another success on her hands and so do you, Tina.

If you are interested in having fun with us and bake twice a month or at least once a month contact Grapefruit and she will add you to the roster.  Grapefruit started this baking group, a little over a year ago and we have had a blast, conquering and sometimes falling.  It is worth joining to see my mistakes.


I scattered some finely chopped nuts on top of the cookies.

    Your scones look just perfect! What's wrong with the shape? Nothing at all! The beauty of scones, I think, is that they don't have to be perfectly shaped and the more rustic & homey they look the better. You did great!
    Thanks for baking with us this week!

    These look lovely. I like the rough homey shape of scones. SO inviting!
    How did you make them gluten free?

    I'm glad your husband enjoyed them- it's great that you're baking along with the gluten-free parameter.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Image
Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
