Good Morning! How is your weekend going? We spent a lovely Saturday shopping and treating our boy to an afternoon at Pump & Jump. If you have never heard of Pump & Jump it's basically a rubber room for toddlers. They can run, jump, and literally bounce off the walls without getting hurt. He loved it! It's great exercise and a perfect way for a four year old to release all that built up energy. After, Hubby treated us to dinner and I got the most amazing baked scrod! It was a perfect family day.
Here is a recipe for Cranberry Orange scones that I wanted to share with you. I made these yesterday morning so they would be ready for today. If you are not in the mood for a big breakfast, and just want something to nibble on with your coffee (or tea), these are perfect. Here's what you need:
2 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
8 tbsp (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 tsp orange zest
1/2 cup sour cream
1 egg
sugar for dusting
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a food processor combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.
Add butter and pulse until the mixture resembles course meal.
Add orange zest and dried cranberries.
In a separate bowl mix together sour cream and egg.
Add to dry mixture and pulse until a dough forms.
This could all be done by hand, but the food processor makes it to much easier : )
On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough to about 3/4 inch thickness.
Cut into triangles.
Don't worry too much about the shape, they don't have to be perfect : )
Transfer to a cookie sheet and sprinkle each one with sugar. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. (*tip - make sure your oven rack is in the middle. If it's too low the bottoms will burn*)
Enjoy!
I hope you all have a relaxing Sunday!
I forgot to mention that I finally saw Midnight in Paris last night. Hubby fell asleep 5 minutes in (zzzzzzzzz). I guess our day of shopping and big dinner did him in : )
The scenery and music were amazing! And of course, I'm a sucker for a good love story. And when it takes place in Paris....even better. You can't get much more romantic than that.

How Dr Wale made life easy for me. I was in love with my high school girlfriend. We grew up together with strong love and sweet understanding. We were living peacefully together with ourselves. But here is how things started going wild for us. My woman works in a different city far away from me, So the best way of getting in touch is through communicating on the phone. But after five months, Our communication started slowing down. Whenever I call her she'll say she's busy and that she'll call me back when she's done with everything. That day will finish without her calling back, It's continue for months till I decide to pay her a surprise visit in the city where she works. After some few days with her I found out that my woman has been having an affair with his boss in the office. When I tried to question her about it, She told me that she was done with me and she doesn't want us to continue anymore. Those words broke my heart into pieces to the point that I almost took my life. Before going to my city she blocked me on all her social media handles. I went back to my city with deep pain inside of me, I was depressed and felt betrayed by her actions. After some months still living in pain and bitterness I told a friend of mine about the issues, My friend told me he'II introduced me to Dr Wale he said that Dr Wale is the only man that can bring back my happiness. He said to me his marriage is perfect today with the help of Dr Wale. When I reached out to Dr Wale and told him everything that was going on he told me to be calm and that I'II be a happy man again. Dr Wale instructed me to make payment for Items needed. The magic started when my woman gave me a call two days later crying on the phone begging me to please have mercy on her. She said she doesn't know what came over her that made her behave badly. We're now back together living happily again like we used to before. I wanna give all thanks to Dr Wale for making everything possible and for bringing my woman back to me. If you need any kind of help Dr Wale is the right man to contact.
