Learning to cook together
I love me a simple recipe. Especially when it comes to baking because I am not as well versed in that compared with cooking. Though I have been improving: see my buttermilk biscuits and Irish soda bread. However, my wife taught me to make these super simple pumpkin chocolate […]
Behold the family tradition recipe that I knew growing up simply as ‘scones’. Until I learned later what most people consider scones – which are kind of crumbly and dry-looking and honestly, I’ve never had one (they’re probably tasty in their own right, but they are not my scones…). […]
