Sunday Kind of Love Breakfast 🍳
I set out to make plain scones… and somewhere along the way, I made my own instead. Swapped in brown sugar, added dried cherries and slivered almonds, and let it all come together the way a good Sunday should—slow and a little improvised 😌🎀
Here it is. Enjoy.👌🏽
Brown Sugar, Cherry + Almond Scones 🍒
Ingredients
• 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour (plus more for hands and surface)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, very cold (grated)
• 1/2 cup half-and-half (+ 2 Tbsp for brushing)
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp almond extract
• 1–1 1/2 cups dried cherries 🍒 and slivered almonds
• Optional: coarse brown sugar + extra almonds for topping
Instructions
Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, salt, and baking powder. Grate in the cold butter and gently work it in with a spoon or your hands.
In a separate bowl, whisk the half-and-half, egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Pour into the dry ingredients and gently combine. Fold in the cherries and almonds.
If the dough feels too wet, add a touch more flour; too dry, a splash more cream.
Turn onto a floured surface and shape into an 8–10 inch disc. Cut into 8–10 wedges. Brush with half-and-half and sprinkle with brown sugar and almonds.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake at 400°F for 18–20 minutes, until lightly golden at the edges.
PS… I made brown sugar butter. One stick of butter and 1/3 cup of brown sugar. Mix it real good.😊

Broccoli 🥦 cheddar 🧀 soup 🥣 + seasoned chicken breast is what’s for dinner. It was a hit. The key to excellent broccoli cheddar soup is to add the cheese once the fire is off and has had about 5 minutes to cool. If you add the cheese at high heat the soup will be grainy.
Here’s the recipe I used.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 medium chopped onion
1/4 cup flour
2 cups half-and-half cream
2 cups low-sodium chicken stock or broth
1 lb broccoli chopped into bite size pieces
1 cup carrot, grated
Tiny sprinkle of nutmeg, (brings out the flavor)
8 ounces grated sharp cheddar cheese, (2 cups)
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Melt the 1/4 cup butter and sautee the onions in it until soft. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture. Cook and stir over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.
Whisk in the half & half and chicken stock.
Add the broccoli and carrots. Cook over low heat for 20-25 minutes or until the broccoli and carrots are tender.
Add salt and pepper. You can leave the soup chunky or blend about 1 cup of the soup and stir it in for a smoother soup. Turn off heat, let it cool for 5 minutes and add the cheese. If your heat is too high your soup will get grainy. Stir in the nutmeg.
Serve with buttery crusty bread.
Leftovers for lunch…
Enjoy 🩷🥦🧀🥣 🍞 🧈

Sunday roast and mashed 🥔 potato dinner.
Instant Pot:
Small 4 lb roast, 2 cups of carrots 🥕, medium onion 🧅 sliced, 5 cloves of peeled garlic 🧄, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 1 cup of canned jalapeño juice/brine and 2 of the jalapeños, salt 🧂 and pepper to taste. Pressure cook for 90 minutes (60 minutes is not enough) let the pressure release naturally. Keep on warm till you are ready to serve. Amazing.
Crockpot:
3 medium to large russet 🥔. Crock on high for 4 hours. When a fork 🍴 or knife easy pierces the potato it’s ready.
Peel them. Smash them. 5 tablespoons of butter and 5 tablespoons of sour cream. Salt 🧂 and pepper to your liking. Amazing.

I have been loving, roasted bell peppers in a very simple sandwich. Pictured: toasted Ezekiel bread, a thin layer of cream cheese, a slice of provolone, 3/4 of a roasted bell pepper, topped with prosciutto and black pepper. 👌🏾

The whole house smells of lavender lemon baked chicken and sweet potatoes. We had double sweet potatoes: savory and sweet for dessert 🍮. Dinner was simple, yet so delicious.
Chicken Seasoning:
1 Tablespoon of herbs de Provence
1 teaspoon garlic powder (fresh even better if you’re in the mood to peel and mince)
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
3 Tablespoons of EVOO
3 Tablespoons white vinegar
1 squeeze juice of 1 fresh lemon 🍋 zest is nice but optional
3 Tablespoons butter 🧈
Mix all ingredients except butter.
Rub all over chicken.
Add pieces of butter throughout the dish.
Bake at 375F 40 minutes.
Bake the sweet potatoes at the same time.

Okay…well these sweets 🍬 are terribly delicious 😆. I wrapped them up individually like a piece of candy… because, well they are. Nice, chewy, rich and just a simply delicious confection. As I was wrapping up these morsels of love - my husband, said, “you’re not going to gift them all, are you?” I said, “calm down, honey, there’s enough to go around.” ☺️😉
Inspired by Soft Sugar M&M Cookie Bars. I did not have chocolate M&Ms, but I did have chocolate chips and walnuts. I’d like to say, “use what you have.”
