Baking with Baked ’till Baked!

Screech!!! To a halt!  I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am for the two feet of snow we got here in Baltimore!  I know, I know, in Minnesota, two feet is an every day occurrence!  Chris Ann was just saying the other day she was driving her daughter to soccer in the snow.  Yes, she plays outdoors no matter what the weather!  They are hard core up there!  But, here in Baltimore, a call for two inches swipes the shelves clear of toilet paper and milk. So, just imagine for a minute what it was like for us with a prediction of … [Read more...]

And, quite possibly only in Minnesota!! -because we need to amuse ourselves during the white outs! What a thrill to discover it was covered in … [Read more...]

Cranberry Orange & White Chocolate Scones

But, then the cheerful gals behind the counter beckoned me in with an offer of a cup of hot chocolate!   Let me tell you, that was one … [Read more...]
