I made Lemon Blueberry Scones recently. Houseguests took us out for a delicious and lingering breakfast and no one was hungry come lunch time. We waited until about 2:30 and had tea instead. Sliced melon, strawberries and other fruit, some cheese and deviled eggs made up the menu, but the star of the show was […]
Breakfast
Quick Scrambled Eggs and Bacon for a crowd

For breakfast we had pastries, coffee cakes, yogurt […]
