Cranberry Lemon Scones will delight your tongue with a bright lemony flavor that is highlighted by small intense bursts of cranberry morsels tucked into each bite!
Y’all, these are seriously so-so good!
Scones, much like a biscuit in texture are versatile; I’m learning they go with practically anything you decide to put with them.
Savory meat gravies, tomato & herb sauces or sweetened up with choices like strawberries, peaches or as the name implies Cranberry and Lemon!
(BTW, I wouldn’t pass one up with just butter & jam either. Just saying…)
As for the lemon aspect to these; my lifetime lemon meter got tanked off as a kid when I use to suck down lemon juice packets. Rest assured these are not like biting into a lemon wedge or drinking concentrated lemon juice. Not even close! While these lovelies do have the zest 
Your jaw will not seize up nor will your saliva glands over react. *Yay*
The zest lightens the dough just enough to give it a hint of sunshine. 🙂
The freshness of the lemon followed by varied levels of cranberry ending with a sweetened lemon glaze drizzled over the top —
*Holy YUM Moley*

By the way, this was my first time to make scones.
I thought my batter was too wet.
Trust me, it was not.
The wet batter cooked to perfection leaving a toasty light brown outside and crumbly inside!
Lately, I’ve become infatuated with all the different varieties I can make.
I followed this recipe exactly but will soon experiment with my own twists to bring you my usual #twofer 🙂

. Problem with the microwave is it seems to dry out my potato. It’s not fluffy. The outside becomes tough and chewy. In other words ~ YUK!
When the secret was revealed I might have squealed just slightly at the simplicity. Shhhhh, that’s our secret mkay? 😉
! That’s it. Salt. See the picture, the outside is coated in salt after being washed. The salt draws the moisture to the outside and magically turns it crispy. (It’s not magic, its science but hey – tomatoe tomato.) I mean it isn’t ‘fryer’ crispy but it isn’t tough n chewy. #score
bag, add your potatoes and microwave! Actually, let your salted potatoes sit, covered with salt for at least 30 minutes. Then 
. Luckily there isn’t much guess-work since most microwaves have a baked potato setting already programmed, so follow your 
directions accordingly.
The toppings for a baked potato are endless! This night, I used the typical butter, sour cream, chives and cheddar which paired nicely with smokey 
chicken breast and parmesan crusted zucchini bites but full disclosure is I have been known to go all fajita style or Bar-B-Que Bacon Ranch & Chicken making one into a full meal deal! #EasyPeasy
, YES please!) I enjoy making sweet but healthy breakfast dishes that ‘fill us up’ without ‘filling us up’ for dinner.

over all for a light sweet addition to the oats. Definitely a meal deal on evenings when its still topping at a whopping 108 outside!
Making sure the cover would lock to keep critters out, ensuring airflow ~ I felt good about my recycling endeavor and started filling the drum with kitchen scraps & garden trimmings, turning it daily as I had interpreted from the pic. Payday happened at the beginning of Spring 2018 when my efforts were rewarded with beautiful black rich soil! WHOOT! I was so excited at my success! 🙂 As soon as it was warm enough that black gold was spread over every single raised bed, used in all my pots and even layered in some ground areas. Anticipation grew as I soon started seeing little sprouts everywhere. Yay! I was all happy with myself; maybe I do have a green thumb… HaHaHa, If Only! Ya see, all the sprouts were IDENTICAL. Every pot. Every bed. Every spot I used my black gold had the exact same sprout.
