Orange Dark Chocolate Chip Scones
Posted on January 24, 2011
It really is Joy the Baker’s fault. I have been baking scones every day since I read her post for Orange and Dark Chocolate Buttermilk Scones. I knew I would have to make my own gluten free version. So I did. And it’s scone mania over here. It’s gotten so bad that last weekend I

A piping hot bowl of this gluten free Broccoli Soup is the perfect dish for today. Why?

I made these super healthy salt and vinegar kale chips the other night before dinner, and was shocked, I mean absolutely shocked, that my children ate them.
