Our Blog's First Recipe! Tiny Strawberry Cream Scones

I can't believe it's taken nearly 3 whole months for any of us (especially me) to post a recipe! Well the day has come! And I figured I would start with something super simple, but delightful. And from my favourite baker and food blogger - Joy the Baker. I could spend have spent hours reading Joy's blog. She writes the way my inner monologue sounds in my head. Basically, I feel like she's our kind of people. So if you haven't already, I seriously recommend you spend some time with her.

Here's a link to the recipe - Tiny Strawberry Cream Scones. I can see these becoming a staple at our house. I made them to bring to our friend's housewarming brunch this morning. And they were the first thing to disappear - so fast that I didn't even get one! But don't feel too bad for me I did some sampling before I bought them over. And I have enough strawberries to make another batch.



And what made this recipe even better... Joy herself left a comment on my Instagram! And I quote - "Perfection!!"
I was so filled with joy - pardon the pun, I couldn't resist! - I turned to Corey and squealed! And I don't squeal.


Anyways, gotta run, just pulling a dinner out of the oven (roast chicken & veggies). And since it's such a gorgeous evening, we're going to take it down to the beach and eat there!

  1. You're right, Alysia. I can't believe none of us have posted a recipe yet. Glad the first one is "Joy certified" - that's for sure! :) I was so excited (and not at all jealous) to see her post.
    Hope you had a fabulous picnic. xo

  2. OMG Brown Butter! If I have learnt anything from Joy it is brown Butter! I can not wait to make her Peanut Butter cake for My birthday! Aaron doesn't like peanut butter so I would feel selfish making it for any other occasion hehe

  3. Yes, brown butter is wonderful! I've been working through Joy's recipes, pretty much everything I've made lately is from her blog. I made her strawberry rhubarb crumb pie a couple weeks ago and it was amazing! I think I'll be making it again this weekend. I'll have to post a list of links to the recipes I've tried recently.

    And you'll have to let me know how the peanut butter cake turns out. Corey is obsessed with everything peanut butter! He would eat it all day, everyday...if I let him! How could you marry someone who doesn't like peanut butter!? ;)
