Chocolate Cranberry Pumpernickel Scones
Last week (prior to my hand surgery) I did some baking while I still had the chance… I had taken a bit of a break over the holidays, and it was nice to get back in the kitchen!
I still had some of the pumpernickel flour I had ordered left in my pantry, so I decided to use it to make some scones. I really love the combination of chocolate and cranberries, so I went with that flavor combination. These scones are easy to make and taste fabulous topped with a smear of Nutella. They are best served right away, though, because I found that they dried out a bit after a day or two.
Kitchen Bootcamp Roundup – Hors d’Oeuvre and Appetizers
When I announced the November/December Kitchen Bootcamp challenge, I had grandiose plans for all of the lovely appetizers I would make. The holidays seemed like a wonderful time for me to finally embrace the concept of appetizers and come up with a few of my own. But, as it often does, life just got in the way.
I love to order appetizers at a restaurant, but when it comes to making them myself, I usually just can’t be bothered. I’m more of a cheese and crackers person. So, even though it sounded like a lot of fun to develop new appetizers during the holidays, when things got busy, they went right back to the bottom of my priority list. I would just much rather spend time on a fancy dessert or the main dish than worry about appetizers.
