When life hands you blueberries make scones and get drunk.
The Husband was busy training for a cycling race and finishing up his final semester projects, so Lily, Poppy, the Monster and I had ourselves a girls’ day in. We made blueberry scones and watched Eat Pray Love in our pajamas. Then we decided a blueberry cocktail was the best way to find balance in our lives. Screw meditation. After that, we napped off our blueberry filled bellies. It was a nice way to spend a Sunday.

mmmm, love blueberries. that cocktail looks so good!
Blueberry has to be my favorite fruit. Sounds like you had a wonderful day.
Thanks for stopping by!
This day sounds perfect! I can handle the blueberry cocktail, but scones always intimated me. Perhaps the cocktail will help with the fear of baking scones!
Tamra these scones are easy breezy and delic! Give it a shot. If they’re horrible, chase them with the cocktail and you won’t even notice.
Please come stay for two weeks and cook for me every day. I will fill you with alcohol and design ideas.

yes and yes!
My mouth is watering! You are becoming a little Martha Stewart S!
I had lemon ricotta pancakes this weekend (at the village idiot on melrose). They were pretty heavenly. Ur scones look just as delicious if not more!
Oh, what fun! Thanks so much for sharing the recipes : )
Ash, this is the easiest scone recipe. I’m not a baker and I was able to pull this off. And it requires no cream. Highly recommend.
