Quiet time before the Packers beat the Bears!

Enjoying my quiet morning today with a cup of coffee and a few slices of apple oatmeal bread.  A few weeks ago, I decided to support the King Arthur Flour brand more by purchasing their “The Baking Sheet” newsletter archive.  It came on 2 CD’s and is a PDF version of every issue released

Quick and Easy Lemon-Blueberry Scones
