The actual scones fresh from the oven, I’m sorry I’m not a food photographer, they taste better than they look, I promise. I love baking, as you have probably gathered by now. As you may not be aware, I also love using essential oils for all kinds of things. I have always heard about cooking… Continue reading Blueberry Lemon Cardamom Scones

The type of character you could actually imagine being a real person.… Continue reading The Hannah Swensen Mysteries By Joanne Fluke
