It does not have to be complicated.

I think most people over think cooking. It does not have to be complicated or involved.  I  am not embarrassed to say I use a shortcut any time that I can and this scone recipe is one of those shortcuts.

There is just not enough time in my day to do everything from scratch....so here is a quick and easy recipe!

SCONES

2 (7oz.) packages of Martha Whit Blueberry Muffin Mix
1/4 C butter, chilled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1/2C sour cream
Heat oven to 400. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Place muffin mix in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender until texture of small peas.
Stir in sour cream until combined

Press together with floured hands. Place on lightly floured surface. Press together and knead 4 or 5 times until a smooth ball forms. Pat out to a 6 to 8 inch circle. Cut into wedges (like a pizza) with a large knife or pizza cutter. Place on lined cookie sheet. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 2 minutes, then gently remove to cooling rack.

I am going to try the other Martha White Mixes in place of the blueberry...strawberry, apple cinnamon, maybe even the chocolate chip.

Ms. Terry (not me)...YOU ROCK!

I was just on FB (I have a small little addiction) and read a post from the youngest.  She is a teacher in Florida and presently teaches gifted children from her school and 3 others and also spends part of her day with the at risk kids from her school.

Her post: :   "So far today:  I boarded the bus to regulate 60+ kids bus behavior, covered for a teacher whose substitute was late, removed students from a class who were fist fighting, helped process 2 referrals, counseled a student who was being bullied, ran to the library because we are one librarian down and pushed into a reading class to assist students. Yeah, you are right "teachers" totally get paid enough. Ps. My coffee is on my desk. Cold."

I always hesitate to to brag on my kids.  But I am so proud of the women they have become. I wish I could take the credit.  I parented by the seat of my pants with the most supportive husband you could ask for. He is the best father I could have ever wished for. Both the Big man and I had single parents who set an amazing example of what a parent should be and then they were wonderful as grand parents.

The girls are kind, happy, healthy, well adjusted, productive human beings.....I am blessed.

By blogging today I really just wanted the youngest to know...Ms. Terry YOU ROCK!

Much Love......Momma

And "MY" PS.....I think you did learn the discipline "thang" from me...oxoxxxox
