Raspberry and white chocolate. What’s a better combination? Certain foods simply pair well with one another and this one stands the test of time. Raspberry jam and white chocolate chips wrapped around a delicate enriched dough and smothered in thick, creamy, cream cheese frosting. Yes please!

Cherry, Orange and Thyme Scones
Spring has officially arrived in the desert of AZ and with it comes the bountiful harvest of citrus. Oranges, lemons, and grapefruit galore are everywhere on fruit trees and in the grocery stores.

Whole Wheat Bread
The art of making bread has been around for thousands of years. It’s been a staple in our diet across cultures and at every meal. Bread provides a valuable source of carbohydrates for energy and fiber for digestive health. However, within the last couple of decades many people are giving up on this common food item due to mostly fad diets promoting low carb diets. If you were to tell me to give up bread I would laugh and say good day.
Bacon, Cheddar, and Chive Scones
Back in my early twenties, I studied abroad in England at Cambridge University. Each day I would walk to class, stop by the local coffee shop, and order a small coffee with a pastry for breakfast. I honestly never grew up eating scones until I visited that lovely country. There’s something soothing about listening to the rain outside falling down, sipping a hot cup of tea or coffee and eating a scone with butter and jam on the side.
Spiced Cherry Pie
The amount of time I’ve spent thinking about this pie before I actually decided to follow through and bake it to perfection is cumbersome. Even before quarantine we’ve managed to re-watch multiple seasons of, The Great British Bake Off. The show is relaxing, it makes me hungry and seeing how genuinely kind British people are in a competition is astounding. Another benefit of the show is that it makes me think about potential recipe ideas and what I would do if I was there in the tent contemplating if I have the best flavor combinations or the stress of a “soggy bottom.”
