Strawberry and White Chocolate Scones
These Strawberry and White Chocolate Scones are an easy and delicious treat. Perfect for sharing over a cup of tea!
Our warm summer-like weather has me feeling nostalgic which means I’m in the kitchen baking. I’ve got the windows and doors open, I can hear summer birds and the familiar sounds of summer waking up in the suburbs. I’m so happy that summer is upon us, but I especially can’t wait until the kids are out of school and we can all just chill out. Because we’re tired yo. T.I.R.E.D. May/June are hard months for the kids with all the after school sports and school work at its maximum, not to mention that they all could use a little break from a lot of their friends whether they realize it or not. And I’m exhausted from all the running around…I’ve been back and forth to Dr. and ortho appointments more times than I can count, the boys have rugby and soccer 4 times a week between the two of them, my daughter is in volleyball 2 times a week and then mix in there the fact that I’m training for a 5k race and oh ya, everyone still needs to have clean clothes and be fed multiple times a day. 😉 And there’s been gardening, painting and housekeeping. Whew. I’m grateful for our busy and healthy life, but I’m tired.
So what do I do to de-stress? I bake. Baking is a sure fire way to make me relax. It forces me to slow down…I turn off the TV, and immerse myself in mixing, kneading and baking. So that’s how these Strawberry and White Chocolate Scones came to be. I needed a quiet moment in all the chaos, and it worked. I got to relax and we all got a delicious afternoon treat from it.
These scones are quick and easy to make, and I just know you’ll love them…strawberries and white chocolate are a match made in foodie heaven.
