Welcome! Today I’m going to share with you my Delicious Blueberry Scones With Almond Glaze recipe. I first had a similar scone at The Arrowhead Inn in Durham, North Carolina where we stayed many times during the 4 years my son was a student at Duke University. Owner and accomplished Chef Phil would serve […]

Today I’m getting a little sentimental because my son Taylor is about to graduate from college. I simply can’t believe it has been 4 years since I threw him a party for his high school graduation. It has taken me 4 years to accomplish this but I am finally making Taylor a photo album of […]
