Bacon Cheddar Apple Scones

By //  by Candace Sampson 32 Comments

Nothing says lovin' like baked goods and these Bacon Cheddar Apple Scones scream love. For starters, who doesn't love warm scones from the oven? Secondly, bacon. Third, cheese. Honestly, need I say more? I either had you at bacon or cheddar, but either way you know these babies are right up your alley. That's why I chose these Bacon Cheddar Apple Scones for my February Life Made Delicious post, since February is all about the love. We're loving each other on Valentine's day and loving our …

Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins

By //  by Candace Sampson 1 Comment

I love baking all the treats for my family's lunches. The best way to ensure that I'm not standing at the oven daily though is to bake in large quantities and freeze in portions for quick lunch-packing in the morning. This recipe makes 24 muffins and one loaf. I love nuts in zucchini bread but most schools have a no nut policy. If you don't intend to send these to school, cut back on the chocolate chips by half and add in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts. Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins 6 …

Not only can he bake up delicious loaves of bread and soft buns, but he also makes his own naan! Total enabler that man. Now, he's moved onto homemade tortillas! You know what this means, right? I can never leave him. Sly like a fox that guy. Recipe for Tortillas 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour; more for kneading and rolling 1 tsp. table …
