Here is a must-share recipe. I stole this one from my mother-in-law. They are fabulous, easy to make, and a real crowd pleaser. I made them recently for our SS class breakfast and all the husbands were raving about them. Plus, I just love to say "scone." Makes me feel rich and British and named "Kate." And when you tell people that you've made scones they are like, "Wow! Really?" So definitely make these!
Over the years, I've tried a wide variety of dishes. Some took too long to cook while others were ready in a matter of minutes. There were a few that tasted utterly disgusting or were just too complicated. Then there have been those that were pure pleasure to the palate. My all-time favorites are those that delight and go from zero to plate effortlessly ...
I've agonized all day over what to fix for supper tonight. My shopping trip this week was a total disaster ... but that's a blog for another time. The point is what can I fix with the limited number of ingredients in my fridge and pantry OR what can I make after a very quick trip to the store (with three boys in tow who just want to go home and play the Wii). While I never snub a recipe just because it has 50 different ingredients (some of which I've never heard of before) and takes 5 hours to prepare, on the average weeknight, I'm really all about quick and easy. So after scouring my recipe books and eliminating what I really want to fix, stir-fry beef and snow peas, because my husband is taking me out tomorrow and we might go for oriental cuisine ... ahhhh, deep breath ... I've decided on stuffed bell peppers. Now, I just need to decide which variation: spicy or mild. I love spicy, but would my husband and kids eat it? Hmmm. I'll make both! Do men realize the struggle we moms go thru just to put food on the table? Probably not, but that's what makes us so special.
