February… really? I’ve definitely gotten over that fuzzy feeling you get when it’s cold outside- because it’s absolutely freezing! But while we’ve been pretty luck so far weather-wise (fingers crossed!) I still felt like I needed a little boost. Something to remind me of warmer days and to help me imagine those soon to come.
All these thoughts about the days hotting up got me thinking about the summer and more importantly, our summer vacation. We haven’t been back to the beautiful US of A since our wedding, and this summer it will be a whole three years (gasp!) since then. So of course, heading home to the land of the free in on the top of my list of destinations at the moment. But- the travel monster needs feeding, and we’re hoping to stop over in…
ICELAND!
Ah I think I’ve got to stop writing and book our flights!
So let’s make this short, but oh so sweet. This is a fab recipe for Strawberry Rhubarb Scones. They are so buttery and flaky and dotted throughout with tart rhubarb and sweet strawberries. What’s brilliant is that they’re also incredibly fluffy inside, not too dense like some store bought scones. They are perfect with a big cup of tea! The other thing that’s great about the scones is that they are so easy. Just pulse the dough in the food processor, fold in the fruit, shape and bake! I have used this scone recipe many times with other fruits as well, and I particularly like the combination of blueberries and lemon zest or blackberry and orange zest.
So, with Valentine’s Day fast approaching, whip up some delicious Strawberry Rhubarb Scones for the one you love, and dream of exciting things to come.
