CopyCat Petite Vanilla Scones -The New, Improved Recipe
Everything these days is new and improved. Almost daily name brands boast that they are new and improved and most of the time, from what I can see anyway, they really only change the packaging.
I guess food bloggers are somewhat the same. Every once in awhile I have to go back over old recipes and see if I can make them better.

Warm and gooey, crispy-crunchy, rich and sickeningly sweet, s’mores are the stuff that childhood memories are made of. What better way to relive all those old memories than a warm, gooey s’mores breakfast bread? Continue reading
Cookies and Cream Dip
If you like cookies and cream ice cream or cheesecake you’ll probably love this dip. It has all of that cookies and cream flavor with the tang of cream cheese. Chopped white chocolate is folded in for extra flavor. Delicious!
This is a sweet dip but if you like a sweet/salty combo consider using pretzel rods, pretzels, potato chips, or Ritz crackers as dippers. Continue reading
