  1. Those cinnamon twist scones look so good! I ‘d love one or two with my morning coffee ๐Ÿ™‚

    I received a new cookbook for Christmas and I’m trying a few recipes from the book this week. Last night we had General Tso’s Meatballs with brown rice and broccoli and it was just delicious! I can’t wait to make it again ๐Ÿ™‚

    Have a great week!
