Kitchen Time

Heeey everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!! I sure did! We relaxed, had family time, and went to church. My cat even had some relaxation time with dad:

Before I forget to mention it, I got an awesome workout in on Friday! A few weeks ago, I cam across this circuit, and let me say, it doesn't look that hard, but by the fourth time you are doing pushups, it IS!!!! :D

Today's a busy day for my mom, so I thought I'd tackle breakfast. I made my first-ever scones!!!! They were actually pretty easy to throw together, and everyone seemed to like them! I confess that I haven't actually eaten one yet, but will for a post-workout treat! :D Anyway, here's the recipe that I used:

Banana Scones (adapted from Food.com)

Ingredients:

• 2 cups flour


• 3 T brown sugar (packed)


• 2 teaspoon baking powder


• 1/2 teaspoon salt


• 1 teaspoon cinnamon


• 6 T butter


• 8 T milk (I ended up adding a little more)


• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


• 2/3 cup diced banana

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Cut butter into a few chunks and rub it into the flour mixture with your fingertips.

Mix milk and vanilla in a small glass. Add the banana chunks and continue to stir, adding more milk if necessary, until dough comes together.

Pat dough into a disk about 1 inch thick. Cut into eight sections with a knife and place each on baking sheet.

Bake at 400F for 17-20 minutes, until light gold.                                                               I also made some homemade coffee creamer! My mom loves it, and since this is both her birthday and her wedding anniversary month, I thought I'd make her a special treat! It was actually super easy! All I did was combine 1/2 C milk, 1/4 to 1/3 C sweetened condensed milk (I didn't measure exactly :P) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract! Then, I shook everything up and voila we have vanilla  coffee creamer!

That's about it for me today.... What does your week look like?

Nothin' Much

Heey! Sorry for not posting the last couple of days......nothing has really happened.....

I am working on a vlog now, soooo it should be up sometime soon!!!! I'm super excited about that because it'll be my first vlog ever!! I LOVE seeing other people's and would love to do one as well!!!!!

Yesterday we spent practically the entire day at home....I baked some more fries for dinner and we had burgers (either beef or chicken, there was an option :D). Other than that, I haven't baked in the LONGEST time and am currently looking for something to make either today or tomorrow! Probably something breakfast-y for tomorrow, just because mom's going to have a busy day and the breadstore is closed today, so we can't get tomorrow's breakfast bread. Anyway, its still early and I'm thinking about it....got any ideas for a breakfast-y baked good? hahaha

Anyway, the only other thing that I did yesterday was take an Algebra II test.....the wrong one. In my online school, there are two programs (Academy, which is teacher-led and HIS, which is not), I'm an HIS student in most classes and an Academy student in one. Apparently, the Academy tests are different from the HIS tests, and when my mom downloaded my Algebra test, she was on her Academy account. So I took it, and as she was grading it, she was circling pretty much every question. I almost had a heart attack! And then we checked the HIS test, and figured everything out. That was my excitement for the day, I guess!!!! :D

Today, we're going to relax in the morning, and go to church this evening....but I think that's it!

How has your weekend gone? Anything major happen?
