I just dropped off some yummy freshly baked goodies at Food works in Monroe! Today’s specials are Apple Pie Crumb Muffins, Double Chocolate Muffins and Pumpkin Pecan Scones!
The chocolate muffins smelled so good coming out of the oven that I just had to eat one!. It melted inside my mouth. It was so sweet and so moist, delish! I made smaller muffins to donate to our Stepney Bingo Night tonight too. Should be lots of fun. A family event!
You can stop over at Food works anytime to pick up your sweet breakfast treats!
Yesterday, I was back in the classroom with my amazing students from our Arts & Imagination Food Jules Cooking Class. It’s been a couple weeks since we’ve been together with the week off due to the snowstorm and last Tuesday being Julian’s birthday. It was so refreshing to be back in the classroom and as soon as I saw the kids coming in to start our session, I was so excited to see them. I had missed my kids!
We continued our “Nutritious and Delicious” theme with healthy and great tasting snacks. My very talented and sweet students made fresh Hummus, which we used for our Hummus and Cucumber Sandwiches, Apple and Cheddar Mini-Quiches, Granola for our Yogurt Parfaits and finally, a slightly sweet yet good for you, Pumpkin Pecan Scones. Yes, I always include a muffin or scone as part of a snack mix!
Yet again, everything was delicious and they ate it all up! Our scone team even made two batches so that they would have some to take home and share with their families! The students are all so considerate, always packing up some extras (if there are any) or saving some from their own plates, so they can bring home to share with their brothers, sisters, mothers and/or fathers. It is the sweetest thing ever! They are so proud of their hard work and are excited to share it with their loved ones. Us, adults, can learn a lot from our children!
I’m looking forward to next week…. when we cook Nutritious and Delicious Dinner! Until then, listen to your kids, appreciate all of their hard work (it’s not easy being a kid or an adult for that matter!), all of their accomplishments, their generosity, their sweetness, their innocence and most of all, enjoy their unconditional love!
Oh my…. these Pumpkin Pecan Scones are DELISH. Really, they are just a perfect blend of sweetness and crunchiness.
Let me tell you the story. I’ve been experimenting A LOT with pureed pumpkin. I’ve made ravioli, muffins, bread, pie, cheesecake, waffles etc. Well, it’s pumpkin season and one of my classes at the library was all about pumpkins… so I wanted to get creative. Anyway, a couple weeks back, while I was shopping at Whole Foods, I picked up a Pumpkin Pecan Scone. I loved it and decided that I just had to learn how to make it. As many of you know or have learned about me, is that I love to eat scones, muffins and breads. They are “healthier” then other sweet treats, since I make them low in sugar and substitute half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour, yet give that sweet satisfaction. Scones have become one of my favorites and I have learned how to make a few different varieties, even though the Maple Oatmeal Scone that started my whole “love of scones” is still my favorite, until today!
These pumpkin scones top the chart. You just have to try and make them. I rate them EXCEPTIONAL!
