Strawberry Lemon Scones

I'm wrapping up #BrunchWeek with an item that love to eat but rarely make, scones.  I'm not sure why I don't make them at home, they're really easy.  I found Jacqueline H's recipe for lemon blueberry drop scones on the Taste of Home site but it's strawberry season here so I used those. 

The only other change to the recipe I made was to use Greek yogurt instead of regular. Most yogurt cups are only about 5oz now, so be sure to grab two.

Instead of greasing the baking sheet I used silicone baking mats to line them. I find they work well and makes for much easier clean up.

To drop the scones I used a medium cookie scoop.  That ensures the batter all gets portioned evenly and they all cook evenly.

I really enjoyed the little pop of lemon in the glaze but you certainly could use vanilla as well.  I'm looking forward to making these again with blueberries from our bushes next month and blackberries later in the summer.

I hope you've enjoyed #BrunchWeek as much as I have! Thank you so much Christie for hosting #BrunchWeek and to all of the other awesome bloggers for sharing their recipes, you can find those using the links down below.

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home. 

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband.
