Delicious Pumpkin Scones

Hi friends,

If you are looking for a yummy fall treat to bake for your family these pumpkin scones will be the perfect fit!
This delicious recipe comes from my aunt J who is an incredible cook and loves to bake up yummy treats to share with family and friends. A few years ago I planned and hosted a surprise tea party for my grandmothers 85th birthday and of course a tea party wouldn't be complete without yummy food! My aunt happily baked up these amazing scones along with her exposition scones (recipe and more info about the tea party can be found on my instagram @thishomeschoolerslife. ) for the party. They are always a big hit & devoured quickly ;) I knew I had to get her recipe to bake them with my kiddos :)

Pumpkin Scones:

2 Cups Flour

7 Tablespoons Sugar

1 Tablespoon Baking Powder

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon Cloves

1/4 teaspoon Ginger

*Mix all the above ingredients & cut in: 6 Tablespoons Cold Butter

* In a new bowl combine:

1/2 cup Canned Pumpkin

3 Tablespoons half and half

1 large egg

*Combine ingredients into large mixing bowl.

Form gently into a ball. Pat out onto a lightly floured surface. Cut into wedges or rectangles using a pizza cutter/slicer. Place onto a sprayed/greased cookie sheet or on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper 1-2 inches apart.

*Bake for 14-16 minutes at 425 degrees (15minutes seems to be our perfectly baked golden number ;) )

*Remove from oven, carefully move onto cookie rack to cool.

*Serve with home made Devonshire cream & homemade jam :) (recipe for Devonshire cream here: https://thishomeschoolerslife.blogspot.com/2020/10/easy-homemade-devonshire-cream-recipe.html

The Ultimate comfort food: Easy Green bean tater tot casserole

Hi Friends, Today I'm going to share my grandma's delicious green bean tater tot casserole. It is super simple to make, can easily be made ahead and stored in the fridge for later in the week or in the freezer for up to 3 months. I love that it is easy to make, is a great comfort food (similar to shepherds pie without all the extra calories) and the options of what you add in are limitless and can be catered to around every food restriction & easily adapted to fit your families needs. Ingredients: ⬥1 1/2-2 cups of cooked green beans (fresh) or 1 14oz can of green beans. *They can be chopped or whole, that is up to you and what fits your families needs best. ⬥1 can of organic cream of chicken, cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup (choice of soup is up to your preference. I tend to use cream of chicken or cream of celery soup with chicken and cream of mushroom if my meat base if beef). ⬥ 1-2 lbs of ground beef cooked (or could swap out fo...

Touring the Plantations of Charleston, part I: Drayton Hall

One of our main hopes while we visited Charleston was to visit & tour some of the stunning southern plantations in the area. While we were in Charleston we managed to visit 4 out of 5 plantations that are in close proximity of the city. Join me as I take us on a tour of Drayton Hall, Middleton Place, Magnolia Plantation and Boone Hall Plantation. We will stroll down history lane, as I share my favorite parts of each plantation, a little brief history of each, recommendations of what to see first, time to arrive at each plantation & best day/time to visit them. To get started one of the first things to consider is which plantations you'd like to visit and the amount you are comfortable spending & then decide what time of year you plan to visit. You'll need to figure out how many plantations you plan to visit during your vacation and how you'd like to fit your tours into your schedule. *I'd also suggest planning to start your day(s) bright and early to allow...
