Lemon Scones

April 26, 2010
Oh how I  love lemon…
especially lemon desserts.
That wasn’t always the case though,
you see when I was younger it was all about the CHOCOLATE I wouldn’t choose anything but CHOCOLATE!
Now I’m glad I grew up a bit and branched out because now I LOVE lemon!

    I love anything with lemon. I made cranberry orange scones before, but never lemon…not sure why.
