These scones taste great with the glaze on top, but you can certainly serve them with much more.  Fresh fruit or compotes, lemon curd, clotted or whipped cream or simply powdered sugar are all perfect options.

To reheat a scone you could put them in the over at 300F for about 5-10 min or place them right into the microwave.

There is just something wholesome about Banana Bread.  It’s a delicious cake suited for any part of the day…it has banana’s, that means it’s good for breakfast right?  The one thing that didn’t really work well for me was cutting the cake and eating it on the go.  Since having three kids under four, fast and easy snacks and desserts are a must.  This Banana Bread Bar Recipe works for me and is just that!  If you want to stay extra clean then consider skipping the icing, the bars taste equally good without.  Sometimes fast and quick doesn’t involve tiny sticky fingers and faces

Yummy Banana Bread Bars!

Enter Rice Krispies.

The Rice Krispie Treat has been a bake sale mainstay for a long, long time. But they’re just boring blocks! You can reshape the mixture into the shape of a nest and then decorate as you please! We’ll get into that. First, let’s cover the recipe.

Ingredients:

6 cups of Rice Krispies (of course!)
1 package of marshmallows (10 oz.)
3 tablespoons of butter

Okay — let’s get to it!

Melt your butter in a stovetop pan. Add the larger marshmallows and stir the mixture until the marshmallows are completely melted. Take the pan off of the heat.

Mix your Rice Krispies into the pan. Stir until your Rice Krispies are completely covered.
Scoop the mixture into muffin pans and shape the mixture in each muffin slot into a “nest” shape.

Allow the “nests” to cool. Now you get to the fun part.

It’s time to let your imagination go wild. You could fill your little “nests” with the plastic grass that many use in Easter baskets, for instance. After that, the addition of some Robin’s Eggs (or maybe some jelly beans) will fill out your nest a bit more. And a Peep on top? That’s a real nest — one anyone would be happy to get this Easter holiday.
