Cheddar Bacon Chili Scones

I told you I’m super into scones at the moment!  Especially savory ones..  But come on, who doesn’t love cheddar cheese and bacon!  It’s something that is just too good to be true, and when placed into a flakey and adorably shaped scone, you cannot go wrong!  I found some super thick and delicious local bacon from Langley at the grocery store and got totally inspired to make some delicious scones with the bacon!  I wish I had access to my usual favorite Red Barn Smoked Maple Bacon, but unfortunately there is not yet a Red Barn in Vancouver.

Sweet Potato Scones

Jumbo sweet potatoes were on sale at the grocery store the other day, so naturally, Andrew and I bought not 1, but 2!!  Now you may think these are just a couple of large sweet potatoes, but let me tell you – they are HUGE.  One sweet potato made enough sweet potato fries for 2 nights, AND these sweet potato scones.  Seriously, I’m talking biggest sweet potato you have ever seen!!! It’s hard to just use half a sweet potato and then leave the other half until I can think up a new recipe, so I will be sure to have a few sweet potato ideas thought up before I cut into the next jumbo beauty.

 

Chili, Cheddar and Green Onion Scones

Lately I have been slightly obsessed with scones.  There is something about that light and flakey texture that I can’t seem to get enough of!  Especially when my scones are loaded with cheese!!  I mean don’t get me wrong I do love a good sweet scone every now and then, but these savory and slightly spicy scones are da bomb!!  Not to mention cheese makes everything taste better…  It also helps that the people I’m living with love cheese too, and ensures I don’t eat all of the scones to myself.

Super Star Cheddar and Jalapeno Biscuits

I have 2 exams on Monday, both 10 minutes apart. Yes, I’m quite scared but these will be the last 2 exams of my university career!! As a study break I decided to make something delicious. I found this amazing recipe for cheddar and jalapeno biscuits on A Beautiful Mess thought they looked super easy and delicious!

I decided to go ahead and make them because hey, everyone needs a break from studying right!!! Then disaster hit… No not to my biscuits – they actually turned our perfectly if I do say so myself 🙂
