It could be my English blood, but I love muffins,biscuits, and scones! I’m a huge fan of baking powder and baking soda breads! They are so easy to make when you are in a hurry and looking for something yummy! When done right they are light, flaky, and a carb lovers dream come true! Last week I was looking for something to smother with my freshly made peach jam. These Peaches and Cream scones filled the bill! I think you’ll love them as much as we did!
Whats Cooking
I was busy canning peaches this week and helping my daughter dehydrate cinnamon apple slices. What to make for dinner was not high on my priority list. Not to mention, after canning all day, the last thing I wanted to do was cook! What I needed was a meal I could toss into the crock pot that morning and forget about it till dinner time. I have been craving a chicken and wild rice soup! I’ve seen a lot of recipes for them but, they all had a lot of “steps” and I was looking for a “lazy soup”! So, I decided to make my own! This creamy chicken and wild rice soup is the result! Thanks to my handy-dandy crock pot, the house smelled heavenly all day…almost like Thanksgiving! This is my new favorite “go to” soup recipe for the upcoming cold Fall and Winter months! It’s delicious! Seriously… It’s REALLY delicious and SO easy! You’re going to love it and so will all the other birdies at your Nest! Come take a peek…
The leaves are beginning to turn yellow, orange, and red and flutter to the ground! Fall is sneaking up on us. We are seeing all things “pumpkin” on Pinterest! Before it’s gone… let’s hang on to the last few vestiges of summer with this amazing Fresh Peach Cake A La Mode! This was one of the very first desserts I had when arriving in Utah, 20 some years ago, and although I’ve made a few changes, it is still one of my all time favorite fresh fruit desserts! Before it’s too cold to sit out on the back porch and enjoy the sunsets…whip up this amazing fresh peach cake and enjoy one or two more summer nights with the family!
I’ve been dying to make this salad and share it with y’all! It’s my very favorite Fall salad and it’s out of this world! Tangy blue cheese, fruity sliced pears, creamy avocado, and crunchy candied pecans are all pulled together with an amazing mustard garlic vinaigrette dressing! If your mouth has been looking for a flavor explosion this is it! It’s so easy to make and so impressive to serve. I love to serve this salad during the Holidays but, truth be told, it’s great for week day lunch with friends! You will impress everyone when you make this salad…just be sure to invite me over when you do!

With Fall approaching I’m craving family favorite’s! Like this yummy Chicken Tortilla Casserole. A flavorful and easy chicken casserole that reminds me of rich creamy chicken enchiladas! A great weeknight meal for the entire family and as a bonus… it can be made ahead of time! Which is so nice with school back in session and schedules getting busier. You’re gonna love this one!
Fall is in the Air! I see the golden yellows starting to top all the trees. I’m ready for football, apple cider, cool crisp air, plaid blankets, and pumpkins!
