Fun with Food

Well here's a post to share with you some of my food forays in the past month or so. Not a lot, I need to make it a point to use my camera in the kitchen more...

 Making "Power Oatmeal" for a recent winter camping trip. I added powdered milk, cinnamon, brown sugar, a dash of salt, and some almonds to quick oats. It was delicious and all we had to do was add hot water and enjoy. No mess, no clean up.

An appetizer that I took to a food party recently. Slices of bread from a skinny baguette, dollop of humus, and a half-moon slice of cucumber. Delicious and simple!

I baked some blueberry scones for my mom's birthday last Sunday. Didn't quite get up early enough to serve it to her in bed...but I think she liked it nonetheless. Scones were paired with scrambled eggs and turkey sausage. The scones didn't turn out shaped like scones very well. They were supposed to be the classic wedge shape, but the frozen blueberries the recipe called for were a little freezer burned and mushy, making the batter too runny. Oh well, I'll just have to make them again. Maybe with huckleberries next time? Yum!
