Strawberry Barley Scones
Sorry to have disappeared for a bit. Last week I got a migraine that lasted almost three days before it started turning into a regular headache. Then the next few days were spent catching up on housework, laundry etc. Over the weekend we had to take our computer back to Denver to have a part replaced, so it has been a busy, and definitely not normal week. This week is off to a much better start. Yesterday we made these Strawberry Barley Scones from the book Good to the Grain. She does a great job of describing the unique flavours of the different kinds of flours out there, and I am really excited to make more from this book. These scones were really, really good. Since we first got married, every Valentines Day Hubby and I have always cooked together after the kids have gone to bed. It started out as a way to celebrate without spending a lot of money on eating out when we didn’t have any extra cash and it has remained our tradition whether times were lean or not. I love to cook with him and it’s nice to make a meal without any distractions. Last night we made this Sausage and Kale Soup. Absolutely delicious and another plus is that it made a rather large pot, so I don’t have to double the recipe to feed all of us. I wasn’t able to take any photos, but trust me, if you like delicious, hearty soups, try it. Well, the wind has been atrocious around here, but we have had a few warmer days, perhaps spring is on it’s way. Hope everyone has a fantastic day.
Sorry your week was not a good one last week Jennifer. Migraines are the worst. Glad this week has got off to a good start for you. Those scones look absolutely delicious.
Mr H and I don’t usually go out on Valentines day. We hate the thought that it is expected that you go out and spend a fortune on an overpriced meal for an evening!
We like to cook together too when the kids go to bed and had a lovely meal (despite me feeling under the weather!).
The weather here is very grotty too. Let’s hope Spring shows itself soon!!!!!
Take care

YUM!
Hi chickadee! Spring is coming! When I was 5 years old I wrote in my handwriting book, a little poem. It said
‘Spring is coming.
Spring is coming.
Birdies build your nests!’
And that’s still how I feel.
Against all the migraines in the world,
Loads of love, Amanda xxx
So sorry about your migraine–hope you’re feeling 100% better now 🙂 Those scones should certainly help! They look wonderful. I’ve heard so much about the book but have been a bit nervous about ordering it as I don’t have much experience with whole wheat flours.

Oooh so sorry about the scary smiley–I didn’t know my colon and parenthesis would come out so funny!

Kristina,
This is the first time I’ve used anything other than white or whole wheat and I was pleasantly surprised, you should go for it.
That looks a great book – I will have to add it to my wish list as I have no book buying money left at the moment! The scones look delicious and healthy – which can’t be bad! Glad you are feeling a bit better, take care and don’t do too much (well you know as little as poss!) Em xx
yummy scones!! (found you by way of soulemama.) I’m not much of a baker but I might have to give it a whirl now…..
Those scones look delicious!
Migraines are the worst; especially when you have children as life doesn’t exactly stop:)
Can’t wait to see more of your treats from that book.
