Toffee Chip Shortbread Cookies

Freezer Peaches

This year we got a box of Yakima's Princess peaches and we decided to try freezing them the way Michelle's dad had last year.

So thanks to Michelle's dad and Google;)

Some of the best peaches ever!!

Cut 'em in half and pit 'em..

slice..

throw 'em in 1 can of orange juice concentrate-thawed

you can add a bit of water if you want

but the peaches were pretty juicy on their own.

make sure to toss well to coat all with the OJ

we put about 5 cups per freezer bag

These are what we used to make our Peach Streusel Coffee Cake-Yummmmy!!

Happy Wednesday!!

Cranberry-Orange Scones

These scones are to die for scrumptious!!!

The original recipe is the Maple Pecan Scones from The Pioneer Woman cookbook.

I decided to change them up a bit by adding craisins and orange zest with a little white chocolate icing to top them off.

First we zest these little clementine oranges then

squeeze the the juice out.

smells soooo good!!

Cut cold butter into flour mixture until resembles crumbs

then add craisins and zest, egg and cream.

Stir until just combined then turn onto a floured board and form ball.
