One of my favorite past times is baking, there's just something so therapeutic about it. I'm the type that's always searching for new recipes, trying, learning new techniques and tinkering the recipe to my liking.
My favorite recipe that I'm obsessed with is bacon gruyere and green onion scones from Spoon Fork Bacon - LOVE their website and how cute is their name?! Their recipes are easy to follow and the food images corresponding with the recipes look like they are from a food magazine - always making me hungry. Anyhow, be sure to check out their website but fair warning you'll be drooling over everything!
