Since August I have really been trying to lose weight and to get healthy. To date I have been able to lose 37 lbs :D I struggle with not making fastening foods and baking. I have been really watching the amount of fat and sugar I use when cooking for my family. Today I was in the mood to bake and decided to whip up a batch of scones. I tend to look up about 5 different recipes and then build my own from there. Here is my recipes for these amazing lemon blueberry drop scones!
