Scones for Mother's Day

Hello, loyal readers! These past couple of weeks have been super busy, so we're putting our post up kind of late in the evening... but it's still technically Friday! Still, we apologize for the lateness of the hour.

As planned on our Spring Bucket List, we made our mom breakfast for dinner on Mother's day. Katie made turkey bacon and scrambled eggs, and Sarah baked three varieties of breakfast food, all of them chocolate. (We're linking to some recipes further down in the post.)

The baked goods were huge hits. Our family managed to polish off all of them within less than two days, if you can believe it. The chocolate chip muffins even received the compliment of being "better than Panera's." Click through for some amazing recipes:  scones  donuts  muffins 
They are all relatively easy to make, even for the inexperienced baker. Take Sarah's word for it, baked donuts are infinitely easier than fried, and way less mess. The only special equipment needed is a donut pan, which is cheap and worth the investment.

In addition to the food, we gave our dear mother some small gifts, which are pictured below.

Our mom is a fantastic human being, and it was wonderful to spend some quality time with her on Mother's day. How she put up with us all these years we'll never know. =) Tell us in the comments what you did with your mothers (or children).

Happy belated Mother's day to all you moms! We sincerely congratulate you on your patience and perseverance.
