Every year, on March 14, aka Pi(e) Day (3.14, get it?) I bake a pie. I’m heading down to Seattle this week and the last thing I need in my house is a whole pie. Or half a pie. Actually, any pie at all is a bad idea. Instead of leaving you high and dry,…

Cheddar Buttermilk Scones
My mom is a vulture when it comes to homemade carb-alicious goodies. In all fairness, aren’t we all?
