Caramelized Peach and Lavender Scones.

GUESS WHAT.

I grew this lavender!

!!!!!!!!!

Oh my gosh. Those little stems. Right there. Mine.

This is so deserving of a bajillion exclamation points.

Eeeep.

Am I a real adult now? I’m growing things. I can’t believe that things are actually growing under my supervision. Things aren’t burning up in the sun or dying from forgetfulness. Who am I and how did this happen?

Did I have to have a baby to learn how to garden?

More importantly, just when do I know that my peppers are ready to be picked, because I see an enormous bowl of guacamole side by side with salty margaritas in my future.

Very near future.

I’ll save you my sob story of how I always loathed scones in my younger years (because ew: dry/gritty/not so good mouth feel) until I found THIS recipe.

The most perfectly crusted outside and cakey, sort-of moist insides make for a lovely breakfast, coffee friend or midnight desperation snack. <
