There's nothing more wonderful than getting up in the morning watching the sun come up and having blueberry with little pieces of bacon that gives you saltiness and then the sweetness of the scones and coffee. 


                      


Most people think that making scones is difficult. But this recipe is very easy. I got it from my very good friend Eileen, so I'll call them the Eileen Scones 
-2 cups of all purpose flower
-2 tspns baking powder
-1/2 tspn of salt
-1/3 cup of sugar
-1 1/2cup of whipping cream
- a pound of  fresh blueberries
You combine all the dry ingedients, stir in the whipping cream and start to form a ball with your dough. After your dough is all pulled together, you start to kneed it into a ball, not too much, just enough to get a nice firm ball. Then start to roll it out and cut out in triangular squares. This recipe will make eight of them. Then place the blueberries in the scones. Melt a tbspoon of butter and brush it in the scones. Bake it 350 for 17 minutes. 




A good way to prepare your bacon is to put it in the oven and let it cook very slow while you're preparing the rest of your breakfast. I call it No Mess Bacon

Sometimes for dinner you want to go light, but not too light. This I find a very healthy but somewhat light dinner. The ingredients are:


-1 pound of shrimp
-1/2 pound  baby fresh spinach
-1/2 pound fresh sliced mushrooms
-1 red pepper

Marinate the shrimp and garlic and a very good olive oil and a little seasalt and pepper. Let that set for 20 minutes while you prepare the pasta and chop the mushrooms and the red pepper. Saute the red pepper, mushroom and then put in the shrimp and the pour over the cooked pasta and finally the hot spinach, which will cook over the pasta. And voila, here we have Ana's Pasta Dish
