Banana Strawberry Scone

This summer Luke is packing up for a month and heading to South America.  My soon to be 11yr old boy is about to take on the adventure of a lifetime and I'm ready to throw up.  When Josilin was his age she participated in the same program and spent a month in  Denmark.  Somehow we always knew she would get on a plane and head to far off places.  She was born to travel, including her first trip under the age of two when she proudly boarded a plane with Don and didn't even look back at her teary mom left behind.  But Luke?  He's my home body.  My mama's boy. The one who watched Josilin board that plane to Denmark just two short years ago and stated, "don't ever think about signing me up to do something like that!"

Strawberry Gazpacho

We have been enjoying our fair share of fresh Ontario strawberries from our favourite farm.  Bowlfuls of juicy red berries and many batches of freezer jam have been made.  I've got a real love of savoury ingredients in my desserts which led me to think about something sweet in a savoury dish.  We enjoyed this cold soup on a hot evening with a strawberry and leek grilled cheese.
