Favorite Recipe of the Month - Cranberry Tangerine Relish with Scones


Cranberry Tangerine Relish with SconesThis month I have two recipes to share. One is a family recipe - created by my mother. The other is one I recently discovered from a line of gluten free mixes made locally a company called Laurel's Sweet Treats. This month I tried her Delightful Scone Mix. She has a variation on the label for Cranberry Orange Scones. This variation paired well with my mother's amazing Cranberry - Tangerine Relish. This combination would be perfect at any time of year but seems especially festive for the holiday season.
Beverage suggestion: I like these tasty treats with a cup (or 3) of steaming hot tea. This month I'm drinking Orange Spice by Stash Tea.

Positive Thoughts to Ponder

Time for Home

Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand
and for a talk beside the fire: It is the time for home. - Dame Edith Sitwell

Here come the holidays!

Greetings from OneMark Creations! 

We have created a special tea cozy to take us right through the holiday season. Right now we are using it with the beautiful maples leaves on the outside, once we've celebrated that last bit of Thanksgiving pie - we'll reverse it to show off the festive poinsettias.  This special cozy is available in three sizes though the holidays.

The air is crisp and the leaves have taken on the colors of fall - soon all those holiday invitations will fill the mailbox or the inbox. I know I'm thinking about what I'll take to those get-togethers with family and friends.  Do I take the same appetizer I've taken for years or do I spice it up a little?

My solution? Jalapeno Poppers - a tasty appetizer that nearly everyone loves and one that we don't usually make at home. Check out the recipe, I've even included a "cool" option for those who don't appreciate hot & spicy flavors. Add a little grated parmesan cheese on top - it's an amazing flavor. Try out the recipe and let me know how you (and your guests) liked it.
