Blueberry Scones

Everyone in my family, minus me, LOVES breakfast. Almost every weekend, something new and delicious is made. Don’t get me wrong, I love trying new recipes, and enjoy just about everything we make, but breakfast just doesn’t excite me. I could very easily have a yogurt or something small, and be just as content as if I had had a huge home cooked meal. Weird right? Anyways, last weekend, my hubby wanted something with blueberries in it and decided to make a new version of scones. Yes, you read that right, my hubby was the chef that morning and made the family scones. These were amazing! Seriously, I definitely enjoyed these and if they were around each morning, I would for sure be a breakfast fan. Moist, fluffy, not too sweet, and full of juicy blueberries! If you love blueberries and/or scones, this is a must try!!
