I'm here in the US at the moment and I'll having my first Superbowl Sunday. I'm very excited, especially for the food :)

I've tried both your white bean dip and the baby shortbread bites - both absolutely delicious! I just baked shortbread bites last weekend - and saved half in the freezer for later. You were so right that they freeze wonderfully! I'm going to have to try those scones and the apple blueberry crumble bars next. They look fantastic! Have you ever tried freezing the scones of the crumble bars for later?

Hi Mrs. B. Thrift,
Thanks for taking the time to come back and let us know you liked the cake! I do love that recipe. I've been making it for years, but I often forget about it - which just might be a good thing. ; )Hi Kristi,
I'm so glad you're having delicious success with my recipes. As far as freezing goes, I toss pretty much all my baked goods in the freezer, including scones and the blueberry crumble bars. It's so handy to have them on hand, and they both freeze beautifully.I either cut up the bars and wrap them individually in plastic, then put them all in a freezer zipper bag, or sometimes I simply put the entire baking pan in the freezer (I have some with snap-on lids, which are so handy). The scones are simply tossed in a freezer zipper bag.
Let the bars defrost at room temperature, or gently microwave them if you're in a hurry. I like to heat scones in my beloved little Oster Convection Toaster Oven (which I use at least once a day). No need to defrost, just wrap the scone(s) in foil and heat for about 10 minutes at 350° or until warm. I like to unwrap them and then let them heat up for a few minutes more, so they get nice and crunchy on the outside. Sometimes I slice the heated scones in half, dot with butter, and put them back in the toaster oven for a couple of minutes to let the butter melt. Heaven. : )

OMG, I made the Swiss Chard pizza last night. Delish!! I used olives instead of artichokes b/c that's what I had. Even my husband who's getting tired of Swiss Chard and Kale loved it.
The 2 of us ate the entire pizza! I'd be feeling virtuous except for the cheese!
