Swedish Meatballs

Apparently, going to Ikea for Swedish Meatballs is a thing. I didn’t know it was a thing until I went to Ikea this week.  I mean, I’ve been to Ikea before, but I’ve never dined in their food court until now.  You should’ve seen the line up of people waiting to order their Swedish meatballs.… Continue reading Swedish Meatballs

Copycat Fisher Fair Scones

Oh, Fisher Fair scones, I love to enjoy your warm, gooey, butter and jam goodness at the fair every year, but I just can’t stomach paying $4.99 for a box of  your scone mix when I know it is made out of ingredients I already have in my house. If you’ve never had  Fisher Scone… Continue reading Copycat Fisher Fair Scones
