You’re not going to believe this…well, okay, actually you probably will… I have a new pumpkin recipe for you!

Just for fun, a good friend of mine and I are starting weekly blogging bake-off (of healthy, real food treats). It’ll be Kristine in between versus My Nourished Home, and this is the first post in that series! Every week, we will pick a topic (or wait, maybe you guys should suggest topics?! Yes, yes that’d be fun!) and we will bake our own versions, then we’ll link up and share the recipes with you!

I’ve only made scones once in my whole life, so I was more than a little nervous about how this would all play out. But let me assure you, these pumpkin spice scones and the maple cream cheese drizzle will knock your socks off! And guess what? They are ready in less than half an hour! I’m ashamed to admit this, but I made them twice yesterday…once in the morning and once after dinner! They’re thaaaat good!
