    I'm Kathy Lloyd. I grew up on a farm near Elmore, MN and have lived in Fairmont for over 44 years. I have always loved to cook, even when I was very young. I loved to stay with my Aunt Dorothy during my childhood. She was a great cook and used to give me freedom in the kitchen, teaching me along the way. She made recipes from our Norwegian heritage, along with pies, homemade doughnuts, yeast bread and cinnamon rolls. 

    Marrying a husband with a hearty appetite and raising 3 sons and 1 daughter gave me plenty of hungry appetites to satisfy! I worked as a nurse for 42 years and have been retired for 11 years. Even though I loved my work, I love having time to spend with my grandchildren, to experiment with new recipes and work with my flowers in the summer. Life has been very good to me, blessing me with my loving family and great friends!

    I enjoy sharing my love of cooking and recipes with the readers of the Photo Press! (I have had my share of cooking failures over the years!)

An Invitation for a 5:00am Royal Wedding Veiwing???

5/23/2018

 
That’s right I received a invitation to attend a Royal wedding viewing at 5:00 am for Harry and Meghan! I couldn’t even read street signs at that time of the morning! Elayne Hestad hosted a brunch for a group of her friends (approx. 14 of us) at that ungodly hour! Everyone rose to the occasion wearing their Sunday best complete with hats and gloves! I didn’t see any wedding dresses however. Elayne out did herself, as you can see her buffet table was beautiful and truly fit for a prince and princess. We were served mimosas along with tea and coffee, two kinds of scones with lemon curd, raspberry jelly and Devonshire cream, blueberry and raspberry with a lemon sauce parfaits, little spinach quiches, along with assorted tea type delicious cookies or as the British would say  biscuits. Then settled around the telly to watch the festivities. It was a lovely time and a beautiful wedding! Lucky for you Elayne shared her recipe for her cranberry scones which melted in your mouth. Thanks Elayne for a memorable morning!
 
Cranberry Scones
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 cup butter, chilled and diced
1 cup fresh cranberries, roughly chopped
1/3 cup white sugar
1 grated zest of one orange
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cup half and half cream
1 egg

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar,baking powder, nutmeg and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, toss cranberries with sugar, add to flour mixture along with orange peel and nuts. Mix lightly.
In a another bowl beat together cream and egg; slowly pour into dry ingredients, mixing with a rubber scraper until dough forms. Knead 4 or 5 times, being careful not to over handle. Divide dough in half. Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Shape each half into a 6 inch circle, cut each circle into 6 wedges. Place scones on lightly greased baking sheets or parchment lined sheets. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown about 20 minutes.  Enjoy!
Last week in the pancake ingredients 2 eggs were omitted. Have a great week!
