These baked Blueberry Scones are glazed with a cinnamon-sugar topping, and they melt in your mouth. Perfect for breakfast or just as a snack. They can be served with (or dipped in) a little hot cocoa on a cold day, or with your favorite morning beverage.

The key is to use frozen blueberries.

Do you have a favorite seasoning? or a favorite spice? One that you find yourself using all the time… on all kinds of foods?

I do.

And this is it.

Cavenders, Greek Seasoning. I love the stuff.

It seasons all manner of meat, poultry, and fish around here. It goes on pastas sometimes. In lasagna. On vegetables. And in many other applications.

I guess I just like the flavor it produces.

Around here its kind of hard to find though. Not all grocery stores carry it. I’m not sure why. I have seen it at Smiths though, so if you want some, try there. (Or, there’s always online ordering)

I’m not sure how my love for Cavenders began, probably in my mom’s kitchen. But I always have some on hand now.

Don’t be surprised if you see this seasoning pop up from time to time in recipes on this blog. I can’t help it.

What’s your favorite seasoning or spice? Have you ever tried Cavenders?? What do you think of it?
Leave me a comment, let me know. I’d offer a giveaway of a shaker of my favorite seasoning to the author of a randomly selected comment, but I don’t think this site has enough traffic for that yet. Hm. Drop me a note anyway, I’m curious to see what favorites you all have…. I like to try new things. And maybe in a couple of months we’ll try a real giveaway.

Happy cooking everyone!

Welcome to The Slotted Spoon!

This blog was created as a home for recipes I create, modify, or otherwise collect. In the past I would pretty regularly post recipes on my personal blog, but found that the general category “food” was too vague for the items being posted. I wanted to expand, have my recipes centrally located, and be able to have categories for all types of food.

Eventually I’d love to publish a cookbook. I see that being a year or so out still though.

The name “The slotted spoon” came for the Broadway Musical, Into the Woods, by Sondheim. It has long been one of my favorite musicals and was quickly referenced when thinking of a title for this blog.

Over the coming weeks I plan to first, migrate existing recipes from my personal blog, and then begin to introduce new recipes. Hopefully it won’t be long before you are able to find all manner of delectable goodies here. Thanks for visiting!
