1 Packet of Onion Soup Mix

I hate spending money on packets of onion soup mix. So I found a recipe to make my own!!

2 1/2 tablespoons dried onion 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper 4 cubes beef bouillon, crumbled 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon onion powder Store in airtight container. This makes one envelope of soup mix.

Blueberry Oat Scones

Misty the little tree hugger, found this cool site weelicious.com and it's got some pretty fun recipes for kids. I tried this one and it was pretty good. I'd even make it again.

Blueberry Oat Scones (Makes 10 ice cream scooper sized scones)‬

2 Cups All Purpose Flour
1 Cup Quick Oats (I used regular oats)
4 Tbsp Sugar
2 Tsp Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp Salt
1/2 Cup Butter (I used margarine)
3/4 Cup Buttermilk (3/4 cup milk plus 1 tsp vinegar, microwave for 1 min=buttermilk)
1 Egg
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Cup Blueberries (I used freeze dried blueberries and just put them in the buttermilk to hydrate)

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the first 5 ingredients until combined.
3. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, rub the butter into the flour/oat mixture until is resembles coarse meal.
4. Whisk the buttermilk, egg and vanilla in a separate bowl.
5. Pour the buttermilk mixture over the flour/oat mixture and using a fork, stir until combined.
6. Stir in the blueberries until just combined.
7. Scoop out about 2 tbsp of the batter per scone onto a Silpat or parchment lined baking sheet (I like using an ice cream scooper for this.)
8. Bake for 20 minutes.
9. Serve.
