Raspberry Oat Scones + A Teensie Little Announcement

My loves…so many of you have been with me since the very beginning – and not just the beginning of Forkin’ Healthy but the very beginning nearly 7 years ago when I started my food blog, CB&J. A lot has happened over that time including a marriage, a new job, a move to San Diego, a new very old home that needs lots of work, nutrition school which was followed by ceremoniously quitting my day job to create Forkin’ Healthy – just to name a few.

Let’s just say it’s been one hell of a journey.

And I don’t regret one single second of it. And you know why?

Because it got me right where I am right now. And it also gave me the scones you are you eye-balling – but more on those a little later.

So where am I right now? Probably not where you might think.

I am and always have been a graphic artist – ever since high school when I spent a Summer at yearbook camp followed by several years of designing for magazines, print shops, casinos, night clubs, strip clubs, restaurants, and many others. So when it came time to create the branding for my own business – I hired myself.

The branding and design work I created for Forkin’ Healthy has unexpectedly opened me up to a creative world that I didn’t know existed for me. A world of working with other women entrepreneurs to design beautiful brands for them so they can be out in the world doing their life’s work. It has been fun and fulfilling!

But don’t worry – Forkin’ Healthy is NOT going away – in fact you are going to get WAY more of what you want – food that is healthy, delicious and fun to make because that is also who I am and what I love.

In addition, I am also creating sparkly and glowing brands for my fellow boss ladies – if you are that woman shoot me an email and let’s chat.

Whew – that feels so much better! Thanks for sticking with me on this one. It means so much to have your love and support.

If that’s not your cup of tea – then there are always these scones. Which would, in fact, go great with a cup of tea.

½ cup (1 stick) butter (remember the colder the better for scones!)
