Nestled deep in our local park -- which is more like a local forest -- is a charming little food shack which sells some of the most enticing baked goods you've ever tried. It's usually packed with an assortment of families, hikers and locals looking to relax and enjoy a light bite before hitting the trails or the playground. We've been going to this place since Kenya was a baby and he and his sister light up anytime they know we're headed there.
The word "shack" may conjure up the wrong image of this place, but I can't think of a better name for it. Regardless, it's totally charming and with pretty much anything I eat there I wonder, "what do they put in this to make it taste so good?" My kids particularly love their scones. Whenever they see these fresh, gorgeous, crumbly pastries stacked up neatly in the window, they get so excited that words seem to fail them.
With Valentine's Day fast approaching, I thought it would be fun to make heart-shaped, dried cherry scones with the kids. This is a great recipe to cook with your little ones. Mine love mixing the ingredients together with their little hands, shaping the dough into a big circle and then using a cookie cutter to press out hearts.
While Kenya and Chloe still love going for scones at our special shack in the woods, they majorly approved of our homemade version. I guarantee there will be a lot of love in the air at your house too when these come out of the oven!
