Strawberry Roll-up Scones
This is one of my favorite things to make Bryan on the morning of Valentines day. Even if you're not a fan of this holiday, get all your friends together and throw a boozy brunch and make these! I wish I could type more about how much I love Valentines day and what our plans are, but my wrist is killing me from my recent surgery and I have to save my energy for typing out the recipe for you guys!
