Alana A few of the nursing ladies and I have been getting together lately for potluck breakfasts. Last time I decided scones would be a good idea, and because we were just at the tail-end of fall (it snowed yesterday – sad face), pumpkin would be the perfect flavour!

Alana This post is unfortunately very late! Before winter semester ended (in April), my friend Theresa suggested we have a bake day before our mental health semester started (at the beginning of May).

BLUEBERRY MUFFINS Roopa This really was the byproduct of having an overabundance of blueberries in my house, some of which were getting a touch sketchy. You know that ‘not good to eat but not actually going bad yet’ stage? They were there. Something needed to be done. That something was blueberry muffins. I adapted this recipe here, … More Blueberry Muffins
