Today is my 40th birthday!!! Who thought I would end up being excited to turn 40? Age has never meant a thing to me. I have friends of all ages and I have found sometimes the young ones are more mature than the old ones and vice versa. So I could care less what age I am. I am excited however to party with my friends tonight! An excuse to dance the night away with people I adore... bring on 40!
I recently went to Teavana. It has become a regular occurrence. Their Chai tea is so good. I found myself dropping $52 to get a container of it. It is worth every penny. The flavors dance in my mouth. I was drinking a tall glass of it the other day and it got me thinking that a scone would go great with the tea. Then the thought of a Chai latte scone would be amazing! I was right. This is my new favorite scone. Made with almond flour for added nutrients. Since it is a treat, I wanted to add some health to it also. These scones are full of Chai flavor. Perfect for a special breakfast, afternoon tea, or dessert after dinner. If you have someone over for tea or coffee, make these babies. You won't be sorry.
