Blueberry Scones
July is national blueberry month, so I’m celebrating accordingly, with this incredible scone recipe. Blueberries are one fruit that I almost always prefer to eat fresh. I love their bright, juicy tartness, and somehow, they don’t always seem to retain that fresh flavor when baked. But this scone is different. Rather than being lost in…

Just Beachy
Well, I was right. Florida is extremely humid, and no amount of conditioner can make up for the effect it’s having on my hair. But the abundant palm trees and gorgeous beaches certainly do! Just the other night we went to see sunset on the boardwalk, and though it didn’t cool down a bit, the…

No Knead Artisan Bread
There is something about baking bread that is addictive. Maybe it’s the way that a rough hodgepodge of flour and water becomes a smooth, elastic ball of dough. Maybe it’s the vigorous kneading, the anticipation of watching the dough double and triple in size as a result. Or maybe it’s knowing that you’ve created one…

Strawberry Buttermilk Scones
No matter how big the box, whenever we have fresh strawberries in the house, they’re usually gone within a day. This time though, I set some strawberries aside to use in a recipe for scones that I’d bookmarked a couple of weeks back. Using the sweet, juicy strawberries, I made the scones over the weekend…

2 Year Anniversary
Two years ago, on May 7th, I began Retrolillies. I wanted to create a place where I could indulge in food, fashion and photography, but I never imagined that I would actually have and maintain a blog for two years! Since then, I’ve learned a lot (like, for example, that flash-illuminated pictures are really unflattering)…
