I love trifles. Those layers of fruit, cake, whipped cream, pastry cream...whatever you want to add, really. They're so pretty, so fresh, so downright delicious. And the awesomeness factor is increased exponentially when you make miniature trifles.

Just in time for spring, I'm delighted to share the Mother's Day celebration I created for Yum! Food and Fun For Kids magazine's latest issue, available on your news stands now. (Unless you live in Arizona, evidently, because I can't find a physical copy anywhere!)
This easy scones recipe makes the most delicious, buttery, tender, classic scones. These are scones made with yogurt or sour cream rather than cream (and yes, even fat free yogurt works), and they're quick to make--just about 30 minutes from the first step until they're on your plate!
When I was a kid, I was an Irish step dancer, and I absolutely loved it. I took every class under the sun--drawing, horseback riding, flute, violin, piano, ballet, tap, modern dance, tennis, ice skating... you get the point. And I loved doing it all, really! But Irish dancing is the one thing that really stuck with me, and that I absolutely love to this day. A night at a ceili (Irish social dance) sounds like my idea of perfection. When I enrolled my oldest daughter in Irish dancing lessons, the most important thing to me was that she love it, too.
