Tequila Lime Coconut Fudge

So this happened the same day as my Lime Coconut Rice Krispie Treats with Tequila.  I figured while I had the bottle of tequila out, I'd make good use of it. I did take a few sips of it and hoowee that stuff was strong.  Don't worry, although you do taste the tequila in the finished product, it's balanced with the sweetness of white chocolate and citrus flavor of the limes.  There is no burning sensation as you eat it, only an "OMG this is delicious" moment.

Lime Coconut Rice Krispie Treats with Tequila

I don't know about you, but the month of May is busy for me.  With my mom's birthday, Mother's Day, and my husband's birthday I have been doing a lot of running around.  And last week I took the week off to try to get stuff done around the house.  The beginning of the week we had some nice weather, but then came the cold rain and wind.  So in an effort to cheer myself up and think of the summer ahead, I made these.

Mini Maple Strawberry Chocolate Chip Scones

I ended up making these for Sunday morning brunch at my mom's on Mother's Day.  They were quick and easy to make, but the night I made them was a disaster.  I was finishing up my second batch of scones, so I had my husband put the kids in the tub, thinking I would be giving them a bath in a few minutes.  Wrong!  I went to get a glass of water from the fridge dispenser when I heard a noise and then looked down to the pool of water that was coming out from under the fridge.  Not good.
