Bacon Blueberry Scone for One

Bacon Blueberry Scone for One || HeathersDish.com

So I know Friday I was waxing poetic about how we should embrace simple flavors without going overboard on new things and so on…but y’all, I really just could not help myself.  I have a whole lot of amazing (and when I say amazing I mean A-MAH-ZING) Petit Jean bacon in my fridge just begging to be eaten, and a bag of dried blueberries in my pantry.

 

Oh, and did I mention a huge craving for scones?   Yeah, that too 😉

Basically I took my scone for one recipe and added the ultimate salty-sweet combo mix-ins and wished I’d made like 85 of them instead.  Granted you have to prep the bacon beforehand, so you know I could just multiply the recipe and make a bunch, but I’ve found that portion control only works in my house when you severely limit the number of items to be eaten.

 

BEFORE the eating begins.  Trust me with this.

So here we are, starting the week off with a big scone packed with salty smokey bacon and plump (after they’re baked) sweet blueberries and a big smile on our faces because life is good and so are scones.  I think the best way to jump-start a day would ideally be with a huge one of these babies and a big cup of coffee – and friends?  That’s totally what I plan on doing.

 

Let’s hang out and get this week started, mmmmK? 🙂

BACON BLUEBERRY SCONE FOR ONE

Based off of my original scone for one recipe

  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 Tbsp cold butter, cut into small cubes
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp milk (I used nonfat)
  • 1 Tbsp chopped bacon
  • 1 Tbsp dried blueberries (note: you can use fresh, but the dried yield a better consistency in the final product)

Preheat oven to 450.  In a food processor combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.  Pulse the butter into the dry ingredients until it breaks up and resembles crumbs.  Add the milk and pulse slightly until the dough starts to come away from the edges.  Remove the blade (carefully!!!) and stir in the chopped bacon and blueberries.  Remove the dough from the processor and shape into a circle, patting it to about 1/2 inch in thickness.  Bake at 450 on a Silpat or a piece of parchment paper for 9-12 minutes until golden brown.  Let cool slightly before digging in!

    What a great idea for a scone! The fact that you’ve made it “for one” is even better – it gets rid of that craving, but there aren’t any leftovers to tempt me! 😉

    YUM! I’ve never baked scones even though I love them because they always seemed like something I’d screw up, but using a food processor seems like such a great way to do it (total “duh” moment). And the bacon&blueberries combo?! You just made my day!

      It’s SUPER EASY in a food processor! The key is to just keep the butter cold right up til you use it – foolproof!

    I love this! With it being just me and my hubby around the house most of the time, it’s fun to have some smaller batch recipes on hand.

Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! 

As we move into goal setting for the new year, may I suggest starting with your physical health? Not to fit the bikini body mold that society normalizes, but to actually BE as healthy as possible. When everything hit the fan for me this year I dug into two things that have been integral to creating positive growth and a healthier mindset: 

1️⃣ my relationship with God
2️⃣ my physical health

What that’s looked like for me on the health front: holding fast to my commitment to whole food nutrition, grace for the days when I choose otherwise, pushing myself to lift heavier in workouts, and taking up running again. 

What’s happened as a result? When I push myself physically, when I choose to practice discipline to do what I know is best for my body, it makes it infinitely easier to choose that same healthy discipline in every other area of life. You want to dominate your goals? Start with your health!
Remember when I blogged about food? 😂 Gosh the Remember when I blogged about  food? 😂 Gosh the past few months have been nuts. I’m still over here figuring out how to eat well without sacrificing my life in the kitchen, and this is a bowl I couldn’t NOT share with y’all. The best thing is that everything is almost always on hand in my fridge, it’s packed with nutrition, and tastes AMAZING!

In the bowl:
-rice mixed with Trader Joe’s Zhoug sauce
-broiled shredded Brussels sprouts
-chickpeas
-baby  arugula
-grilled chicken breast
-Romesco sauce (from Trader  Joe’s but I usually make my own)
-a little  tzaziki sauce

This meal has been on repeat all week, only changing the rice for riced cauliflower and omitting the chickpeas on low carb days. YUM! I find that if I have a variety of roasted veggies, grilled chicken, and a few different sauces on hand I can almost always come up with a great bowl for almost any meal!
It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday y’all! Almost 4 years ago I took a leap of faith and said yes to this job in an effort to create another stream of revenue. I had NO CLUE that it would change my life for the better in almost every way, that it would reignite my passion for health and community, that it would provide in so many beautiful ways. But it has, and I am so thankful to all of you who have trusted me and supported me along the way. 

When you shop with a small business you are literally a hero in their eyes, validating and supporting and protecting them. You guys are my heroes, and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day: 3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day:

1️⃣ SMILE! Even if you don’t feel like it, smiling (even forcing it to the point of feeling weird) has actually been scientifically proven to improve mood, lower stress, and boost your immune system. I actually recommend doing it awkwardly around other people because it’ll make them smile too 😉

2️⃣ GRATITUDE! Right now, before you talk yourself out of it, say or write 3 things you’re thankful for. Big, small, or in between. In this moment I’m going to say sticky notes, my Le Creuset Dutch Oven, and the Hamilton soundtrack. BOOM!

3️⃣MOVE! Get up off your tush, right now, and move your body. Walk around your house, do some jumping jacks, lock yourself in the bathroom and do a little dance, whatever. This isn’t about looking cool, it’s about giving yourself a better day. 

Things are hard, ambiguity and uncertainty isn’t fun, but we can control ONE THING: ourselves. Praying that you choose to gift yourself a little bit of happiness today! 

Now, tell me below, what’s one thing you’re thankful for RIGHT NOW?
