My BooBoo...You're Gain Quick Giveaway...Chocolate Cinnamon Scones for Cinco De Mayo


Okay...tell me you've never done this, but...in a hurry...on my way out of the grocery isles into a checkstand was a basket of teas...and I love Tazo Chai...so grabbed it, bought my groceries...and got home to find that it's a box of Keurig K cups...and I don't have a Keurig!

So...a giveaway...if you have a Keurig, are in the US, love Chai...or would like to try this...please leave a comment and I will do a random draw on Friday May 6th at the end of the day. As I said...My BooBoo is your gain!





And for Cinco De Mayo...I found a great Cinnamon Chocolate scone recipe I am going to make this weekend....from McCormick Spices...
