Strawberry Almond Scone Recipe
Today, we’re sharing a strawberry almond scone recipe that is so simple to make they’re perfect for a lazy weekend, a Sunday brunch or a special celebration like Valentine’s Day.
Lazy weekends are hands down our favorite way to spend a weekend and we know so many of you feel the same way too. While they’re not as frequent as we would all like due to busy schedules, work obligations and family commitments, it feels like the biggest indulgence when we’re able to take full advantage of a lazy weekend.
For the past year, we’ve been keeping Sunday’s sacred and I can’t even tell you how much of a difference it makes in the way our week runs. Sometimes we have to really fight for Sundays which means planning in advance, turning down Sunday afternoon events, or arriving home early from a trip in order to carve out a sacred Sunday. It’s always worth it in the end though because we feel relaxed, refreshed and ready to face the week.
More times than not, we kick off the weekend on Thursday by making sure the house has been picked up, the pantry and the refrigerator have been full stocked with easy meal ingredients for the week, and we understand our schedules completely.
It does take a bit of extra work Monday thru Wednesday in order to make it happen. By starting our weekends on Thursday though, we’re able to snuggle in for a movie and pizza on Friday, complete DIY projects or meet up with friends and family for fun adventures on Saturday while still keeping Sundays sacred.
It honestly, feels like a three-day weekend whenever we’re able to pull it off!
Part of what makes weekends like this work, is having quick and easy meals to make, including breakfast. These strawberry almond scones don’t take very long to make at all yet they’re festive enough to add a little bit of fancy to any weekend, lazy or not.

We like to eat these scones warm, with coffee and on vintage china. It’s such a simple way to dress up breakfast on the weekends and doesn’t take any extra time at all, you know?
