Mix together all purpose flour, wheat flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and lemon zest. Cut up the 3 Tbsp. of butter into very small cubes; add to the mixture. Mix with a fork until the mixture looks clumpy. Add olive oil and milk; mix well. Fold in the blueberries.
Set the dough on a floured surface and press the dough until about 1" thick. Using a circle cookie cutter (or a glass) cut out 12 scones and place them on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Hello Bloggers!

Hello All!

I've decided to start this blog to share with all of you my love for healthy, clean eating. I've been creating recipes over the past few months and came up with a few great ones so far...(in my own humble and personal opinion of course:-) ) I would like to share these recipes with all of you and get some feedback, as my goal is to someday write a cookbook dedicated to healthy, DELICIOUS recipes to help all of us start living a healthier life :-)

P.S. These recipes will NOT keep you in the kitchen all day. Nobody wants to slave over a hot stove all day....nor do I, when I could be spending that time with my one year old daughter :-)
