Meryl’s Amazing Chocolate Chip Scones
We super lucked out when Meryl decided to volunteer with us in the Stanislaus National Forest in 2015. Not only did she kick out some funny signs for the nursery we were rehabbing, but she used her extraordinary baking skills (we’re talking former Sous Chef at Bouchon Bakery, people!) to rehab us with some amazingly delicious chocolate chip scones for breakfast.
