I posted these scones long ago when I first started my
Instagram account, and when I came across the photos in my computer last week, I remembered how delicious these scones were and just had to share the recipe.
I used to make a lot of treats like these when I first went vegan, and I really enjoyed (and still do enjoy) baking. I was living in a dorm room in Davis at the time, so weekends in Berkeley with my brother at his apartment were the only times that I was actually able to cook and bake in a comfortable kitchen. The dorms had a community kitchen, but it wasn't the same. When cooking and baking with a time constraint and, more often than not, in a kitchen full of people I did not even know, I wasn't able to
get in the zone if you feel me.
I have realized that cooking is very therapeutic for me, and if any of my readers have not spent time, alone, in the kitchen for a few hours on a saturday afternoon, I suggest you do so. It doesn't matter if you're a professional or amateur, the satisfaction of being able to create and enjoy something YOURSELF is an experience that never gets old. Use the time to mute out all of the stress and commotion in your life at the current moment and relax.
This morning I woke up energized and awake, in a way that I have not been in a long while. This passed weekend for me was one of revitalization and rejuvenation. I took time for myself, to connect with my thoughts, emotions, body, and inner being. Too often do I forget that my health is all encompassing of every aspect in my life, not just my physical well-being. Remembering this fact, and becoming more aware of it, has allowed for me to definitely live my life in an improved way, filled with greater appreciation and awareness.
One thing that I dislike about the holidays is all the stress I come under when it comes down to the cooking. I always try to plan ahead but, well, things don't always go as planned. I decided that this year I would make simple, easy vegetable dishes that I could share with those of you in the same shoes.
Brussels sprouts always get a bad rep for being stinky and bitter, but that's because your mamas were cooking them wrong for you as a kid. This recipe will make you appreciate these little gems and hopefully share them with your family during the holidays.
