Baby, it’s cold outside!  About 8″ of fresh snow is lying peacefully across my yard and the temperature is 0 degrees! Soup and a few dozen cups of tea are a priority today!

This soup is loaded with the goodness of leeks which have been shown to help improve digestion, combat heart disease, reduce inflammation, and even help fight against cancer.

It comes together rather quickly and is just as good on days 2 and 3 as it is on day 1!

ENJOY!

My husband and I own a business, and we had a client based in the U.K. for several years. One of my fondest memories of our time spent there was afternoon tea. I have tried for years to perfect a vegan version and think I finally have a recipe worth sharing.

There is a vast difference between salted vs. unsalted butter and I  would highly recommend using Miyoko’s Unsalted Butter. I have used Earth Balance and they are good but there is something special about Miyoko’s variety when making these cookies.

I ordered a special shortbread cookie cutter, available here. However, you can use any cookie cutter or simply roll the dough into a rectangle and cut it into slices after baking. If you do use the cookie cutter, the dough can tend to stick into the crevices. I would advise lightly tapping the cutter on the counter to release the cookie from the cutter.

I also recommend using parchment sheets that are available through Amazon.

There is also a fantastic deal on stand mixers through Walmart, called Beautiful by Drew Barrymore. The motor is almost as powerful as the Kitchen Aid but the Beautiful version is so lighter and much easier to lift in and out of the cupboard. Plus, now priced at $99 it is $200+ less expensive than the Kitchen Aid brand.

Those of you that consistently follow my blog must think I have a scone addition. Truth is, I love them! I continually try to experiment with new ingredients. I f you try one of my scone recipes, please let it be this one.

This are fluffier than traditional scones plus have more of a cake texture. They are not at all dry and super easy to prepare.

Most scone recipes recommend that you form into a circle and then cut into pie-like pieces. But what the heck, just drop them on a baking sheet and you are good to go!

ENJOY!
