Vegan Gingerbread Scones

Happy Hanukkah!

With Christmas coming soon (don't forget to enter the Leading Lady giveaway, for a gift for yourself!), I had to get this post up as soon as I could so that maybe someone could enjoy this holiday goodness before "the season" ends.

I found THIS recipe on Happy Herbivore and decided to make it for Sunday brunch.  The recipe came together very quickly (I mixed the dry ingredients the night before!)... the meal was ready in 20 minutes!


Fresh out of the oven.


Enjoyed with a Numi tea sample that I received at Foodbuzz Festival (it was a soothing, somewhat sweet, and light tea).


"The Ukrainian" likes eating fresh tomatoes with salt and pepper at breakfast, and I have caught on to this.  It adds some freshness to otherwise heavy breakfast foods!

I used some Earth Balance spread on the warm scones.  I didn't buy, or force "The Ukrainian" to buy, it... he says he naturally likes the way it tastes.  Yay!


I screwed up a bit on this recipe, as I had taken a screen-cap of it on my tiny phone... so my bad eyes misread things.  I ended up putting 1 instead of 4 tbsp of maple syrup, and I also somehow neglected half a teaspoon of nutmeg. *sad face*  It still came out tasting good, though I'm sure those things would have made it even better. 

Since I don't have much longer to legitimately (haha!) enjoy "holiday" scones, I will probably revert back to more "everyday" scones, like THIS one I made previously.  Overall, they are quick and somewhat healthy additions to a nice breakfast at home.

    My dad eats tomato slices like that too. I love tomato, but haven't really caught on to it. I prefer it in a salad or a taco/sandwich topping.

    I could not get scones out of my brain during today's run. Gingerbread scones sound delicious, so do you banana date ones. Guess I know what I am doing tomorrow. Thanks!

I think it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.  I was a sprint/track

Sharkies Prize Pack (giveaway)

It's giveaway time! On a long run recently, I took a couple packs of Sharkies Organic Sports Chews  with me to keep me going on a hot day.  I got through those 15 miles  eating these, versus normal gels.  I've been opting to eat chews over gels in my running nowadays because I just find them more palatable and easier on my stomach for some reason.  Plus, they do pack a few more calories, which is a good thing in this case. I normally associate cute little chews with candy, but these actually contain natural electrolytes.  Plus, they were light to carry and very tasty, too!  Each pack is about 140 calories.  The only downside I found to the sport chews is that they stuck to my teeth a tiny bit more than my normal choices, and the packaging gave me a fight at times.  This could easily be solved by conslidating them into a baggie pre-run, or eating them BEFORE running would be much easier than during. Want to win the prize pack below?  It comes with these Sport Chews, a neat

Rebecca Michaels Performance Clothing (Giveaway)

UPDATE: 6/21/12 -- This giveaway is closed, and the winner is #43, Jacqueline!!  I will contact you, but if you miss it, please e-mail me! ------ I'd like to credit in advance "The Ukrainian" who helped me stage some photos for this post. =) Perhaps because I don't dress well when working out, I was offered the opportunity to try some fun pieces from the Rebecca Michaels summer collection. Since I complained about my issues with headbands staying on my head, I also got to try their Violet Love headbands.  "The Ukrainian" didn't hesitate in throwing one on, and I think he said he looks like Rambo in it. Anyway, I'll start with my experience with the headbands .  They are very soft and actually look SUPER cute on!  They also cover a large portion of the top of your head, so those little fly-aways don't come drooping down.  Or is that just me?  My hair is normally cut in layers, so I do experience this quite a bit.
