SCONES MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER.
I never cease to be inspired by the food photography on this blog. Truly! Julie makes the most amazing food and takes the most beautiful pictures - and her recent recipe for Vegan Blood Orange//Chocolate Chip Scones was no exception. BUT - it wasn't the gorgeous images of juicy citrus and steaming cups of coffee that urged me to make my own scones. It was the words accompanying the post - about living a life in limbo, about getting in a February funk, about the terrible sadness and stress that can come with waiting. Jesse and I can so relate to her feelings of limbo. It can be difficult to really feel joy and peace in your life when you are waiting for a big change, for a big a move, for something. I love that Julie's response to the chaos and madness during a time like this is FOOD. The kitchen. Slowing down and being still and gathering your family.And so, in solidarity with Julie, I made some blood orange and chocolate chip scones (mine were not vegan). I would encourage anyone else out there who may be feeling the "February winter blues" to do the same.- Hannah.
