Hi Friends!
I’m guest-posting today for Diana over at Veggie Next Door while she backpacks across Asia! I’m sharing my Lentil Pot Pie recipe, one of my absolute favorite vegetarian meals ever. Click here to check it out!!
**IMPORTANT NOTE: OK, so SRC got canceled for this month while they make some behind the scenes changes, but I was so on top of things that I’d already made my recipe AND written my post, so I’m not changing anything. I’ll just let you read exactly what I would have published. It’s a delicious recipe 🙂 **
Can you believe it’s time for another Secret Recipe Club post already?!
This month I was assigned to Barb’s blog over at Mom’s Fridge! She had tons of recipes to look through and I had fun browsing. These Orange Cranberry Scones jumped out at me, mainly because I LOVE scones but I always find myself making blueberry. Time to branch out!
I just made a few changes to her recipe. I used white whole wheat flour, added chocolate chips, used clementine zest instead of orange and left off the glaze!

These turned out great! Not too sweet & packed full of goodies.
What’s your favorite kind of scone?
Enjoy!

>Today’s Workout:
This one was fun because I did some moves I’d never done before like split squats and sumo squats. I also really pushed myself on the arm weights and I could definitely feel it by the end. It took me about 50 minutes.

you need my address! I will take some of these off your hands. haha
lemon blueberry is my fave!
I need to tackle scones. I just haven’t yet. I’m terrified of having them be too dry!
I’m not really a scone fan, but I do really like cranberry and orange together, especially in muffins or quick breads.
Oh my gosh those look awesome! I’m starting to like scones more and more…especially if that have chocolate chips in them haha.
I like cranberry orange a lot – never had them with chocolate chips though yum! And I love the lemon poppyseed my mom used to make.
When are you having me over for some of these?
I love scones but have always been a bit intimidated to try them myself. I love orange and cranberry together. But I think blueberry scones (or muffins) are my favorite!
Ohhhh… I would kill for a scone right now. My favorite is fig scone I used to make. Sadly, I missed fig season this year. Doh.
Greetings from Siem Reap, Cambodia! Thank you again, Lindsay for sharing your fabulous pot-pie recipe on my blog. Mike loved the pot-pie as much as I did (and it’s SO easy too!). I know I’ll be making it all the time once I’m back home and craving some winter comfort food!
these sound great! 🙂
Love the cran-orange combo. I’ve never made scones before! Perhaps I’ll adapt this one.
