Grain-Free, Lemon, Lavendar, and Chamomile Scones
These grain-free scones are moist and delicious, unlike traditional scones. They are perfect for an afternoon snack with a cup of tea. I don’t know about you, but I cannot eat grains every day or for every meal. Grains contain lechtins which are essentially the plant’s way of protecting itself from being over consumed. If eaten in high quantities, they make the stomach feel bloated and uncomfortable and can cause weigh gain. Lechtins are sometimes referred to as anti-nutrients, as studies have found that lectins can reduce the body’s ability to absorb nutrients. For that reason, I like to mix up my dishes between grain-free and grain-full. I use almond flour here, which is lechtin-free.
Ingredients
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 large organic egg
- ¼ cup honey
- ½ teaspoon organic vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest from an organic lemon
- 1–2 tea bags (or Tbsp ingredient) organic lavender & chamomile I use Traditional Medicinals Organic, Chamomile with Lavender, Tea Bags
Servings: scones
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- In a food processor, pulse together almond flour and baking soda (add lavender here if you don’t like the little specks)
- Pulse in egg, honey, and lemon zest
- Add tea bags, or lavender & chamomile, and pulse a few times to mix
- Transfer dough to a parchment paper lined baking sheet
- Form dough into a circle, 6 inches wide
- Cut dough like a pizza, into 8 slices
- Using a spatula move slices apart, leaving space in between
- Bake at 350° for 12-16 minutes until edges are browned
- Cool for 15 minutes.
- Serve

Good morning, beautiful people!!
Not everyone is meant to be the same size, weight or BMI for their “category”. We are all incredibly unique with different needs. I was not feeling comfortable in my COVID 7, so I set a goal of losing it and I achieved that goal and more, by eating healthy food like this, every day and every meal. No skipping meals, no cutting out of any food groups or types. By eating healthy, whole, foods you can attain your goals!

Edible Flower Spring Rolls
Using Edible Flowers in your party desserts, drinks, salads and even main dishes adds a unique element to your celebration. They add color, elegance, a bit of whimsy, and also have an interesting range of tastes.
Search for what is in season in your area – your local farmers’ market is a great source for finding out what is available and they’ll often have much more variety than the grocery store. Always ask vendors how their flowers are grown (you don’t want to eat flowers that have been sprayed with pesticides!). You can also order edible flowers (fresh or crystallized, which are great for using atop desserts) from several sites online (Gourmet Sweet Botanicals, Marx Foods, Food Innovations).

An Attitude of Gratitude
Gratitude is good for your mental health.
Gratitude is a thankful appreciation for what a person receives, whether tangible or intangible. With gratitude or thankfulness, people acknowledge the goodness in their lives. In the process, they usually recognize that the source of that goodness lies at least partially outside themselves. As a result, being thankful also helps people connect to something larger than themselves— whether to other people, nature or a higher power.
