VCF: 5 Friday Favorites

Samantha

Who doesn’t love a little sneak peek into what people are loving these days? Just like the weather, my mood and interests change all the time, much to my husband’s demise. Right now, I’m really into a lot of random things instead of being hyper-focused on one thing, which is quite unlike me. Anyways, I hope you enjoy a peek into my favorites at the moment and I’m curious to know what you’re all loving!

Our New Mini Goldendoodle

Vegan Orange Cranberry Scones

If you want a breakfast that will keep you full for hours, like literally you don’t think about food for hours, then try this decadent vegan treat. Here is the recipe if you want to give it a shot: vegan orange cranberry scones.

Vegan Loafers

If you love some of Gucci’s looks but don’t want to shell out nearly $1,000 for trendy loafers that you maybe won’t love forever, especially if you’re fickle like me, head to Target. I got these red loafers for <$20 on clearance. They’re the perfect pop to a basic outfit and not to mention, it was the perfect hint to red, blue, and white at work the day before the 4th. Being fashionable on a vegan lifestyle is not that hard, and tbh, I’m still transitioning away from my love for luxury to more vegan fashion options.

Avocado Toast

I’ve literally had avocado toast every morning since I first tried it and I am obsessed with it. I made it for the hubs for the first time this past weekend and even he loved it. Eat this and you’re pretty much vegan 😉

Panda Planner

I did buy an iPad Pro and I love it for many things, but I just haven’t figured out a way to substitute it for a good ol’ fashioned planner. The cover of the Panda Planner feels supple to the touch and according to the Panda Planner site, it’s made of pu/vegan leather (and I bet even a cowboy couldn’t tell). Not spon but you can use the code JULY20 for 20% off in the month of July! Or you can buy Panda Planner on Amazon here.

Vegan Orange Cranberry Scones

Samantha

Do you ever walk into a Starbucks coffee shop and just ogle the baked goods case, because girl you know I do, and 0/10 something entices me…mostly because there’s absolutely 0 things vegan and partly because ya girl is trying to lost some L Bs.

I was working out of our Chicago office one day and a scone was calling my name when I went to get my latte. And so, the vegan orange cranberry scones below were born and let me tell you, ya’ll will take one taste and thank me. Not to toot my own horn (toot toot) but I verbally said I’m proud of myself after I tasted this scone so if you need a nice little self-esteem boost, make these vegan scones stat. It also works as a quick and easy vegan breakfast recipe or vegan dessert recipe.

Vegan Orange Cranberry Scones – What You Need

  • 1 medium sized orange (for zest and 2 tbsp of juice)
  • 2 cups Bob’s Red Mill Unbleached All-purpose Flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup vegan sugar (I used Truvia and don’t care for the after taste, so I would recommend another vegan sugar of your choice)
  • 3 twists of salt
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk – be sure to not use the low-fat one
  • 1 cup dried cranberries (or cherries would work well in this too)
  • 1 9-inch circular baking tray

DIRECTIONS

  1. Combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar)
  2. Add in the orange zest and add in 2 tbsp of orange juice
  3. Melt the coconut oil and stir it into your dough
  4. Stir in coconut milk
  5. Fold in the dried cranberries and mix until combined.
  6. Move the dough into your baking tray, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes
  7. Preheat the oven to 400F
  8. Pull the tray out of the fridge and draw a knife through the dough to make even triangles
  9. Bake for 30 minutes, then cool for 10 minutes

The scones came out nice and soft and somewhat crumbly, and one will certainly fill you up!

If you try these, let us know what you think!
