Hello, winter! Hello, cold windy days made for staying curled up under a pillowy comforter. This time of year has me craving those homestyle comfort foods that make me feel all warm and cozy. In their original forms, they are almost always high-carb, high-sugar, animal-based, and saddled with gluten. I mean, really–when you think about it, shouldn’t it be called discomfort food?
So how do I beat the winter blues that usually follow a binge of comfort food? Re-create them free of gluten, animal-products, and refined sugar, of course!
This roundup of 24 soul-satisfying comfort foods is perfect for getting you through even the worst possible blizzard–without the remorse of unhealthy eating. Your mind and body will thank you (and so will your belly!)

![New recipe!! Bakery Style Scones wrap a buttery tasting delicate crumb inside with a golden brown exterior. Studded with chocolate chips, they will take your tea time to the next level! π―β

Anyone who knows me knows I love my scones!β€ I have developed many scone recipes over the years. From Mocha Pumpkin Scones to Golden Pomegranate Scones on Nutritionicity to Berry Burst Scones and Mocha Chocolate Chip Scones which found a home in my new cookbook Eat Well, Be Well-βthereβs much to choose from. All of these round-style scones are super moist and packed with protein. These days though, I have been craving bakery style scones. You knowβthe ones that sit behind the glass case and tease you with their golden brown pie shaped promise.π

Iβd been hoping that one of the chain stores (Iβm lookinβ at you Panera) would finally make a gluten-free option. Alas, even if they did their recipe probably wouldnβt be plant-based and refined sugar-free, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. What you see before you is the result! I hope you β€ them as much as I do!ππ
