I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. For the trees have no tongues.
Totally digging this Lorax poster, paying homage to the 1971 Dr. Seuss classic that speaks to the damaging effects of humanity on the environment. A real short run of only twenty signed posters that are printed on reclaimed paper using soy inks. {via BB-Blog}
So here’s the thing, these Brown Sugar Scones are vegan. But I never would have known before looking through the recipe (or at the name of the blog). My rule: If it looks good, eat it!
The temps are still hanging out in the 60s around here, but on the weather this morning I happened to catch that a cold front is moving in this weekend and bringing the 40s with it! Being the coat-obsessed gal that I am, I began daydreaming about wearing all of my favorite cold weather regalia. And then I thought about the Soia & Kyo coats I’d checked out on sale last week and have yet to own. {via for me, for you}
I waited. I waited and waited. And then I waited just a little more for good measure. And now I can’t wait anymore to start posting about the holidays! My little mind is running rampant with all sorts of projects to whip up, gifts to give and decorations to make. Mind you, only about 25% of my grand plans will come to fruition, but I digress…
Christmas is only 45 days away (gasp with me) and I’m beginning. Here. Now.
Brown Sugar and Ginger Marinade. A ridiculously simple marinade that I can’t wait to try my hand at. She used it on beef kabobs, but I’m leaning towards chicken breast. And soon.
