Here is a bunch of fun stuff that I found recently around the net. If you want to see more stuff like this all the time (aaand I mean all the time, because I have an addiction) why don’t you follow me on twitter?

Have a good weekend!!

Why it doesn’t pay to be a people pleaser.

This might be the most epic list of football food I’ve ever seen. 

For those not ready to let summer go, here are 8 Delicious Popsicle Recipes.

The best places to enjoy fall. I can vouge for Stowe, and Salem, but how could they put NYC over Upstate, NY?? Haven’t they seen the Adirondacks???

 

Now let save this beauty by not using plastic. How to store leftovers without plastic. 

Loved this post from Tenth Acre Farm, on how to start a garden on a budget.

You may think the world is falling apart. Steven Pinker is here to tell you it isn’t. 

However, even the Pope thinks there needs to be more climate change action. 

As for things that I’ve been pinning lately… btw have you joined my group pinterest board??

 

 

 

It’s time again for one of those posts where I hand you the links to everything I’m finding interesting on the interwebs lately. Enjoy!

 

Everything you like eat is fake.  Well that’s what it feels like.

The Veggie Burger of the Future. Obviously fake, but could it be the answer to reducing meat consumption? I’m still not 100% sure about GMO’s.

Did you know giving up meat for one day can save 4,000 gallons of water? Take the #noH2oChallenge with me and help save some water.

Speaking of water: Did you hear that our water is now more polluted than ever?  There are a million different ways to change this but what it really gets down to is changing our land use and reducing climate change. How do we do this? See Above. Eat less meat, adopt a more long term food generation style (caugh*permaculture*), and reduce waste to start with.

As if I needed another reason to love Alicia Keys. I Haven’t worn makeup on a regular basis in years, but to see someone with such a presence do it is an amazing feeling. I hope ladies all around take note. #frecklesforever

Dogs understand both words and intonation of human speech. So now I’m just going to talk to my dog more.

I loved this article on Designing Regenerative Culture. The quote “there is a false separation between nature and culture” really stuck with me.

I’ve been doing a few of Yoga by Candace’s videos on the mornings I go into work late, and man has it felt good. I need to work on my flexibility again though.

Things I’m Pinnning:

 

 

While I don’t personally use Field Goods, (I have more veggies than I can handle from my garden most times) I often recommend it to people, and have known numerous people who have used it and love it. I was so happy to see Donna Williams standing up for companies like hers and for farmers. I will never understand the media, government, and Big Corporations issues with honest grown food, it seems they always have something negative to say.

I watched Cowspiracy recently (also available on netflix) and woah. Everyone should watch this.

And on that note check out the statistic below and read more here.

After all this time we find out that there is no scientific evidence to back flossing. Numerous studies of ancient bones, and indigenous hunter/gatherers who do not brush or floss have shown some pretty awesome teeth, so I’m not entirely surprised. I’m starting to think everything is tied to diet.

The first jumping off point in this article gives the idea that “food Media” is not important. Because diet, family connection, and sustainability aren’t important (just see above). Food is probably one of the most important things in any culture, just saying. Way to erk my tatters folks.

Another reason to love Patagonia.

And for the food.

 

Here’s a list of all the awesome stuff I’ve found around the internet lately. Enjoy!

 

What would a soda tax mean for the nation? Philadelphia is the first to test it out.

Why Food Stylists Hate Burgers, and More Bon Appetit Photo Shoot Secrets.

What if we did one good deed a day?

Farmers markets and how they are evolving to be less about local farmers.

How to attract more bees to your garden.

 

Favorite pins recently

Forgive me for missing my weekly recipe post. You kind of got three of my favorites to test out on Monday, so I think it’s fair. The last 2 to 3 weeks have kind of been a blur so you’ll have to bare with me a bit. Since it’s been a while since I did a weekend links post I thought it might help to tide you over for a bit. Enjoy!

 

I’ve been seeing this around, and I’m really considering doing it, just because.

A Better Kind of Happiness.

20 Ways to Learn Something New Everyday…. Because I love to learn.

Antibacterial Soap has its’s time and place, and its not in everyday use. Many of the things in this article I have been saying for years.

Love this interesting take on the Pokemon Go obsession.
