Grinchmas Eats

I think the best part about Grinchmas in July is the lighter fare you can eat, which can be way more vegan-friendly, without everyone complaining.  Stop by my Grinchmas in July Board to see some more fun ideas.

Summer-Friendly Grinchy Sweets

This is our first February back in WI, and I'm glad to see some things don't change...I've had my fill of winter.  Now I'm daydreaming about my garden and warm days.  Most importantly, though, Grinchmas in July will be here before we know it!  

I'm starting with sweets, because, well, why not?  My new strawberry plants won't be ready to give up the goods for this year, so we'll be back at the local patch and my fingers are itching to get out there.

Unique Christmas Trees Revisited

The minute I finished looking for fun tree ideas they started appearing everywhere.  So...here are a few more, but this is it for now, I swear.  No matter how tempting another post may be, they will have to wait until they fit into some other theme.
