~Lemon Scones & Purple Sangria Artichokes~

Stan and I worked in the garden all weekend, cutting back plants, taking others out because of the heat, planning new projects and 

of course, mowing the lawn.

 I wanted to make something simple for a dessert.

I love any recipe with lemons in it.

I found this Lemon Ginger Scones mix at Home Goods and

 thought this was the perfect day to whip some up.

They were delicious and so simple to make.

I also went to Bread and Cie, one of the best bakeries

 in San Diego.

Some lemon bread was on my list too.

It was so Good!

I love Trader Joe's and saw these beautiful purple stock and had to buy them. I love the way the sun

 was shinning on them this morning.

We have a Sprouts downtown and I was shopping one day and saw these awesome purple artichokes.

Stan took a photo next to our pumpkin, they're so Purple!

They're called Sangria Artichokes from Frieda's, a specialty produce company. I have never seen them before.We cooked them that night and they were so tender and sweet.

I went back the next day to get more. I will definitely like to grow some in our garden next year. So now, I'm on a quest to find some.

I also stopped by my favorite store, Home Goods

 and picked up a new little treasure for the mantel.

A girl's got to do,

 what a girl's got to do.

Happy Monday to everyone!!
