    Hi Katie…please, please, please can you do a knock off healthier version of Starbuck’s Pumpkin Scones?

    i LOVE all your recipes and I am SO excited to try a lot of these out next week for Thanksgiving!!! However, my comment is about the ads I see on your site. Multiple times now I have seen ads for meat brands or meat-serving restaurants, and I think that is a little sad and very unfitting considering this a vegetarian/vegan blog. I imagine there is a way to control which types of ads are displayed…
