The cost of healthy vs. junk food was always a topic of debate at my old job. Now some researchers have looked into it. Last week Stand Up & Eat from the Cooper’s Institute talked a bit about the Rising Cost of Low-Calorie Foods.
I first checked out Kevin’s blog a few weeks ago and he had just left for a trip to Greece. Needless to say, with my love of travel I’ve been anxiously awaiting a report upon his return. Check out Closet Cooking where he tells about his experiences including a donkey powered olive press and plenty of baklava.
I am loving all the new pumpkin recipes that seem to be popping up. Baking foods in the actual pumpkin is relatively new to me. This Pumpkin Packed with Bread and Cheese from Dorie Greenspan looks like an amazing addition to any Thanksgiving table.

That pumpkin looks great!
Thanks for all the articles. Guess what...my husband works for Cooper and I didn't even know that blog existed!
I am looking forward to cooking with pumpkins/squash as well. I just picked some up at the farmers market today.
veggiegirl - Thanks! She's my baby. The pic is from a couple years ago when she was helping me rake some leaves. :)
meg - How cool! I had the opportunity to go to 2 of their research conferences and I loved them. They have such a beautiful campus there, too.
kevin - I made some pumpkin bars this weekend. I can't wait to see what you cook up. :)
I love pumpkins too :) As for cooking things in them...I made some cream braised brussels sprouts, stuffed them in a small squash half, topped with cheese, and baked...it's good! :)
That sounds so great. Really creative too! I need to be more daring with my squash and pumpkin use. :)
