Happy November! I hope everyone is having a great weekend and recovering well from a night of Halloween fun.There was some excellent reading this week around the web regarding food, health and wellness. These are a few of the things that I really enjoyed.
Fit Bottomed Girls reported on a new study released about the safety of Splenda. As you know, I gave it up a while back and I think as the results of these kinds of studies keep coming I’m going to grow more content with my decision.
The Discomfort Zone had an informative and entertaining guest post about the raw food diet. I learned quite a bit by reading it. While I eat a lot of raw foods I couldn’t go 100%, but I really enjoy learning about what works for other people.
The Art of Non-conformity offered a thought provoking and motivating post reflecting on the phrase “Today is the first day of the rest of your life.” Need some inspiration this weekend? Definitely take a few minutes to read it.
This non-American Life is one of my favorite ex-pat blogs. This week she reported on her recent trip to Italy and has some photos of the amazing food she ate there. Don’t click the link if you are hungry! You can check out the rest of the blog for more beautiful photos of her travels.
From French Fries to Flaxseed had one of my favorite fall recipes of the week – Turkey Mushroom Shepard’s Pie. I liked the healthier spin with turkey and the use of white cheddar.

Is it weird for me to admit that I look forward to your "inks to a healthy weekend" post EVERY weekend??? I seriously love all the helpful, fun, informative information that you provide!!! :0)
I take it as a huge compliment. :) Thanks!
So glad I can provide some helpful stuff. I like reading others links too. There is just so much good info out there sometimes it is too hard to search it out all on your own. I find the ones I read really helpful for finding new blogs. Glad I can do the same for others here. Enjoy your weekend!
Wow, what a honor to have my shepard's pie recipe show up in your Links to a Healthy Weekend! I'm glad you enjoyed it - it's just something I came up with after moving out onmy own and wanting to "jazz up" my mother's old standard.
(can't seem to log in through the open ID option on your blog though!)
Hi marianne - Thanks for your comment. I loved the recipe. I just found your blog a couple weeks ago and really enjoy it.
Sorry about the log in problem. I'm not exactly sure what the issue is.
I like reading what you write, it reminds me to cook healthier!
Thanks for all the links! Very helpful!
Chef e - Hi! Thanks for your comment. Checked out your blogs. Love the pictures!
meg - Glad you liked them. :) Have a great weekend.
I'm loving the blog design. I haven't been around for the last few days and I usually read in Google Reader, so I may be behind the times, but me likey!
Thanks for the link love. It's caused me to avoid Splenda, too!
Thanks, jenn! It is still growing on me. It takes a while to get used to, but I do like it better than my old one. :) I appreciate the positive feedback!
