Links to a Healthy Weekend


Happy weekend! I hope you are enjoying it. As always, there was so much great stuff out there to read this week. It looks like many of you are enjoying the first signs of spring. It is hot here and we are really looking forward to a little sign of fall and winter (being that winter here is like a beautiful fall in the mid-southern US).

Thank you for all the wonderful comments on the Blog Reading post this week. It was so great to have everyone’s input.

Now, some healthy reading for your weekend…

Food Magazines Begin to Consider Cooks’ Budgets was an article posted at the NYTimes this week. It was an interesting read about how the more upscale food magazines are adjusting their content to meet the needs of those who have found themselves with a little less money to spend on fancy meals.

Green Gigs shared the details of 7 Green Careers from Home. This was especially interesting to me since I work from home myself.

Delicious by Nature sparked my interest with a recipe for a homemade, dairy free Coconut Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. I had never thought of using coconut milk for a base in my ice cream maker, but I will be trying this.

Diet, Dessert and Dogs posted some outstanding meal-in-a-bowl ideas, some great discussion and recipes for her sauces. Almond curry or orange fig anyone?

Food Renegade is introducing Fight Back Fridays – a blog carnival of real foods. Even if you don’t participate it is surely going to be worth it to head over and check out the recipes of those who do. The first one is March 13.

Oh, thanks for getting the word out about Fight Back Fridays! I'm really looking forward to it and hope a lot of people participate. The more people who do, the more we ALL benefit. :) And we can hopefully change the way America (and the industrialized world) eats -- one forkful at a time.

Lori said...

gastroanthro - Great! So glad I could pass on some new reads.

Candice - Thank you for the award! As for the house, we are still very much in the searching stage, but it is nice to at least have our eye on something.

Food Renegade - Glad to spread the word. I'm inspired by how passionate you are about what you do. :)
