Happy Saturday! I hope it is a beautiful day wherever you are. The sun is shining bright here and the temperature is supposed to get near 90 F this weekend. Not exactly fall here yet, but I have my fingers crossed that soon we will have some cooler weather and it will stick around.
Here are a few things I found this week that I just had to pass on. One of them isn’t so positive, but is definitely worth mentioning. It will make you want to work even harder at spreading the word about healthy living.
See you next week!
Food Renegade had an inspiring interview with Nina Planck author of Real Food: What to Eat and Why. I especially liked reading the part about her journey from meat eater to vegan and then to a consumer of a natural diet incorporating animal products again. I haven’t read her book yet, but I will the first chance I get.

31 Flavors? Think outside the carton, homemade ice cream lovers was an article by David Lebovitz in the LA Times this week. His ideas really got the wheels turning in my head regarding homemade ice cream creativity. I loved the idea of using Greek yogurt.
My Year Without Sugar posted a recipe for Curry Squash Soup with some unique ingredients like spelt flour and apple juice. One thing that I’ve really enjoyed regarding produce selection in Brazil is that squash and pumpkin are year round foods here. I like being able to take advantage of the great flavors more than two months a year.
Here’s the not-so-positive one. The Fight for Fitness posted about the Fifth Third Burger that has popped up into the news recently. I think it is safe to say that most of us are disgusted by this. I mean, everything in moderation if you want an appropriately portioned burger, have it. I just don’t understand the need for people to come up with massive portions to prove the point that they can contradict healthy living.
I guess they just need a big pat on the back and a "good for you". Unfortunately for them it is really quite easy to be unhealthy in our society so they aren't proving much of anything. Eating real food that tastes good and is good for you is something worth being proud of.

Yeah, that burger creation is definitely... different, haha ;-)
Great links as always!! Thanks!!
That burger is horrible!
It's about 60 and windy here today ... I'd switch you if I could ; )
A free t-shirt for feeling gross? That's one trade I'll pass up. Thanks for these links!
The burger! Over 4,000 calories! Ewww! On the other hand, a scoop of carrot cake ice cream sounds great! Have a wonderful weekend!
Planck's book is a good read, even if you don't agree with everything she advocates. She's thoughtful and articulate. Thanks for the link to her interview. Hope you get some cool weather soon.
great links and adorable pupster!
Thanks for the links Lori - I'm definitely going to get a hold of the Nina Planck book. As for that burger, the less said the better :(
VeggieGirl - A very positive description. Ha, ha!
Lesley - You gotta a deal! 90s, sunny and no proper AC is getting pretty old for me. :(
Tangled Noodle - Yeah, I know. What a prize!
Reeni - I thought the same thing. Carrot cake ice cream sounds great!
laura - Thanks for you input about the book. I tend to find that with most health books. I usually don't agree with everything, but can pull out a lot of helpful info despite that.
Heather - Thanks. She is cute, isn't she? :)
Daily Spud - Agreed. Would love to know what you think when you read the book. I should be able to get a copy this summer.
Thanks for the great links. I’m interested in Nina Planck’s “Real Food.” I went from meat eater to vegetarian (~ 8 yrs) and back to meat eater again, and I’m curious to see what motivated her decisions. And, I totally agree with the last sentence of your post. Really, what’s to gain by eating massive portions of unhealthy food? Oh well. To each his/her own, I guess.
Always good! Hope you enjoyed the weekend!
What a cute dog picture :)
Sapuche - I have met a lot of people recently who have taken that journey from meat eater to vegetarian and back again. I find the many reasons and views so interesting. I'm looking forward to reading the book.
Mark - I did! I'm kind of late in replying b/c a new one is almost here. :)
Selba - Thanks for stopping by with your comment. I happen to think she's pretty adorable, but I guess I'm biased being her mom. :)
