Links to a Healthy Weekend


I hope things are well where ever you may be this Saturday!

I have had a really great week. Thanks for such a positive response to Mango Week and I’m looking forward to all your great mango recipes.

I’ve been asked if the badge can be used to share the recipe challenge on your own blog and the answer is – absolutely! I appreciate anything you do to invite others to participate.

I came across so many great articles and posts this week that cover topics from gardening to travel to content theft. The food and health web-world was overflowing with informative stuff!

The Nutrition Data Blog posted an article about What Growing Your Own Food Can Do for You. Yet another reason to garden in any way you can. I also read the blog Gardner to Farmer which was mentioned in this post. It provides a wealth of helpful info for those who are looking to get started.

Veggie Trader is a site I found through Twitter this week. You can use the site to trade, buy or sell produce with other growers in your area. Such a great idea! You can get rid of the some of the extras you might have and also get your hands on a variety of veggies you may not be able to grow yourself.

Food Lovers Like Me took a trip to Panama and shared her experiences with us this week through pictures. The fish and corn soup with guava punch look amazing!

Bitchin’ Avocado is a blog written by Allen who also blogs at Eating Out Loud. This week he provided a very helpful post about How to Trace What’s Copied from Your Blog. He spreads the word about a content tracer he’s used to track who copies text and pictures from his food blogs. Very interesting stuff!

Thanks for the heads up on Veggie Trader. Nothing in my area, but I'm going to send it on to other people in my region...hopefully people will start using it soon since I have a huge pear tree in my yard back in KY. No one can eat that many pears.

Thanks for the links-I'm going to check out the Gardener to Farmer and the trace one. Have a lovely, healthy weekend!

Thanks for more great links! I just got done going through Bitchin' Av's post on content thievery as well as following other links he provided. It's awful when someone takes credit for all you hard work!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks for the links! I'm really excited to think up mango recipes.

VeggieGirl - Thanks! I agree. I love it!

Mindy - I think it is such a great idea. A pear tree? How cool. If we cross paths in KY at the same time, I'll take some! :)

Reeni - Gardener to Farmer has a ton of great info. Hope your weekend has been great!

Tangled Noodle - I know. It is so hard for me to understand people who can steal content and not feel guilty or view it as wrong.

Heather - Right after I got your comment my husband said I needed to start putting the location at the end of the post! :) I have done it before, but forget sometimes! Oops! Iguazu Falls in Argentina to answer your question. The Argentina side is much better than the Brazil side. Even many Brazilians admit that. Ha!

Alison - Great! So glad you are planning to participate!

Thanks for the Veggie Trader link. I miss being able to show up at my small-town farmers' market with my own backyard produce and buy from others with the same.

Thanks for the great links, and glad to hear your week went so well! I'd love to have my own garden, but I think I'll have to wait a while longer to grow my own food. Love the Veggie Trader concept, and the BA post looks really useful, too.
