Links to a Healthy Weekend

My Saturday got off to a great start. This morning my husband took me out to the course he runs on Saturday mornings with coworkers. The beautiful fog hanging over all the horse farms made my five mile long run go by pretty quickly. A few of the horses ran to me when I went by. Funny how they have such playful personalities.

It was a nice change from the treadmill and fortunately it wasn’t raining this morning. How has the weather been where you are? We’ve had several days of gloomy rain. The warmer temperatures are pleasant, but I still wouldn’t mind some pretty white snow. I haven’t had my fill yet.

I came across so many great recipes this week as well as inspiring stories and some more info on sugar. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

Have a great weekend!

A Nutritionist Eats shared a recipe for Lentils with Curried Tarka. Lentils, curry and coconut milk, what’s not to love? This is just the kind of meal I like to have for lunch paired with some rice or flatbread.

Some Ones Cooking caught my interest with a recipe for Chicken Artichoke Rice Casserole. I really enjoy artichoke hearts, but don’t know many ways to use them other than in or with dip. This sounds like a great recipe and I especially like that there is a recipe for the white sauce as opposed to only giving the option of using canned cream soup.

Whisk: A Food Blog has had a waffle theme recently and the post featuring Hard Waffles got my attention. It is a hand-me-down recipe and she’s interested in knowing if anyone has a similar recipe for them or knows the tradition of how they are enjoyed.

Daily Bread Journal shared a beautiful story about her parents along with a reminder that we need to take time to slow down and enjoy the sites and people around us.

Small Footprint Family provided an informative post entitled Just a Spoonful of Sugar to add to our collection of sugar knowledge this week. If you aren’t yet tired of reading about the sweet stuff yet head over and check it out.
