Links to a Healthy Weekend

June 14, 2009

Wow, this week blew by without many new posts from me. Sorry about that. I guess I’ll chalk it up to getting settled back in. Between work, laundry and catching up on sleep I didn’t do much cooking (of anything new) or research for my own blogs. I’m hoping the ideas start flowing again next week though.

I did have time to do a little reading this week. I also did a recap today about the Corpus Christi holiday here in Maringá on my expat blog if anyone is interested.

Now on to a few great recipes from the past week!

No Meat Athlete’s Sweet Potato and Chickpea Curry sounded so good when I came across it this week. It has been a long time since I’ve had some good curry so I may whip this up soon. I completely agree with him that coconut milk is essential in a great curry.

Whisk: a food blog had some fantastic looking bagels. They are Montreal-style and I have to say that this post did as much to educate me as it did to get my bagel craving going. I’ve never made my own bagels, but these sound great!

The Reluctant Vegetarian’s Sweet Potato and Black Bean Wrap looks wonderful. I love how she shredded the sweet potatoes. Such a great idea!

And this, well it is just plain funny. If you love animals, check it out. It is hilarious how the dog acts only mildly interested in the whole thing.

    I’ve never made bagels before either but have always wanted to try! Hope you had a safe trip back

    Thanks everyone. The trip went well. Even though there isn’t much of a time change that one night without sleep on the plane always gets me. It takes me a week to get back to feeling like myself again. 🙂

    Those recipes look great! I’ve made a sweet potato black bean burrito recipe before that was fabulous. This recipe looks different but really good too.

    Definitely catch up on your rest! I’m so far behind on my blog reading and posting because of my class but I’ve learned to let it go and start up again when I’m good and ready! Thanks for these great links – I’ve never had (or heard of) Montreal-style bagels but not it’s got me craving for some, and the black bean/sweet potato wrap sounds soooo good!

    Thanks for mentioning my curry recipe! It really was tasty, so much better than other homemade curries I’ve done. Coconut milk rules, and I’m glad to see that a nutritionist approves of it!

    The dog and the monkey are just the cutest!!
