New Link

I've added a new link to the list of food links on the left:

Oh She Glows

I hope you are inspired by her story and enjoy her site as much as I do.

New Link - Happy Herbivore

Well, so much for trying to post more often.  Fall is crazy busy around here, I think even busier than the rest of the year.  I am trying to develop a routine though, and plan to work posting into that routine.

To start off the new year, I'm adding a new link to the Food Links:  Happy Herbivore.  A friend recommended this site to me and I am really enjoying it.  I have subscribed to the e-mails and I have 2 of the cookbooks (after not wanting to part with the first one when I borrowed it from the library).  If you're trying to eat a more plant-based diet, Happy Herbivore is a wonderful resource.  Enjoy!  We are!

New Food Link

The Simpleliving.net discussion boards are a great place to find food blogs about cooking simply, on a budget, and/or with whole foods. One of the board members posted a link to her husband's blog. They are both graduate students, have three boys in grade school, and are living on a tight budget. He is studying how to eat a mostly local diet on a tight budget and he is blogging about the experience. His blog is The Poor Locavore and I'm adding it to the food links on the left-hand menu. Coincidentally having everything on hand, we tried his fried apples with dumplings the other night and they were a hit. The only feedback I got was to add some flavor to the dumplings, for example, some cinnamon. I imagine this would be good with peaches as well. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I do.

New Food Link

I've added a new link to the right-hand food link list:  Meatless Monday.  It's a non-profit initiative associated with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.  The idea is to go meatless for one day a week for health and environmental reasons.  We generally go meatless at least one day each week just by the way we eat in general, but I like the theme.  I'll work at sharing some additional meatless meals, starting today.

New Nature Links

I added two new nature links on the right-hand menu.  I hope these encourage you to step out and enjoy the natural world around you.
