Holiday Meal Suggestions:
I found this holiday recipe gold mine this week: Bon Appetit's Best Gluten-Free & Vegan Blogs for the Holidays! How can you ever go wrong with Bon Appetit?!
The Healthy Librarian's Top Ten Holiday Weekend Dishes (as voted by her family!): Can I just say that the HL really has some of the tastiest recipes ever & the fact that they are nearly all Esselstyn-approved--awesome!
Happy Herbivore Plant-Based Vegan Christmas Recipes: As always, Lindsay Nixon gives us a bunch of delicious recipe suggestions for the Holidays.
Healthy Girl's Kitchen's "Links for Latkas": Ok so I'm not Jewish but I grew up in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood and work at a Jewish hospital so unsurprisingly, I LOVE Latkas. That said they are super unhealthy and I haven't had some in forever. Thank you Wendy for posting all these healthy Latka options--whether you celebrate Chanukah or not, make some Latkas!! SO yummy!
Post Punk Kitchen: Holiday Recipes: Ok this is an AMAZING collection of plant-strong holiday options!! As always I particularly love the ease of finding recipes--click on a picture, boom you are there (like the Happy Herbivore recipe site that I like so much) New Blog for me to follow! Looking forward to it! :-)
My New Roots Blog: Yummy looking, very nutrient-dense, immune-promoting holiday options. Another great new blog I've found!
Another Exciting New Blog I Found:
OH MY GOSH--Gluten-free AND Vegan--oh can my heart sing more. This blog looks great! I'm going to start following it!: Golubka: Food That Takes Love Blog
Medical Posts:
Disease Proof: New Research to Investigate Nutrient-Rich Diets: This is research that desperately needs to be well-supported! Love that this is a priority.
Dr. Barnard on Crazy Sexy Life: 5 Ways to Save Billions & Boost the Nation's Health: I worked in public health and health policy before becoming a doctor so this blog post was particularly interesting to me. This is a fantastic article--particularly his first point on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps). Between SNAP & the Federal School Lunch Program (remember when Congress classified the tomato sauce on pizza as a vegetable a few weeks ago), I truly believe that our government is legislating childhood obesity & malnutrition. By the way, "Crazy Sexy Life" is a great blog put out by cancer survivor & best-selling author: Kris Carr, check it out!
Healthy Eating Posts:
Engine 2 "Daily Beet": Interview with the Happy Herbivore Lindsay Nixon (Part 1) & Engine 2 "Daily Beet": Interview with Lindsay Nixon (Part 2): How can I not like a post on Lindsay Nixon? (I'm SUCH a fan!) The best part of this interview for me was finding out about a gluten-free substitute for seitan! HOORAY! You can also check out my own interview with Lindsay here.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the great work you are doing here, Silvia
Thanks Sylvia! It helps me too to get everything organized--found some fantastic posts this week!
ReplyDeleteHow are you doing? Getting things ready for the holiday?:-)
Dr. Cat, I'm the writer of "Nutritarian Recipes," which is kind of quiet right now. But I found your blog yesterday thanks to a link maybe from Dr. Sharma to your "Dear 268 Pound Me" entry. I needed it for inspiration, as I've gained recently from poor habits and choices and need to remember where I've come from AND where I'm going. Thank you! It was a special thrill to find the link back to my own little blog as I traced through your recent posts this morning. Just sharing the love both ways, I suppose! :-)
ReplyDeleteHey Cindy! So glad you found my blog so you could see what I fan I was of yours! I'm very excited you are motivated to get going again--selfishly because I want more of your recipes!!:-)) No serious, don't worry about the poor habits--they come and go--the point is progress not perfection :-) At least that is what I've learned!
ReplyDeleteI hope you keep coming back and commenting--and thank YOU for featuring my blog on your blog today!! (that almost was a tongue twister!)
Take good care! :-) Happy New Year!
