Freaky Friday

FEATURED POSTS

We had SUPER AWESOME POSTS last week and it was hard to pick just three to feature.  So be sure to go back and check out last week’s Freaky Friday to see all the entries again.  Some came in late and apparently my linky disappeared half way through the week (it’s back now), so check it out if you have the time!

INDIAN SPINACH with PANEER CHEESE

This recipe come to us from Jen @Jen’s Natural Kitchen (no, not RFF Jen).  :)   I love Indian food, so I was excited to see this come up on the list last week.  I look forward to making this yummy food as soon as I can get some spinach in my garden!  Thanks Jen — this one is getting bookmarked!

DRINK THIS AND RISK A STROKE

Jill @Real Food Forager brought us this great article on why DIET sodas are sooooo bad!  I love it because I have been trying to get my addicted hubs to stop drinking it.  Of course, I made him read the article!  I know you have other friends and relatives that think that because it is ‘diet’ it is supposedly healthy for them!  Let them read this!

DINNER AND AN MOVE: THE HUSTLER AND BISON BURGERS

One of my new favorite blogs is from Doug @Gaia Health Blog.  He is super smart about all that sciencey stuff related to nutrition.  Its a good read not to mention he is super creative as well.  He regularly features Dinner and a Movie with a movie review and a real food recipe!  How cool!

    Hi,

        Ha, Doug. Hope you didn’t take offense. I meant it in the most respectful way. I wish my brain comprehended all that science, but I appreciate people like you who can explain it all to peeps like me. :)

    Thanks for featuring my Indian Spinach with Paneer from last friday! I guess I am in an Indian food mood because this week I harvested a huge cabbage from my garden and the first thing I thought of was Indian Spiced Cabbage and Peas. I shared the recipe on this week’s carnival, hope all the Indian food fans enjoy it :)
