Hi folks! I hope you’re all having restful and happy weekends. Paul and I are babymooning in Crete this week, taking advantage of some warmer weather before our travel cut off. So far it’s been a lot of amazing food, great sights, and lots of relaxation. Follow along on instagram if you like!
Now for this week’s links:
1. Is Fat Stigma Making Us Miserable?
2. The Limits of Intuitive Eating.
3. Cutting sugar from kids’ diets appears to have a beneficial effect in just 10 days.
4. This in mind, does America need a national sugar tax?
5. We’ve heard about the Mediterranean diet for years, but the newest kid on the block is the Nordic diet.
I’m on holiday for most of this week, so no meal prep coming from my kitchen. But perhaps some healthy inspiration for your Thanksgiving table? This Kale and Butternut Squash Salad with Chickpeas and Wheatberries is just the thing.
Also catching my eye this week is this Vegan Lentil Loaf with Roasted Carrots and Portobellos (except without the mushrooms, because, yuck) from Veganosity, this Shaved Brussels Sprouts and Kale Salad with Lemon Maple Dressing and Hemp and Pumpkin Seed “Parmesan” from The Full Helping, and this Wild Rice Stuffing with Butternut Squash, Pears, and Pecans from The Roasted Root. Yum!
Katie, you don’t like mushrooms either?! I feel like everyone thinks vegetarians love mushrooms! not all of us 🙂 Love those articles and happy baby moon!! Do we get a baby bump picture sometime??
Yes!!! So glad to hear there’s another mushroom hating vegetarian out there! They’re the bane of my existence as everyone wants to feed me mushroom things, but I just don’t like ’em at all! There’s a bump pic at the end of my latest pregnancy post, which went up about a week ago 🙂
great article and healthy- so different!
I watched a documentary last Summer about how the Nordic diet is THE diet, not sure how it will be for vegetarians though…?! Enjoy your baby moon!
Yeah, those Nordics do love their salmon. But I think the freshness and emphasis on local ingredients is something we could all pay more attention to.
I love the idea of a babymoon. Enjoy! Great links, I’ll have to forward these to Alex since she’s in grad school for health psychology. And thanks for sharing my lentil loaf. You won’t even notice the mushrooms, but you can leave them out if you can’t stomach them. 😉
I *always* notice the mushrooms!
