- Family Nutritionist has a recipe for green and orange ribbons with fettucine, a lovely way to balance out the vegetable to starchy carbohydrate ratio. If you can’t get mustard greens you could use silverbeet.
- I wouldn’t recommend this approach to anyone, but here’s what happens when a meat addict goes hard core vegan for one month.
- I love the sound of these Turkish Red Lentil Balls – I think I’ll be cooking them this weekend.
- Chew On This blogs about eating organics on a budget. Given most of us can’t afford to be 100% organic, what are the best buys for your health and the planet.
- I’m currently reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver – one family’s year of eating foods either grown locally or from their backyard. They have a website, including a seasonal tour of what’s happening in their garden – I particularly love the photo of asparagus emerging from the ground.
- DietMotion lists the small steps you can take to lose weight and improve your health. You don’t have to do all these at once. Instead, pick a few and adapt those into your daily and weekly routine. Once you’re used to doing them, add a couple more in. In that way you are edging your way towards being healthier.
- I’ve been coming across beetroot recipes all week. It’s my favourite vegetable and I’m always happy to find new ways of cooking it. My personal favourites are Lucy’s beetroot soup, Well-Seasoned Cook’s yellow beets with walnuts, a baked beetroot and chickpea salad with a dash of pomegranate molasses and every child’s nightmare, roasted beets with rice, greens and brussel sprouts.

Wow those beetroot recipes are making my mouth water. One of my favourites at the moment is beetroot and goats cheese bruschetta. A slice of good toasted ciabatta bread a rub of raw garlic, some soft goats cheese topped with some sliced roasted baby beets that have been drizzzed in balsamic. A little salt and pepper to finish and just try stopping at one!
Thanks for providing some new ideas for one of my favourite vegies too!
Hi, Kathryn! Thanks so much for featuring my post. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. You’ve got a great blog, lots of vegetarian options, which greatly appeal to me. I’ll come visit again, often.
Glad to hear you’re a beetroot fan Emma. I’ve got a bunch in the fridge, but almost can’t decide. And you’re beetroot and goat’s cheese ciabatta also sounds fabulous – some of many favourite foods on a slice of toast!
No problems at all Susan, very happy to link to you from Limes & Lycopene. I think reached your blog via links or comments on Nourish Me and Elegant Sufficiency. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed looking around your recipes and there are a couple I have my eye on.
I roasted some organic beetroot last night with olive oil in foil. Sliced them in quarters on a lamb and fetta salad. Delicious.
Sounds delicious Sue, I’m looking forward to trying all these different ideas!
