Quicklinks

- Counter-productive TV ads: Over at Chew on This Paula Goodyer discusses adverts that poke fun at healthy habits.
- Well balanced pasta: I like this pasta dish from Vegan Yum Yum. It has over three serves of vegies and looks delicious.
- Celeriac chowder: I’m always a bit unsure what to do with celeriac, so I was delighted to spot Lily & Chew’s celeriac, sweetcorn and butterbean chowder.
- 7 days of wellness tips: Another great link from Sophie – this time to the naturally lighthearted 7 day challenge. Each day you’re sent three mini-tasks to complete, based around the three themes of eat well, be active and be happy – it’s a lovely approach to wellness.
- Fritters: Life’s Smorgasbord has posted an excellent recipe for chickpea and sweet potato fritters. Particularly as they’re baked and not fried.
- Fruit: difficult to tasty: Richard pointed me to this cartoon – and it made me laugh. Although I completely disagree with the banana placement – surely it should be much higher on the “tasty” scale?

Oh, how funny Kathryn! I was just working on a post last night (not published yet) and included that cartoon myself! The grapes made me laugh out loud and the pomegranate, in my opinion, would have easily made it higher up on the tasty-axis (at least as high as pineapple). :D
I always enjoy your Quicklinks. And those baked fritters are looking particularly delicious to me right now!
I also have friends who’d disagree with the peach listing – tasty and easy. What about the messy juice they’d cry. I do like the idea though. I haven’t tried the fritters yet – they’ll be appearing on our menu very soon though.
I hate dieting too, but i have to lose weight, i tried the cabbage soup diet and that worked well for me as you only have to be on it for a short period of time.

I made the sweet potato and chickpea fritters over the weekend and they were delicious. Richard was away, so I made half the recipe – which yielded 6 fritters.
I made only a couple of changes to the recipe:
I had them for dinner one night with salad, yoghurt and lemon chutney. The next day I had the remainder in a wrap, with baba ghanoush and masses of salad.
It’s an excellent and useful recipe. I’ll be making them again.
Kathryn, thanks for the follow-up and for sharing your notes on that recipe. Your variations sounds wonderful with lemon chutney and as a wrap! This is still on my must-try list and I think I just decided that it will be made this week. :)
No worries Cassie. According to Nora, they also freeze well, although they loose some of the crispness when defrosted. But I think it would be a useful food to have in the freezer.
