• Grow your own: Wendy from A Wee Bit of Cooking has been growing her own micro salad leaves. A tasty, fresh and highly nutritious addition to any salad.
• Indian porridge: Porridge is such a good way to start the day. Low GI, filling and guaranteed to keep you going. I was intrigued by A Life (Time) of Cooking’s Indian style porridge. Flavoured with cardamon, cinnamon, nuts and palm sugar – what a delicious combination.
• Easy, healthy snacks: Nice tips from Fitsugar on how to stock your kitchen with healthy convenience foods. It’s all part of making it easier to eat well.
• Mini spinach muffins: I’ve just come across the Crunchy Green Things blog and loved this recipe for mini spinach muffins. I can imagine these being a really useful food to have in the freezer.
• More on useful foods: Lucy has written a lovely post about the foods she uses to spice up mid week cooking. In between other weekend activities she put together roasted tomato pesto, beetroot, pear and ginger relish along with a fabulous looking nori condiment.
• Comparing food prices: Stephanie over at Elegant Sufficiency has been comparing food prices this week. From a list of fruit and veg staples, and reader responses she’s put together a list of the prices charged in different areas. And there’s a wide, wide variation.
