- Soy bomb: It took me two goes to get these little gems right, but it was definitely worth persisting. Soy bombs from Cindy at Where’s the beef?
- Trying new foods: In response to the 31 Days to a Better Diet Kada at Through Thick & Thin tries some new foods. Loved this account of her progress.
- Simple green beans: A super simple way with green beans from Eating Out Loud. Crunchy fresh beans with toasted sesame seeds. Light and delicious.
- Smoothies: Sophie has been writing some good stuff about smoothies on Mostly Eating. The first post is about making your smoothies more nutritious while the second covers ingredients to make smoothies more interesting.
- Sexy, spicy broccoli? The second easy way with broccoli I’ve spotted in as many weeks. This time it’s raw, marinated in a garlic sesame dressing.
- Health reports: Via Weighty Matters I came across Health News Review a US site which rates news reports on health issues. They look at the level of scare-mongering, the thoroughness of the report, whether alternative views are presented – and give each news item a grading.
- Another lentil soup: I liked the look of this soup from the week’s Good Living: Fijian creamy lentil soup with caramelised onions.

Simply sexy green beans and sexy broccoli! Love it. :) I made a raw broccoli salad from Taste Buddies a little while back that used cumin, cilantro, lemon juice, garlic and olive oil (and I included flax oil). I really liked it very much and have this NY Times recipe bookmarked to try as well. Love the sound of the sesame oil in there. I was thinking I might use cauliflower though, as that is what’s plentiful around here this week!
Wow, that broccoli salad sounds just what we need for dinner! Thanks Kathryn :)
Doesn’t the broccoli sound amazing? I still haven’t tried last week’s one from The Wednesday Chef, but broccoli is on my shopping list this week – so I’m hoping to squeeze both in this week.
I always look forward to you link posts. Such great information, I always find something that I want to try.
Thanks for the links. I actually just read about those soy bombs and I loved the idea too.
Update: I made the soy bombs again earlier in the week and used rolled oats instead of breadcrumbs. It worked really well.
