Lovely Food

TGIF! Here’s my weekly roundup of lovely food and posts I saw this week in the ‘sphere.

I’ve been watching food, not the Royal Wedding. I think I’m the only person who hasn’t been watching it, but reading blogs has been akin to Wedding Cliff’s Notes. I can catch up on the whole thing just by reading blogs and in 10 minutes not hours. Perfect for me.

Enjoy the food! Or the wedding.

Great Reads of the Week:

Angela’s Grain of Salt Post addressing reader questions about body-image, weight, and eating topics. Comprehensive, beautiful.

Gena’s post on Eating Disorder “Types” in rebuttal to a Kevin Gianni article

Nicole of La Buena Vida’s photography of Tulum

So many posts, so many blogs, so many great recipes!

There is never enough time to read it all, get to it all, comment on it all, or make it all (unless you are feeding a football team) but the blogosphere is so inspiring.

Also loved your workout clothing loves. I always like hearing what everyone’s go-to apparel is. I hate breaking the bank on workout clothes and refuse to do it! No $50 sports bras and I only own one pair of $100 Lululemon pants. Nice, but I will never pay that kind of money again for one pair of pants. I liked hearing what you wear to get your sweat on with.

Questions:

  1. What’s on your agenda for the weekend?

I am working, workout out, working around the house, working in the kitchen. Did you catch a them there? But it’s all good. Hard work never hurt anyone.

  1. Have you been watching the Royal Wedding Coverage?

No, and I don’t really care! Gasp, I know. What can I say, I love the Kardashians and Real Housewives (E! and Bravo are where it’s at for me and my DVR) and I read blogs, and after that, I have no time for extra tv watching.

  1. Have you seen any recipe posts or food posts this week or recently that inspired you or have you made anything lately that you’re especially proud of?

This week, I am proud of my Chocolate Coconut Kale Chips …
