Given how much I love Easter, this is a very happy Saturday for me! I was able to do some reading this week and this is what I found well worth sharing. Wherever you are and whatever holidays you celebrate I hope you have a blessed and beautiful weekend!
Low-fat yogurt: why bother? is a post by Eric Burkett, Food Examiner. He reviewed several of the additives in low-fat yogurt which I was aware of, but still found his post very informative. I started exploring fuller fat yogurts after reading The Fat Fallacy by Will Clower. I have to say I really don’t enjoy the fat free, sugar free versions any longer.
Every Kitchen Table featured a post about Unsustainable food. After reading Omnivore’s Dilemma this topic has really consumed me. I find myself craving more and more information so I can increase my knowledge as a consumer and health advocate.
Selby’s Food Corner showed off some of the most adorable Easter cupcakes I have seen. It is amazing what she can do with fondant!
Eating Out Loud shared about using natural dyes to decorate Easter eggs. I loved this! I’m always looking for more ways to create color without using artificial food coloring. A great way to have a more natural Easter. Now, what do about all that candy? Have to say I’m leaning towards enjoying in moderation because I am craving some jelly beans!
HAPPY EASTER, LORI!!! 🙂
Great links! Thank you! I haven’t been able to eat whole fat yogurt yet, although I did switch from fat-free to low-fat for pretty much the reasons mentioned in this article. I also find that fat-free yogurts are too sweet.
Happy Easter! Easter candy for me is all about the Peeps and those weird marshmallow-like eggs covered in a “fruity” hard exterior. Luckily, my mom only sent us Peeps this year, so rationing is mandatory.
Lori, thanks so much for doing this round-up. I’m trying to wean my children off of the fruity yogurts in the store. Only one of them has embraced my homemade, full fat yogurts as an equivalent though.
thanks for the links! Happy Easter!
This is a great round-up this week! I’m particularly interested in the posts about yogurt and natural food dyes. The scrunched-face bunny is so cute!
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter day to you. We, at http://liftyouup.blogspot.com, believe in eating healthy is supreme important to stay fit and healthy. As such, we need to consult you more often.
VeggieGirl – Thanks! To you as well!
Alison – Glad you liked them. It is definitely a work in progress to get back to full fat. We’ve been so heavily trained that the other varieties are better for us, but now I definitely disagree with that.
Mindy – So glad you got some Peeps! Oh, I forgot all about those marshmallow eggs.
Joie- Your welcome. Hopefully in time that homemade yogurt will grow on them.
Meg – You are welcome! Happy EAster!
Tangled Noodle – Thanks! Photo credit goes to my niece. 🙂 Happy Easter!
James oh – Thanks for your comment. Happy Easter!
I’ve never been much of a jelly bean fan … but I’ve definitely had some other desserts today ; )
Happy Easter!!
Hi Lori,
Thank you so much for your compliments of my Easter cupcakes, I’m so flattered! You really make my day! 🙂
Happy Easter!
lesley – No jelly beans? 🙁
Selba – I loved them! They were so cute I had to share.
Hi Lori,

Great blog!
