I’m doing exactly what I love to do this weekend – traveling. A short trip, but it feels like I haven’t been away from home in a very long time so I’m really looking forward to a change of scenery. We are headed to Indiana for Purdue basketball game tonight and we’ll be squeezing in as many stops as possible at some great restaurants in the area.
What are your plans for the weekend? Celebrating Valentine’s Day, Chinese New Year or Carnaval?
Here are some of my favorite reads from the week. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
Don’t (White) Sugar-Coat It has teamed up with some other food bloggers to host The Super Breakfast Bowl Challenge. Each week readers are challenged to incorporate a different ingredient into their breakfast and submit posts. This week was avocado, next week is flaxseed.
Holly Hickman is a journalist and author I’ve just recently been introduced to. The post Don’t Soak Your Nuts, Boys really caught my attention this week and not just because of the title. Soaking nuts and grains is a popular practice, and as it turns out a bit of a debated topic when you take a look at the science.
Striving Bean shared a recipe for Dark Chocolate Cookies made with beans! I’ve had black bean brownies before, but not cookies. It looks like a great recipe to try!
Rawmazing was featured on some of the foodie photo sites this week with Raw Cinnamon Buns. They look so good! I obviously don’t eat all raw foods, but I’m certainly not opposed to them. I had some pretty outstanding raw cheesecake in San Francisco and I have feeling these buns won’t disappoint either.
The Matador Network did a post featuring Matador Pets this week. I loved seeing all the photos and locations of the pets. I especially like the goat. Oh, and Macy is in there too!
I’m looking at having a logo created for my blog. If you happen to know of a person or company that does good work please drop me a recommendation in the comments.
Photo: A new cupcake place opened in town last weekend. This chocolate cupcake with chocolate buttercream tasted as good as it looks!
