- Stocking the freezer: Cassie from Veggie Meal Plans has been preparing for a busy year ahead by stocking her freezer – which makes it easier to cook healthy meals when you’re busy. Cassie’s post includes cooking and freezing instructions, as well as ideas on how to use the foods you’ve frozen.
- Green soup: Lisa has made caldo verde. This is an easy potato and kale soup, common in Portugal. Hearty and full of nutrients.
- Super smoothie: Fatfree Vegan is celebrating the joint milestones of two years of blogging and four hundred posts. Susan’s recipe is for a “blended salad”. It’s a super GREEN smoothie made from spinach, pineapple and mango. With two cups of spinach, it contains two serves of vegies. I’m going to have to try this one.
- Green apple tea: continuing the green theme, although this one’s for those of us sweltering in the Southern hemisphere. Johanna has been making Wendy’s green apple tea. It’s an iced green tea flavoured with mint, lemon and apple juice. Sounds perfect.
- Why you don’t lose weight where you want: the start of a new year and it seems everyone wants to lose weight and get fit. Revolution health has a neat article which explains why it’s so hard to lose that weight from your hips, thighs and tummy.
- Healthier options when eating out: If you eat out a lot, it can be difficult to maintain a healthy diet. In answer to this 60 In 3 has written a two-part guide to healthier eating out options. Gal covers a wide range of food styles, summarising which are the best and how to make better choices at the rest. Part 1 covers Mexican, Chinese, Japanese and seafood. While part 2 includes Middle Eastern, Ethiopian, sandwich shops, pizza and BBQ.
Update: I’ve fixed the link to the green soup recipe.

Great links! Except I couldn’t get to the potato & kale soup recipe. The link said the page didn’t exist. :(
But all the other stuff was very informative — you’ve given me lots to read!
Mary, thanks for letting me know. I’ve fixed the link, so you can get through to the soup recipe now. Glad to hear you’ve found the information useful.
Have you got another cat? I didn’t think Trilby had white feet?
I have great trouble with soup, stilton and celery not good although vegetable and Leek ok. I think it is a knack

Thanks Kathryn — that soup sounds delicious /and/ healthy!
Good lord, I’m stuttering.
Glad you like the look of the apple green tea – it really hits the spot on a hot day! I finally made your fruit, nut and tahini slice and am loving it – thanks – will post something about it soon! Is your cat in the photo showing us its icecream diet :-)
It’s not my cat and it’s not my photo. You wouldn’t catch Trilby anywhere near a freezer. She has far too greater sense of her importance to be doing anything so uncouth and cold as the kitty in the picture. Although she does make sneak appearances on my blog occasionally, for example here and here. Trilby isn’t a big fan of ice-cream, she’d much prefer to steal a slice of bread!
Johanna, I’m about due to make some more nut and tahini slice. It’s all based on Cassie’s marvellous recipe – only slight adaptations from me. Aren’t they marvellous though. I’ve found them such a useful food to have around!
Thanks for the link, Kathryn.
The apple green tea – oh, simply yum! I’ve got to make that. :)
