Quicklinks
Posted by kathryn in Breakfast, Vegan, Snacks, Summer, Vegetables, Winter and Baking
There haven’t been any Friday Quicklinks for ages, but I’ve spotted some good stuff on the ’net this week, so here goes:
- The Great Muffin Makeover: Harvard School of Public Health have a great piece on making better-for-you muffins, as well as recipes and a comparison of their muffins vs coffee shop ones.
- Chilli Kaffir Tamarind Tofu: Via @Ganga108 comes this delicious looking recipe for stir fried tofu marinated in chilli, kaffir limes and tamarind. I think it looks a-mazing.
- Breakfast: Via @shauna, @Elle_Ann and @sophiemostly I came across these two pieces on breakfast. One is about make ahead breakfasts and the other covers hot breakfasts for a cold morning. Lots and lots and lots of lovely ideas.
- Fixated on Brussels: For Northern hemisphere readers, a couple of Brussels sprout recipes. Firstly this one from 101 Cookbooks for Brussels with an oregano drizzle sauce and secondly Sophie’s ruby red Brussels and gruyere salad.
- More recipes: Some of my recipes have gone up on the Readers’ Digest website including these goat cheese and radish bruschetta and a Sri Lankan inspired fish curry.
A reminder that you can still enter Dietgirl’s 11th birthday competition to win a copy of An Honest Kitchen Cooking for One.
Plus for those of you on Facebook, the clinic where I work has a new Facebook page. It’s another way for you to follow Limes and Lycopene, plus we’ll be posting recipes and links to articles on health, good food and exercise.

Thanks for the mention of my recipe, Kathryn! And thanks to @herestheveg and @Ganga108 for tweeting about it. :)
Thank you for these excellent links. I’d already seen Sophie’s brilliant recipe for Brussels sprouts and am happy to add Heidi’s to the list. This morning I received my farmers’ market newsletter & it featured a recipe for B’ sprouts with hazelnuts & parmesan cheese. I’ve plenty of tasty inspriration now to help me learn to love them, one step at a time. I’m also eager to make your bruschetta with the first radishes of early spring. I hadn’t seen the muffin makeover article so I’m grateful you pointed it. I really like the way it presents the practical tips.
My favourite recommendation from the muffin article was the name of the “stealth health” approach – don’t tell them you’ve changed the recipe!
I agree Arwen, there’s nothing like telling people you’ve made something healthy to put them off. Better to let them taste and enjoy, without the preconceived ideas.
