Friday Finisher 4/10/15

Published: Apr 10, 2015 Β· Modified: Jan 3, 2020 by Rebecca Pytell Β· This post may contain affiliate links.

I'm just going to skip introductions this week. I really can't put this week into words, nor do I want to. So let's just more right along to many, many, many links and a ton of food. I had such a hard time narrowing my Pinterest picks down this week. I looked in my "Friday Finisher" bookmarked posts folder and realized I had WAY too many. I had to do some hard selection, but you can always see ALL my thousands of pins by following me right here πŸ˜‰

So, happy reading and happy Friday! I really hope all this terrible rain and gloomy dark skies go away this weekend. I think it's supposed to warm up here, but I have my doubts! Alas, if you find yourself trapped inside too, you won't be bored...I've always got you covered πŸ˜‰

    I've been guilty of buying into the Food Babe's hype (sorry Starbucks), but then I had a conversation with a chemist who had no hidden agenda and he set me straight. Since then I've paid more attention to what she's doing and I have to say, she runs on hysteria.

    Loved all of the links Rebecca. Thanks!

      Right? So good!
      And omg...one of life's biggest debates πŸ˜‰
      She is a psycho! Just like fake "Hannah Montana" fame (as I like to call these things). She has no credibility what-so-ever and gives REAL bloggers a bad name.
      People are so stupid. I have nothing good to say to someone who believes in cleanses and detoxes!

        Agreed. :[ The only detox I believe in = drug/alcohol detox for patients who are addicted to one/both.

    You always do such a great job of curating health-related content in these weekly posts! My currently tv series that's coming up on the end of the season pretty soon is Once Upon a Time...I probably love it a little too much.

You can never go wrong with a quick and easy curry and this one is a classic! Just canned chickpeas, @muirglen tomatoes, onion, garlic, tons of aromatic and fragrant Indian spices @simplyorganicfoods, and my secret ingredient...a handful (or two) of spinach! Made in one pot or skillet (I use my @lodgecastiron ) and top it with some fresh cilantro and a splash of lemon juice if you so desire! πŸ₯°

Skip the peanuts and make this allergy-friendly sunflower seed brittle instead! You only need some roasty toasty full-flavor @gerbsallergyfriendlyfoods salted sunflower seeds (or unsalted and add your own to taste!), vegan honey (or normal honey if you so choose), and some granulated sweetener @swervesweetie or sugar! Add in any other fun flavors like spices and extracts or keep it simple! You can even make it chewier with my tips and tricks! 😍
