Blog World Weekly

by Erika

All over Blog World I see posts recapping the week’s happenings for anyone who missed them and I love them.  Not only are they a great way to learn more and get new recipes, but they are also a great way to come across new blogs!

Plus, the great thing about it is that it never gets old, considering everyone reads different blogs!  Here’s my version. :-D

* * * * * * *

Last week started off on the right foot when Jessica posted a recipe for Maple Bacon Brown Sugar Scones.  I mean who would want to press the Snooze button when they could be eating a delicious sweet and savory scone…not me! ;-)

I came across this article via Twitter and it had me laughing for the entire week.  Anyone who is willing to admit to stealing a few nuts from the bulk foods bin at Whole Foods now and then will find this hilarious.

I also loved listening to Carrie‘s opinion about carbs, fats, and calories.  Her blog is amazing and she is truly one informed and health-consious teen!  She also recently became vegan – talk about a commitment!  Way to go, girl! :-D

Normally, I like posts with lots of pictures and fewer words, but this post by Hillary changed my mind.  She posted a story that she wrote for her Writing for the Mass Media class about Starbucks.  I was hanging on to every word.  Hillary, you are an amazing writer!

This isn’t a new post, but it was new to me so I figured I might as well post it.  It’s an informative post about the cost benefits and health benefits of preparing your own packages of instant flavored oatmeal.  YUM!

I found this article via Twitter too and I found it so inspiring.  Eleven and twelve-year olds running marathons?!  Is it good or bad?  I think it’s good!  Our bodies are meant to be active, after all!

Last but not least, I loved Angela’s post showcasing vegan recipes from around Blog World.  Included are recipes like a sweet potato tart, strawberry cupcakes, and couscous.  You won’t want to miss this!

Well, how did you like it?  Would you be interested if I started doing more of these?  Share your opinions! :-)

Questions of the Day:

  1. What was your favorite post in Blog World this week?  Feel free to leave links!
  2. What are your favorite oatmeal toppings?  I love nut butter, fruit, and cinnamon on mine!

Alrighty, now I have to go to bed.  School tomorrow!

Have a wonderful week!  :-P
