The Weekender [Sugar turns me on]

Happy Saturday! I hope your weekend has been wonderful so far!

I’ll fill you in on some of my weekend happenings, plus a new thing I’m going to try this week, but you’ll have to wait for the next post. In the meantime, check out some of my favorite reads from the past week.

• Ashley’s post with her dog’s text bubbles made me laugh out loud. Hard.

• Heather gave some great tips on how to save money at Whole Foods. I should have reread this before I went tonight.

• Kath posted a link to a great Dr. Oz [via Oprah] article about sugar and the diabetes epidemic in America. My favorite quote from the article because it’s true and funny: Sugar often becomes an addiction, Dr. Oz says. “When you go to a store to buy food, when you go to a supermarket, to a restaurant, and you get a little bit of sugar, it stimulates the same part of your brain as crack cocaine,” he says. “It just turns you on.”

• Mama Pea created a vegan Rocky Road ice cream; I can’t wait to try it.

• I just discovered and starting following Choosing Raw. This blog rocks; so informative, not extreme, and great writing.

I’m off to eat some dinner and hang with the hubbers. Talk to you later!
