Useful Links from Rachel

It’s my turn to share a few of my favorite links this week. Not the same kind of reading as you get from Thomas, but maybe somebody will enjoy these.

  • Death is Not Dying
    - I loved this talk by Rachel Barkey sharing about her hope in the midst of terminal cancer. I learned so much in such a brief talk, it is well worth the 55 minutes spent. Just listen.
  • Recipe Bridge – tons of recipes in one place. Search by ingredient or dish. I am really enjoying this site since we are flooded with produce. I found a recipe yesterday that used four different ingredients from our garden in one dish – it was delicious.
  • Granola Bars – I have tried several different granola bar recipes and I think I found a keeper (thanks, Geralyn.) I follow the recipe exactly, except I do not bake the bars, though I do toast the oats and nuts. Press your mix into your pan and let it cool completely before cutting. Nice chewy bars, full of flavor.
  • 30 Day Shred – I am a closet Biggest Loser fan. This workout video by Jillian Michaels (one of the trainers on the show) has gotten me into shape faster than any other workout program I have ever done. The workouts are only 20 minutes long, and there are three levels of workouts combining cardio, strength training and abs. You need some hand-weights, but you can’t beat $9 for such a great video.

    I love the Biggest Loser! I may just have to invest in that workout by Jillian to tone up a bit!
