Fooducate has 10 reasons to eat kiwifruit this week (my God, that's an embarrassing edit: the antecedent for “this week” is “has”, not “eat”), and a list of five tips for keeping weight off after you lose it. Grist covers Grapery's “Cotton Candy” grape cultivar: slightly higher sugar level than most grapes, very low acidity, and aromatics that mean they really do taste like cotton candy: Grist suggests they may be “a gateway drug to kids eating more fresh fruit”. I've seen them at AJ's Fine Foods in past years: frankly I prefer “Sweet Celebration” but YMMV.
A group of people on Kickstarter are soliciting donations to start making something they're calling “100% Sugar-Free Juice”. And how does one go about making juice “sugar-free”, I hear you asking? Why, by taking out everything that makes it juice, leaving only the water. Bottle the water – in what we're assured is a “long and elegant, smooth and sophisticated” bottle, “sculpted to fit perfectly in the average woman's hand” – and you get “Koa Organic Water”, soon (they hope) to be available at a store near you for what I can only surmise will be a decidedly non-trivial price.
Appropriately for this month's Weight Watchers routine, the NYT covers a new study about reasons losing sleep makes it harder to lose weight. (WW would have to choose this routine the week of the Perseid Meteor Shower!) And Summer Tomato has how to break the late-night-snack habit, and seven reasons not to think “I'll start eating healthy, just as soon I've lost some weight on this DIET!”
Recipes! At Chow.com three dozen “cold dishes for hot weather” (caution: there are a fair percentage of creamy salads), a set of “veggie sides and salads” for a cookout, a video on how to make a workplace lunch actually interesting, and twenty-six tomato recipes ranging from the pretentiously elaborate (a fresh-tomato-and-cheese tart with goat and ricotta cheeses and a balsamic reduction) to the elegantly simple (heirloom tomatoes, good vinegar, olive oil, fresh herbs). Simply Recipes has tomatoes too, in a delicious-looking pasta dish. Sprouted Kitchen and Smitten Kitchen both have kale-salad recipes, although Deb at Smitten freely admits she's the one who said “the world would be a better place if we could all stop pretending that kale tastes good”. And Snack Girl has workouts, lunchbox snacks, coconut oil, and a reasonable substitute for fried rice under 200 calories.
