My post is about a tiny fruit that is excellent at displacing fluoride. Prunes are ridiculously high in boron and easy to snack on. They get a bad rap here in the United States but they are revered next to chocolate in places like France (just Google “pruneaux d’Agen” to see what I mean).

Happy Halloween! I shared an easy recipe for Roasted Spicy Sweet Potatoes…but Blogger is not letting me add a link back on my site. This has never happened before..not sure if it has to do with the fact that I’m working on an iPad today? I’ll keep trying!

I hope everyone has great plans for tonight! We are getting together with some friends and all the kids are excited.

Fiber Rich Chicken, Barley and Butternut Squash Soup
It’s officially fall and there’s something quite special about a big pot of soup cooking on the stove top. What I adore about this flavorful chicken soup is that it’s not only delicious, it’s so healthy. The barley adds an amazing amount of fiber along with the squash and the carrots, squash, celery and onions are loaded with vitamins. The skinny for 1 cup is 142 calories, 1 gram of fat, 5 grams of fiber and 3 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS. It’s so hearty you can serve this as main course soup. http://www.skinnykitchen.com/recipes/fiber-rich-chicken-barley-and-butternut-squash-soup/
nancy@skinnykitchen.com\’s last post: Fabulous, Skinny Tamale Pie
This soup looks pretty tasty, but have you thought about using homemade broth instead of store bought? You really up the nutritional value by using homemade. And also using a pastured bird instead of boneless, skinless breast meat? I know you’re going for the skinny angle, but adding alittle more fat really helps with mineral absorption and helps your body in fighting off pathogens that seem to be more prevalent this time of year.
Thanks for hosting!
This is my first time linking here, and I am excited to share my real food recipe for Blueberry Nectarine Granola. While I love the tastes of fall, I’m already missing the summer fruits!
I posted a link about kombucha tea!

Thanks for hosting the Monday Mania Sarah. I linked to my post about a recent article on MSNBC – about 5 “Bad” foods we should be eating. Of course every one of those foods I’ve been eating for the longest time without side effects, because they are really all good foods.
Enjoy!

I may not celebrate Halloween, but I shared a rather ‘scary’ topic in today’s blog hop–infant circumcision. Thanks for hosting!

Hi Sarah! Thanks for hosting. I dislike junk as much as the next Real Foodie, but I’ve share my post entitled “4 Reasons to Let Your Kid Eat Junk This Halloween” because I think that occasionally letting the pendulum swing in the other direction creates children who appreciate Real Food all the more.

Hope you had a happy Halloween, and I look forward to meeting you in Dallas in a few weeks!
