My Top 12 List of Favorite Health and Fitness Blogs, Podcasts, and Websites

I love to learn new things and one of the many great things about being in health and fitness is that there are always lots of new things to learn about! Podcasts have become a real favorite way for me to keep up with things because you can listen as you cook, walk or commute.

I was asked to share some of my favorite food blogs, websites and podcasts and it was hard to narrow the list down to just twelve but I did it and here they are.

Minimalist Baker

Minimalist Baker is a website devoted to simple cooking. All recipes require 10 ingredients or less, 1 bowl or 1 pot, or 30 minutes or less to prepare. Recipes are plant-based and gluten-free.  Contrary to the name, you can find lots of tasty recipes for soups, entrée’s and salads along with yummy baked goods.  This is one of my absolute favorite sources for new recipes. Minimalist Baker web site

Thug Kitchen

Whenever I go to the Thug Kitchen web site or crack open one of their cookbooks, I instantly want to put on a faux leather jacket, ripped jeans and some bad ass boots.  This is THE most entertaining food blog out there and their recipes are all plant-based.  If you are at all offended by profanity you may want to avoid it but if you do, you will miss out on some fantastic recipes.  Personally I think we can take healthy eating a little too seriously and especially those of us who are vegan so Thug Kitchen is a fu*king breath of fresh air. http://www.thugkitchen.com
