For The Love of Food
Welcome to Friday’s For The Love of Food, Summer Tomato’s weekly link roundup.
This week antibiotic resistant Salmonella is in your chicken, walking lowers cancer risk, and a frightening drop in women’s longevity.
Want to see all my favorite links? (There’s lots more). Be sure to follow me on on Delicious. I also share links on Twitter @summertomato, Google+ and the Summer Tomato Facebook page. I’m very active on all these sites and would love to connect with you. (And yes, I took that pepper heart pic myself).

Hi Darya! How are you?
For the babyfood, yes…puree and liquify whtever youre eating… no salt, pretty band in the begining…. It will come naturally…
The pancakes sound great… I’ll try them. But since they look a bit dense and heavy I’ll add baking powder to see if they lighten up as soft as pillows…
