It’s Simple Lives Thursday! My favorite day of the week where you share your tips and recipes for living a simple life. Below you’ll find the linky to add your post to.
Please read and follow the Simple Lives Thursday bloghop rules
1. If linking real, traditional and simple recipes, please make sure all ingredients used are whole. Such as whole grains, vegetables, legumes, meats, even sugar. In order to keep the integrity of “nourishing” food, we will delete any recipes that utilize processed, boxed foods. We are definitely not going to be ingredient policeman, however, please note that this is a hop hosted by advocates of the real, local and sustainable food movements.
2. Please link your posts back to one of the hosting blogs. This is a common blog hop courtesy. This link helps build the Simple Lives Thursday community by sending your readers to all of the other participants posts. We all end up sharing and learning from each other.
Featured Posts – The hosts will be choosing five posts from the previous SLT to highlight each week. Those chosen will be promoted and linked on all five host blogs. As a highlighted post you will also have the chance to win in special giveaways that we will be starting soon — another great reason to link up and share all that you do to live a simple and intentional life!

The posts from last week that really caught our eyes are… (thanks everyone for the great submissions, as always!)

Happy Thursday! I shared my recipe for Southwest Rainbow Bean Salad. This salad has lots of great flavors and is really healthy.
Thanks for hosting!
Thanks for hosting, Diana, and thanks for featuring my post on “pesticide chips”. Blogger is giving me issues again, so I haven’t been able to link back on the post I just put up this week about rain barrels, but will do so shortly.
The rain barrel post shows my rain barrels, plus it features a how to video as well. I hope your readers find it useful.
Thanks for hosting! Every week I’m able to learn something and find a couple of recipes to treat my family.
Did a little more digging on the GMO front, as well as the official FDA stance on food rights and food labeling. I think I need to enlarge the garden, but it’s been so wet and cold I can’t get what I have planted!
Did you know that the FDA has said:
“There is no absolute right to consume or feed children any particular food.”
“There is no ‘deeply rooted’ historical tradition of unfettered access to foods of all kinds.”
Good grief!
