Featured Posts from Last Week’s Submissions
For our featured posts, please grab the badge above and display it on your site! Link it to one of the host blogs’ posts for that specific week that you were featured.
1. Cooking With Heritage Breed Chickens by Homemade Alaska.
This is a great guide on raising heritage breed chickens for meat as people did in days past.
2. Lavender Vinegar by The Purposed Heart.
At least one of us, and probably more, can’t wait to try this as a rinse for laundry AND hair. So simple and easy!
3. Canning CSA & Zucchini Relish by Little Blog on the Prairie.
A great recipe and fantastic concept!
4. Homemade Bag Balm by Prairie Sunrise.
Marg decided to make her own bag balm to save money and avoid petroleum based commercial bag balms. She says it was easy and cheap and we believe it!

Jo covers a broad range of natural treatments for mild to severe varicose veins.
The Simple Lives Thursday Blog Hop
It’s Simple Lives Thursday! My favorite day of the week where you share your tips and recipes for living a simple life. Whichever blog that you choose to link up your post, it will show up on all 5 sites! As a reminder, this blog hop is a way to share with many people your posts on what you are doing to live a simple life. Whether that’s gardening, raising urban chickens, homeschooling, sewing, making your own deodorant, or cleaning supplies… we want to know about it! If you’re into homeopathy, ways to save $ by conserving energy or other ways to live frugally… we want to know about it! If you bike, cook real food, homestead or farm… we want to know about it!
Your Hosts
- Annette from Sustainable Eats
- Wardeh from GNOWFGLINS

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.

Hi Diana, Thanks for hosting. What a great line up of articles and recipes. I’m sharing my recipe for a meal or appy that I make for my friends with multiple food allergies.
