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
- Alicia from Culinary Bliss
- Mare from Just Making Noise
- Me!
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 from Last Week’s Submissions
We really enjoy reading your posts each week! Featured post bloggers, please grab the badge above and display it on your site! Link it to one of the host blogs’ posts for the specific week that you were featured.
Here are our picks from last week’s submissions. Thanks to all who participated — it is always hard to choose!
1. Goldfinch Nest in a Purple Loosestrife Plant by Tea Time With Annie Kate.
This blogger and her family set out to uproot this year’s growth of the purple loofestrife plant only to find a surprise among a 6 foot clump.
2. Chicory – Coffee substitute, forage plant, bitter green by Common Sense Homesteading.
Another “weed” gone good. Chicory can be used medicinally and as a coffee substitute.
3. Winter Garden: Care and Harvesting by Lizzard’s Hollow
Lizard’s Hollow continues with part 6 of her Winter Gardening series.
4. Do I Really Need to Soak My Grains? by The Table of Promise.
One author lets us know her opinion on the controversial topic of soaking grains.
5. Vinegar Facial Toner by The Purposed Heart.
“It has evened out my skin tone, minimized the size of my pores, smoothed out my skin’s texture, and regulated my skin’s oil production.” Sounds good to us!!
HI Diana,
I sahred my GF Blueberry Sunflower Cake and two articles I hope you enjoy!
I am THRILLED to be featured today!! Thank you so much for being so supportive as I seek to answer some tough questions. I have also listed a ‘Final Conclusions’ posts. So many readers commented last week and gave me additional information that I have refined my thoughts and…gulp…started a sourdough starter. We’ll see how it turns out!!
Thanks again!
Thanks so much for hosting! I shared a Watermelon Lemonade – Blended recipe. It’s so refreshing, hydrating and yummy. Thanks again.
Thanks to much for hosting and for selecting my post on chicory as a featured post. This week’s “weed” is Queen Anne’s lace, which is a lovely flower for crafts and a host plant for swallowtail butterflies.
My giveaway featuring three copies of Deep Nutrition ends Saturday, so there’s still time to sing up if people are interested.
This week with the huge food recall in the news, I’m featuring a post on how to protect yourself against salmonella, E coli and other food borne illness naturally.
