Announcement… please re-read the simple guidelines for submission (below) so you can be sure your post matches the spirit and theme of this blog hop. Please do not submit giveaway posts. Also, please remember to link your post to one of the host blogs!

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 4 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

  1. Annette from Sustainable Eats
  2. Wardeh from GNOWFGLINS
  3. Alicia from Culinary Bliss
  4. 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.

3. No giveaway away or otherwise primarily advertising oriented posts. Keep your topics to fit our simple living theme of “consume less, produce more.” We will delete posts that don’t fit.

    Good morning! Thank you for hosting this link-up!

    It sure is cold here in Iowa this week. A French-Canadian dish, poutine, came to my mind over the weekend. The traditional version, generally purchased from an outside vender, is fries, cheese curds and gravy. Our Veggie Poutine is a healthier take on the original, using a rich mushroom gravy and fresh-cut, oven baked russet potatoes. While gluten free and low sodium, it tastes every bit as sinful as the original.

    Linky parties are the shit, aren’t they?? 🙂

    This week I’ve linked up my endive “Cup” risotto balls – that’s right. I took everything that goes into an endive cup and pimped it out with cheesy, carbohydrate goodness 😉 It may not be healthy but the ingredients are real, whole, and in moderation, a little real, whole junk food never hurt anybody 😉

    Thank you so much for hosting!

    Thanks for hosting, Diana.

    Today I linked up a post about getting started with home canning: http://www.commonsensehome.com/getting-started-with-home-canning/

    A lot of people are intimidated by canning, but it’s really fairly straightforward. If you can cook, you can can. 🙂

    Just found your blog through the blog hop — I was intrigued by your blog name! I studied abroad in Spain (Salamanca) for a semester and absolutely loved the people and the food. Traveled all over on the weekends/holidays and absolutely loved Sevilla and all of Andalucia. I just made a fritatta with potatoes and onions the other day that was the closest I’ve ever come to the Spanish tortilla (had no idea what a fritatta was before or that it was a close cousin of Spain’s tortilla)! I look forward to checking out your Spanish recipes!
