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 (for the time being, due to hosts taking breaks)
- Wardeh from GNOWFGLINS
- Alicia from Culinary Bliss
- 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.

I added a recipe for Making Your Own Liquid Dishwasher Detergent. Sorry there isn’t an image, the Linky tool said my file was too big, although iphoto says it is not. I’ll have to do some work on figuring out the resizing.

Thank you so much for featuring my home butchering post from last week! Today I’m sharing my brand new recipe for homemade fish sticks. 🙂 Thanks for hosting!
Andrea @Andreas Kitchen says
Happy Thursday Diana! I am sharing my recipe for Garnet Yam Crisp with Dried Cherries and Coconut. This recipe is super healthy and has minimal added sugar. We love to eat this crisp for breakfast because it fills you up without being too heavy. My recipe is gluten free, but it can be made with “regular” flour if you don’t have issues with gluten.
Thanks for hosting!

Thank you for co-hosting this link-up! I shared Quinoa Pudding, an old fashioned, slow-baked pudding sweetened with maple syrup and raisins.
I would also like to share a post written for Occupy Our Food Supply’s Blogger day of Action. I called it, “I Dedicate my Kitchen,” because the best way we can support humane and sustainable farmers is to buy their goods.

Thanks so much for hosting. I shared a Cinnamon-Thyme Tea recipe, a great natural remedy for colds, flu, sore throat, coughs, immune boosting, etc. Thanks again.

Thanks for hosting! I shared a recipe for Real Food chocolate cake – which won’t make anyone cringe – you (because of the ingredients) or your guests (because of the taste and texture!) I made this for my daughter’s birthday tonight, to rave reviews!

You know what else makes me happy? your linky party! This week i’ve linked up my recipe adaptation for braising greens & caramelized onion tacos. Talk about West coast Winter food!

Thanks for hosting, of course!
This week I’ve come across an interesting video by Chipotle (love or hate them?) – about pork! Well, pigs rather.
I. Love. Pigs!
