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. Crockpot Pizza Sauce by Stacy Makes Cents.
Batch cooking pizza sauce in the crockpot = almost no work + great rewards!
2. Shopping for Seeds at the Farmers Market by City Sister Country Sister.
Saving seeds doesn’t have to be difficult, and it doesn’t have to be from your own garden. This blogger finds her seeds in their edible form at the farmer’s market.
3. Sights and Sounds of the Produce Auction by juliecache.
A frugal way to buy locally produced produce in bulk to preserve.
4. Homemade Chicken Pot Pie by The Purposed Heart.
Delicious & nourishing… this author whipped up a feast for her son’s one year birthday and was still able to enjoy the party instead of spending the whole time in the kitchen!
5. 10 Ways to Eat Coconut Oil by How to Peel an Onion.
Great list on adding coconut oil to your diet.

I love a hot cup of coffee in the morning. Spanish and Mexican food live in my corazón. I love to sit at a bar in Spain with nothing to do but breathe in the Spanish air. I love listening to my children laugh and to teach them new things. I love to play in the dirt and have an insatiable appetite to create. Most importantly, I love Jesus and am on a journey to living a simple life.

Thanks for hosting! I accidently linked up my newest recipe, Cake Batter Candy Bars, that contains a spoonful of cake mix – when I meant to link up Baked Parmesan Tomatoes. So, both of them are up right now. Could you please delete the Cake Batter Bars? I can’t find an option to do it myself.
Thanks again!!
