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!

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.

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.

Hi Diana,

yay! i’m seeing it now. I checked all the hostesses, too.
Thanks for hosting, Diana. Today I linked up a post on canning crabapples, but the recipes will work for standard apples, too. There are cinnamon-honey and spiced apples, as well as applesauce and fruit leather. As a bonus, the leftover juice/syrup from the honey-cinnamon apples makes a great kombucha flavoring.

Hey I just found your site! And I like this blog hop idea. I haven’t posted any recipes recently but I have a few that I need to post on my personal blog. I have to eat mostly unprocessed anyway since I’m allergic to soy and most grains mess with my blood sugar too much, but I’ve been experimenting with some new stuff. I’ll try and remember this next Thursday
This morning I’m trying out grain-free blueberry muffins, so we’ll see how they go.

Diana,
I’m VERY late to the party this week!! With hubby home this week it’s totally throwing me off.

Hope you have a GREAT weekend!!
