Hi Jill, I posted 4 this week (and I think Leslie has some more). I have an article on the locavore movement, Cherry almond granola recipe, squash porridge recipe, and the republication of your coconut crepes — which are super delicious!
Hi! This week I’ve shared my Post about roasting parsnips and a Beetroot, Apple, Carrot and Walnut Salad recipe to celebrate the unusual warm weather we’re experiencing in the UK at the moment. Thank you for hosting!
My post this week is about the school lunch incident that outraged so many. The government is trying to make sure that all school children eat the same kind of lunch to ensure good nutrition, but one size never fits all.
When It Comes to Food, “One Size Fits All” Fits Nobody
Hey Jill,
Following Jen with recipes for stuffed cube steak and maple roasted veggies w/ bacon and cayenne. Also, a “round up” of sorts. Thanks!
Hi Jill, thanks for hosting! I’ve included my Coconut Almond Candy Clusters. This was a happy mistake – one of my “failures” when trying to make the Coconut Pecan Frosting.

Pastured poultry is nutrient dense but can be tough. Brining it results in a moist and tender bird.

Thanks for hosting.
I shared a delicious and hearty vegetable minestrone and some simple and tasty kale chips.
Happy Tuesday,
This week I am sharing a very sweet, decadent, vegan, cane-sugar free treat that will seriously knock your socks off! Coffee flavored, maple sweetened coconut whipped cream (or mousse). Everyone that has tried this claims it tastes like a mousse or pudding, but it can also be used as a whipped cream or icing for cake/cupcakes.
It’s sooo good!
Have a great week.
Be Well,
–Amber
Oh, and I also shared some super easy marinara sauce and a funny video!

Hi Jill,

I shared our Menu Plans vs. Reality post. I had the best of intentions when I made my meal plan for the week, but things didn’t go as, well, planned. But it turned out ok! Even though I didn’t stick to the plan, I was still glad I had one.
Thanks for hosting, Jill!
I posted a how-to for CASHEW CREAM, my favorite vegan alternative for dairy in creamy soups. It also makes a great base for dips and desserts and is really EASY to make with 2 ingredients: raw cashews and water. I also include a bunch of recipes using Cashew Cream in the post.
I have shared a post about how to do a healthy pantry and kitchen makeover. I’ve created an eBook that will guide you through a complete kitchen and
pantry makeover, which can be downloaded for FREE on my website. It’s kinda like
taking a personal tour of my kitchen and pantry! It is really good for newbies,
but you may find tips there as well.
Enjoy!
Love all the fun ideas! I posted my quick and easy homemade almond milk.

Hi Jill! I put up a post about babywearing, a super healthy protein bar recipe perfect for teen”s lunch boxes or as a well deserved snack after a work-out. I also put up best natural cold remedy foods as we all know someone who has the snuffles and finaly, 3 tried and tested recipes for soothing baby’s butt. One is a barrier cream, the second, a baby wipe solution and the third, a healing salve along with a short tutorial on how to make calendula oil . Those of you who have made my healing salve or lip balms will probably have most of the ingredients to hand already!
Some of you may know I also host a linky,-although still in its early days- and am seeking even more wonderful creative women to come and share their beautiful posts there too! It’s called Seasonal Celebration and can be found at Natural Mothers Network http://naturalmothersnetwork.com

This week I’ve posted on 13 Ways to Create a Sustainable Food System. Consumer demand is simply not enough to stop the destruction of our planet and our health by industrial agriculture. Here’s a more comprehensive approach.
