Hi Sarah,
I linked up my favorite kale recipe. I’m always trying to eat more of this cancer fighting, anti-inflammatory food. Thanks again for hosting Monday Mania – I always look forward to seeing the new ideas you bring together through your blog.

Thanks for doing this again, Sarah. I have linked my super simple coconut milk recipe. There is a more complicated way to get real coconut milk and even coconut flour from the same process, but this is the “easy peasy” way to do it and make more time for other things. My kind of “make your own” technique. Hope you and your readers like it!

I have so enjoyed reading your posts and even put one up on my facebook fan page this past week. I so appreciate the opportunity to network with like minded bloggers.

Happy Monday! I hope the idea that soda is bad and that it should be abandoned is old news to most everyone but here’s yet another reason to avoid the stuff like the plague. If it’s brown, flush it down…guess this applies to soda as well! ha.ha. Thanks for reading and thanks for sharing. Looking forward to reading everyone’s posts.

Today’s post is our favorite version’s of granola–living (raw) version…as well a baked version. Very, very yummy! Much more frugal, and healthy to make your own then to purchase it in the store. Hope you all enjoy!

Another great week of hosting Sarah. I wanted to share a natural version of Red Velvet Cake made with roasted shredded beets instead of that horrendous red food coloring. The earthiness of beet to dark deep chocolate is a perfect fudgy match. I look forward to everyone’s post!

Hi Sarah! Today I am sharing my new recipe for Banana Walnut Cookies. This recipe is gluten free, but can be made with “regular” flour if you don’t have an issue with gluten.
This recipe has cinnamon chips in it – I had never used them before. Yum!

Hi Sarah,

Today I posted a recipe for scones. The scones are so quick to make if you have food processor and the kids really enjoy them. It is a great way to use up some raw milk that might have soured. Often I make a double batch of the dry ingredients and save one batch in the refrigerator, then a couple a days later it is so easy to make a batch of scones for cold hungry kids. What a treat with some homemade hot chocolate.

I am a new blogger but I am really enjoying the connections I am making. I plan on doing some serious crusing here during naptime for the little ones. I linked up to my blender omelet recipe because it is wicked fast and I make breakfast (or lunch) for ten kids in just ten minutes or so. I give milk and fruit to round it out and it is the highlight of the week when we have these! Thanks for hosting!

Hi Sarah,
Thanks for hosting!
I’m sharing a recipe for my family’s favorite salad, Caeser Salad. I put plenty of anchovies and extra cream in the dressing – croutons optional. Plus if you need a dairy free version the dressing is just as delicious without the cream and Parmesan.

Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist February 28, 2011 at 9:55 pm

Hi Mama Kelly, unfortunately, I had to remove this entry as TVP (textured vegetable protein) is loaded with MSG and anti-nutrients such as phytic acid and is a very very highly processed food. It does not qualify as “Real Food”.

Mama Kelly aka Jia February 28, 2011 at 10:06 pm

I replaced the recipe with a crockpot lentil and rice dish that had no processed ingredients. My apologies.

Hi,
I am so sorry, but I am #’s 67 AND 68. When I did #67 I forgot to put the name of the recipe. So I listed it again. I would delete #67 if I could. Please feel free to delete it if you have the time. This carnival is a great idea! Thanks!
