Hi Sarah,
I’m fascinated by the way some diseases simply disappear when you start eating right. I linked to a post about an article that tells the story of how a young writer cured himself from very severe mental illness. It wasn’t even that difficult to make the change, but what results!

Thanks for hosting yet again!

Hey everyone! There’s been a fair bit of traffic through Sarah’s site about dental health and the effects of FCLO – I love the dialogue and thought that I could add this little bit about how we can advance our dental and overall health with these simple habits. Thanks for sharing and as always, I look forward to the learning! Be well.

I posted a recipe for an easy seasonal stir fry. It’s colorful, delicious, and nutritious… not to mention sustainable.

Andrea (From Seed to Stomach) July 25, 2011 at 9:20 am: Oh, and I posted a recipe for “cheezy” vegan kale chips. I was getting addicted to the expensive ones at the health food store that were like $7 for a few oz. You can make this recipe for the cost of a bunch of kale, a cup of raw cashews, and the spices you already have in your spice rack. A seasonal, sustainable, healthy snack!

Hi Sarah, my post today is about more ways to stretch your food dollars and supporting local farms: buying from farmer’s markets, food stands, and flea market vendors.

Sarah Smith July 25, 2011 at 9:25 am

I’ve shared a link to a food preservation spreadsheet (a great way to keep track of how much preserved food there is and how much gets used each month). I’ve also linked to my new favorite soup: Cheesy Beef and Vegetable Soup!

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for hosting again! I posted some information and recipes on Chia Seeds. Enjoy!

Hi Sarah, It’s always so great to see all the great articles and recipes that everyone shares on Mondays.

Lisa July 25, 2011 at 11:35 am

Thanks for hosting; I’m sharing a tasty summer muffin recipe using fresh organic peaches.

Emily July 25, 2011 at 12:07 pm

I shared a link to my article about squash vine borers, since it sort of relates to food and definitely relates to green living.

Katie @ CookGardenSew July 25, 2011 at 12:12 pm

I shared a recipe for fresh garden salsa – a quick and delicious way to use some of the garden bounty this summer!

Mindy July 25, 2011 at 12:30 pm

I posted my first link here and accidentally did it under my own name instead of the post name. Oops! The post is called “Jars, Jars Everywhere!” and is about all of the different items I make and store in glass jars.

Mindy July 25, 2011 at 12:33 pm

I also shared a post about starting GAPS intro.

Melissa @ Dyno-mom July 25, 2011 at 12:47 pm

This looks like a good week. Just looking through the list I see several things I am going to visit! Thanks for hosting, Sarah! This weekend I made fresh butter and butter from store bought UHP cream to show the difference. The post I linked to is not about nutrition, this week it is just about flavor, texture and quality.

Nikki @ Project: Family Cookbook July 25, 2011 at 12:51 pm

I have shared my mayo recipe! Thanks for hosting!

Connie July 25, 2011 at 1:12 pm

#43?

kara July 25, 2011 at 2:12 pm

Can’t wait to try many of these!

Joanna July 25, 2011 at 2:29 pm

Thanks for hosting, Sarah! I’m sharing my favorite way to eat green beans: with goat cheese and pine nuts! Oh my are they good.

Judy July 25, 2011 at 2:51 pm

Just posted Buttermilk Pancakes — GF! THE best pancakes I have had in a long time, GF or otherwise.

EMH July 25, 2011 at 3:00 pm

#19?

Holli July 25, 2011 at 3:38 pm

Thanks for hosting again – I shared how we survive sun burns and bug bites, because frankly I can’t avoid them all the time:)

Happy Monday! I shared a post on The Secret to Great Blog Design–with tips for making our real food and natural health blogs even better

Kristin July 25, 2011 at 4:37 pm

People often ask me how I get my vegetables clean – I do believe that healthy organic dirt is nothing to be afraid of but when cleaning veggies, don’t buy those sprays from the health food store, make your own!

Looking forward to reading others posts!

Natasha @ Saved by the Egg Timer July 25, 2011 at 6:10 pm

Hi all,

I posted a very healthy rendition of S.O.S

Thanks for hosting!
I’m sharing my technique for the easiest and most perfectly cooked brown or white rice, oven-baked rice.

Nancy July 25, 2011 at 8:38 pm

I’m not sure how to “report” a post but #19 has cool whip and a box of pudding in it. Clearly not a REAL FOOD recipe.

Audrey July 27, 2011 at 11:53 am

Starting to get a lot of non real food stuff in here again. From the first column the blueberry pie calls for Cool Whip and Instant pudding. The bacon avocado melt calls for artificial bacon! Haven’t looked any further
