Welcome back to Simple Lives Thursday – a time where we share simple living tips, tricks and projects that we have going.
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.

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.

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!

Thanks for hosting, Annette. Today I linked up my Weekly Weeder post on Common Milkweed. Did you know that almost every part of it is edible, and that the seed pods were gathered by children during WWII to fill life preservers? There’s a lot more to this simple plant than people realize.
Thanks for linking back Laurie! That’s fascinating they used it to fill life preservers. I know my goats love it so we bring them to them. Isn’t it also the preferred food of the monarch butterfly?
