Welcome to Sunday School!
"Welcome aboard! We're all off to Sunday School!" 😉
I’m so excited for this! As I announced last week, we will be hosting our very first blog carnival today, in addition to sharing links from our favorite recent blog posts (similarly to What I’ve Learned Wednesday)!
Sunday School is a time to teach, learn, share, and reflect on all that is Real Food blogland. I’ll start by posting my usual blurbs and links to my latest favorite blog posts, followed by featured submissions to the carnival, then opening it up for links!
Lesson Notes: Links from Real Food Bloggers
Six Ways to Eat Healthy on a Budget: Lots of families these days are turning to couponing for cutting down their grocery bills and living more frugally. But what do you do when you live a lifestyle that has no use for $0.05 boxes of cereal or free fudgsicles? Adrienne of Whole New Mom shows us easy ways to make the most of a real food budget — without clipping a single coupon!
Animal and Microbial Rennets 101: I’ll be honest. The only thing I knew about rennet before reading this post by Clabbermouth was that it was used to make cheese. I had absolutely no idea that it can come from the stomach of a calf — and I definitely didn’t know that most commercial cheese makers use a microbial type of rennet made from genetically engineered bacteria, fungi, and yeasts. Geez! Guess I’ll be buying cheese organic from now on.
Dehydrating Apples for Apple Chips: I’ve been putting off attempting dehydrating foods simply because I don’t yet have a dehydrating machine. But you know what I do have lots of? Sun! In this post (complete with a fun video tutorial), Jeanie Rose of Traditional Foods teaches how to make your own dehydrated apple chips, and she isn’t afraid to use a driveway, porch, or rooftop to get the job done!
Teachers of the Week!
Coming next week to Sunday School, I’ll be plugging my top picks from this week’s blog carnival submissions, so be sure to submit your posts for a chance to be featured here! I will also “like” your blog on Facebook and tag you when I link to Sunday School from the B.B. page!
Show & Tell — It’s Blog Hop Time!
Classroom Rules:
- Please only link to posts covering Real Food/ healthy lifestyle-related topics. In my eyes, this includes nourishing recipes, articles about (real!) nutrition, tutorials, discussions of food politics, homesteading, tips and tricks for keeping a green, healthy home, and other healthy, holistic living topics! If you’re a B.B. subscriber, you know that I myself don’t only blog about food — sometimes I write about pretty random things — but it all relates to simple, healthy living that goes against the grains of conventional wisdom.
- If you do post a recipe, please don’t include any fake or weird, chemically ingredients! No vegetable oils, processed sugar, white flours (well, maybe here and there is okay, even Sally uses all-purpose flour for pie crust sometimes), hydrolyzed soy protein, powdered eggs/whey/protein/ANYTHING, low-fat fakeness, or other non-real “food” product ingredients! If you’re unsure what Real Food is all about, just poke around this site and the ones listed on my blogroll, and you’ll start to see. Or just raise your hand and someone will call on you! (email or comment.) 😉
- Please update your post with a link back to this Sunday School post, so your readers can get in on all the learnin’ going on here! A simple, “This post is linked to Sunday School at Butter Believer!” is perfect. Just blog carnival courtesy, is all!
- I can’t imagine having to do so, but if our rules aren’t followed by certain links, I guess I’ll have to delete them. I’m sure everyone is more than capable of playing nice, though!
Congrats on your first blog carnival! They are super fun! Thanks for allowing us to share on your site!
Thanks, Jen!! I’m so excited!
Emily,
Thanks so much for featuring my mom’s dehydrated apple project. Indeed, we’ve had fruit leather, raisins, tomatoes, peaches, and more right on our roof top. 🙂
Amanda
Haha! Love it! Thanks so much for participating, Amanda!
Hi Emily,
Thanks for hosting – for #9 I meant to write the title of the post, “Why You Should Care About Food Policy.”
I interviewed Judith McGeary (will be speaking at the Weston Price Conference) about current and past food legislation, her take on the Rawesome food raid and what we each need to be doing to make a difference.
Oh gosh, I hate it when blog carnival forms put “Name” instead of “Post Title” or something — I have done the same thing a number of times and then my link just says “Emily.” Haha! I’ll see if I might be able to edit your link. It sounds like an awesome post! I’m gonna go read it. Thank you for participating, Lisa!
Congratulations to your first carnival!
I’m sharing how to make your own inexpensive facial toner and I hope it qualifies to be listed. What you put on your body is just as important as eating real food.
Have a great day!
Absolutely! Thank you so much, Jo!!
Sunday School–clever name! I love it!
Hehe thanks Lori! Glad to have your post up on here!
Hi Emily,
Exciting! A new real food carnival. Slowly but surely we’ll get the message out there that real food is really good!
Bless you,
Emma
Thank you very much, Emma! Yes, we are a powerful bunch and if we keep doing our job and spreading the word about real nutrition, it can really make a difference! 🙂
Silly me put my name instead of the name of the post on my link! *head smack* Is there any way to fix it? Can I instead name #15 “Letting Go of Fear”?
Oh man I wish they would put “Post Title” instead of “Name!” I’ve totally done the same thing on other carnivals.
I did find a way to fix it! I edited yours and Lisa’s to the correct title. 🙂
Hi Emily! Thanks for hosting… Love your site. I’ve shared 4 New Food Groups All Kids Should Eat… A popular post that let’s parents relax a bit if their youngsters refuse green veggies as long as they are getting saturated fat, bone broth, cultured veggies, and local, seasonal produce.

Are you going to Dallas next month? If so, I look forward to meeting you then! 🙂 Emily
Hi Emily! Thank you so much!! What a great post, thanks for sharing! Those are definitely super important foods for growing kids. I’m so glad I am learning about all this now before we have little ones of our own — I feel so much better prepared to raise healthy, happy kids when our time comes!
Gosh I wish SO so badly I were going to the WAPF conference, but I won’t be able to this year. Definitely making it a priority to go next year! Hope you have a great time!
Thanks so much for the link! I’m so glad you liked it. I just entered my follow-up post, about true vegetable rennets.
And I did make the mistake of entering my name instead of the name of the post. Should say something like “Rennet 102: True Vegetable Rennets.” Oops!
Hi Emily,
Hope it’s okay I’m joining the carnival late 🙂 I shared a nourishing, delicious and easy recipe for polenta!
Glad to have your post up on here! Indeed, we’ve had fruit leather, raisins, tomatoes, peaches, and more right on our roof top.
