Hey everyone, welcome back to Sunday School! This is our weekly time for bloggers to come to link up their posts and teach us about real food and healthy living. I learn something new every week!
Teachers of the Week
Here are our featured posts from last week‘s Sunday School! Bloggers, be sure to submit your posts to the carnival 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, and I’ll submit your post to StumbleUpon (a great way to get more traffic to your site)!
Buying and Raising Chickens, by The Lone Home Ranger: What a timely post! PH is hard at work developing plans for a chicken coop for us so we can finally have our long-awaited laying hens. Learn from an experienced (egg-sperienced?! Har, har…) chicken keeper how to care for your flock if you go the route of buying chicks to be raised, from box to backyard.
The Stevia Project: Weeding Out the “Sweet-Talkers,” by Gaia Health Blog. This is a fantastic little exposé on the real deal behind all those so-called stevia sweeteners. Are you using an actual, natural stevia extract? Or is it a genetically-modified corn derivative laced with a chemically-extracted fake version of the sweet herb (manufactured by subsidiaries of Cargill and Monsanto, no less!)?
Tapping Your Thymus Gland to Stimulate Your Immune System, by Learning and Yearning. Do you thump your thymus? Do you have any clue what the heck that means? Yeah me neither. Until I read this post, and discovered that tapping the location of your thymus gland can actually boost your immunity and prevent you from getting sick. Thumps up!
Show & Tell — It’s Blog Hop Time!
Classroom Rules:
- Please only link to posts covering real rood or 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!
Thanks for the feature of my Stevia Post. I love to “deep dive” into those topics. It’s such a shame how they try to fool us, even when try to to do the right thing.
I’m honored that you would feature my post on “Thumping Your Thymus”! Thank you. I’m passionate about nutrient dense food, but our cooking methods sometimes need to be adjusted. This week I’ve posted an article on brining chicken to keep it moist and tender.

Hi Emily! Thanks for featuring the “buying and raising chickens” post. I’m glad you enjoyed it. This week I’m sharing what I’ve been feeding my little girls recently. Hopefully it will give inspiration to fellow parents of littles: http://www.lonehomeranger.com/2012/02/whats-for-dinner.html

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.
I am also sharing my latest REAL FOOD 101 post, all about how to make yogurt. Learn how to work with raw milk to make raw yogurt, as well as how to make 24-hour GAPS yogurt that is completely free of lactose from the culturing process.

Thanks so much for hosting! I’m so excited to have found this carnival 🙂 I shared a Roasted Spaghetti Squash w/ Green Garlic, Brown Butter & Parmesan recipe. The green garlic adds a wonderful, mild, garlic flavor. It’s so yummy! Thanks again.
