"Welcome aboard! We're all off to Sunday School!" 😉
Hey everyone! Welcome back to Sunday School! This is our weekly 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
Freezer Cooking: Homemade Hash Browns and French Fries: Are you still buying packaged potato products from the freezer aisle? No need for that! See how easy and frugal it is to make and freeze your own convenient tasty taters from Nourishing the Heart!
Wild Fish and a Healthy Omega 3 to Omega 6 Ratio: A great quick look at what the nutritional differences are between farmed and wild-caught fish from Traditional Foods. But there’s more to our fish buying choices than just this important balance of key omega fatty acids. Is wild fish always better? Amanda also shares an interesting link to a very informative site on the issue.
3-Minute Ice Cream: Hard to believe, I know, but KerryAnn from Cooking Traditional Foods is so not kidding with this one! You really can make delicious banana peanut butter and/or chocolate ice cream in just minutes, without an ice cream machine! Magical.
Teachers of the Week!
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!
Easy Overnight Fruit Leather by Becky’s Stockpot: Oh my goodness! Fruit leather is probably one of my all-time favorite packaged (processed) foods. Who knew a healthy homemade version could be this simple? And, bonus — no dehydrator required!
Top 5 Frugal Tips by Stacy Makes Cents: Check it out, you guys — one of our blogging friends is basically a celebrity!! See this clip of Stacy on TV, sharing some of her best tips! Awesome.
Is cooking real food too difficult? by Ruth’s Real Food. I love, love LOVE the way that Ruth addresses this most common complaint of people hesitant to begin a real food lifestyle. “Truth is, it does take more time and effort to drop 2 eggs in a pan with butter and fry them up than to put a box of cereal on the table. Not much more, but more.” Ha!
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 includesnourishing 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!
Sorry– tired this morning– put my name instead of Grain Free Lemon Cranberry Coconut Muffins! Aye…

WOOT!!! I’m so excited you chose me! 🙂 Thanks Emily!!!!
Aw! 😀 I was so excited to see you on TV!! That was sooo so cool! Also can I just say that I big time *heart* your accent — nothing like that southern charm! 🙂

Hey! You featured my post. Thanks. I’m so glad you liked it!
And thanks for hosting too.
Yeah!! Thanks, Ruth! I love your blog. And that post was so cool, especially with story of the couple who had the easy-going, super healthy baby. Nutrition really does make all the difference!
Hi Emily! Posted three this week. My part one in the series Big FAT Lies, some new things I am trying for dog food and pet remedies, and my new pet peeve with Foie Gras . . . 🙂
Hi Emily, thanks for letting me know about your carnival! I’ve posted my lamb kofta recipe…..but I don’t blame you for not wanting to eat lamb know that you have a litte lamb, they’re just so cute right!
This is my first linky with you! http://www.homesteaddryingracks.com/1/post/2011/07/gmo.html
This post is on yucky GMOs and why they are bad for you. Sorry, I put my name down instead of the title”GMO”
Yay! Welcome, Abby Jo! So glad to have your link here. I fixed the name — sorry that form is confusing!
Hi, I found a link to your blog through a blog carnival a while back. I’ve really been enjoying it! 🙂
I recently started a blog, and I’m still trying to figure everything out. I linked to my post “Raw Milk Part 2.”
Thanks!!
–Corryn
Hi, Corryn! Thanks so much, and thanks for joining us here today! Can’t wait to read your post, raw milk is such a huge issue for all of us!
Thanks for featuring my post on homemade hash browns and french fries!
Hi,
I just discovered your carnival! How cool!
I shared my Cranapple Sauce. I also shared an article about the Challenge part of the Grain-Free Challenge and the Win for the Raw Milk Freedom Riders!
Thanks for hosting!
So glad to have you here, Jill! Thank you so much for coming and participating — those posts sound great! Gonna go check them out right now. 🙂
Thanks for hosting, Emily, and for featuring one of my posts! I posted a bone broth power drink idea and a profile for canned salmon, a great, budget-friendly solution for good eating.
Hi Amanda! Thanks so much for participating again! I saw the bone broth drink post the other day, that just looks so good, makes me want to buy a juicer even more! I’ll have to go read about the canned salmon — I have a recipe planned that calls for it and it would be great to know more about its nutrition profile.
Welp, I put my name in the wrong slot and how you can’t see the name to my recipe! Oh well 🙂 Today I wrote about a lovely hors d’oeuvre that I call Smoked Salmon & Herb Cheese Pinwheels. Enjoy!
