The Hearth and Soul Hop Link Party
Welcome to the January 11th edition of the Hearth and Soul Hop. The Hearth and Soul Hop is a ‘no rules’ link party and we welcome any family friendly posts as well as, of course, food from the hearth to feed your soul.

Veganuary on AprilJHarris.com
It’s not just January, it’s also Veganuary! It’s not too late to join in! To find out more, just click on the link. Although I’m not taking on the challenge to eat like a vegan for a month completely, I am endeavouring to serve my family lots more vegan meals like my Vegan Pad Thai.

This week I also shared a new vegetarian recipe with a vegan option:

Parsnip Topped Vegetable Pot Pies on AprilJHarris.com

My Parsnip Topped Vegetable Pies taste great and have a hearty texture even meat eaters will love.

Thank you so much to everyone who shared posts with us at the Hearth and Soul Hop last week. This week I’m featuring:
Hearth and Soul Hop Features January 11
Delicious Dijon Mustard Roasted Salmon from Teczcape

Right, let’s go! It’s easy to join in – just share your post(s) below. All family friendly posts are welcome. 

There’s no obligation but it would be lovely if you could include a link back in your post or share our Hearth and Soul Hop badge (code is in the sidebar).

    Can’t do vegan for a month, but I do eat vegetarian several nights a week. So glad I brought a tofu dish this week. To go health.

      What perfect timing for the tofu, Diane 🙂 I couldn’t go vegan completely either but like you, we do eat vegetarian very frequently.

    A belated Happy New Year to you, April! There’s definitely lots of good stuff to check out this week, once again. Thanks for pointing us to a few of the great posts. I’m drawn to that one on relaxing and recovering. 😉

    I’ve linked up two comfort food recipes this week. Ideal for our very cold weather this week!

    I can’t get away with too many meatless meals, but we certainly have cut back on using meat as a main course. We mix it with beans and use it in soups and casseroles to stretch it for our family of 7.

    Thanks for hosting! Have a great week.

    • April Harris says

      January 12, 2016 at 1:35 pm

      That’s a great way to use less meat, Jamie, especially if your family are not keen to eat something totally meatless 🙂 Thank you for visiting and sharing. Hope you have a lovely week too!

    Your recipes always look so yummy. I’ve never cooked with parsnips before — I’ll have to give them a try with this recipe!

    • April Harris says

      January 12, 2016 at 1:36 pm

      Thank you so much, Nina! Parsnips are really versatile. My favourite way to eat them is roasted with olive oil and maple syrup but this is a much healthier (yet still delicious) alternative!

    Your Parsnip Topped Vegetable Pot Pies look like the perfect winter comfort food dish and would make a wonderful and satisfying meal! For this week’s Hearth and Soul Hop, I am sharing Meal Planning Maven’s Pudge-Busting Recipe Favorites to help get rid of those pesky holiday pounds! I also brought by one of our favorite one-dish meals Crockpot “Rotisserie” Chicken ‘n Vegetables. Have a wonderful week and thanks for hosting such a fantastic party!

    April, thank you for hosting. I see some links I’m going to check out right away, including minimalism (though I don’t think I’ll ever achieve it!).

Instagram post 2196647699462172646_179821897 🎄Have you finished your Christmas decorating? 🎄Or is it still a work in progress?I’m taking my time this year, and it has been such fun! My Christmas tree went up very early, but the rest of the decorations have been evolving over the past few weeks.
I think removing the pressure to get everything up and ready in just one day has really enhanced my enjoyment of the festive season.
What about you - are you a get it all done kind of person, or does your holiday decor evolve over the weeks before the big day?#apriljharris #the21stcenturyhousewife #holidaydecor #mystylephotochallenge #red #littlestoriesofmylife #decoratingstyle #shinyhappybloggers #christmastree #christmasdecor #gettingreadyforchristmas #holidayseason
Instagram post 2196024479264347171_179821897 🌟 Sparkle and shine 🌟My talented friend @slkw73 put together this sweet frugal coffee table decoration for me. We used a glass dish that belonged to my late Mom via my late Grandma. The string of pine cones  with tiny lights (that don't show up in the photo!) was purchased from @greenparlour and the pretty berry garland from @kikiandbow. Love being able to use vintage sentimental treasures like this!

Instagram post 2194404729956828073_179821897 🌟The 80/20 Rule 🌟Do you follow this simple rule? Eighty percent of the time I eat healthily, exercise and do all the healthy things. Twenty percent of the time I let myself go a little. So this morning we wrapped up warm and got out for a brisk walk (before the rain!) to make up for a tiny bit of over-indulgence celebrating with friends last night. Okay...maybe a lot of indulgence...🍾🍷🍷🍷🍾We did skip dessert though! 😉#apriljharris #the21stcenturyhousewife #wrapupwarm #mystylephotochallenge #healthyliving #getoutside #8020rule #healthylifestyle #walking #balancedlife
Instagram post 2193125280088611995_179821897 🌟 Getting in the Christmas Spirit🌟Magical evening in Pangbourne tonight at the Pangbourne Christmas Shopping evening. We started here @kikiandbow for lots of lovely Christmas gifts (and some delicious stollen), went on to @ninos.trattoria for more delicious gifts (and tasty pizza!) and enjoyed so many of the other lovely shops as well.
