Welcome to The Hearth and Soul Hop, the blog hop for family and comfort food recipes, healthy, sustainable living posts, homemaking, gardening, family, kids, crafts and DIY. Encouraging and inspiring posts are very welcome too.
I hope you are all enjoying the start of the holiday season. We have been visiting with family and friends and later this week we’ll be hosting our annual Christmas party. I’ve been baking my vintage recipe for Lemon & Walnut Squares as well as my Auntie Irene’s Coconut Date and Cherry Christmas Squares. I’ve also been sharing my Holiday Shopping Tips.
This week I’m featuring:-
Seriously cute Simple Crocheted Christmas Wreath Ornaments from Julie’s Lifestyle
A Crumble Coffee Cake from Simply 1 2 3 Allergy Free that is both Gluten and Dairy Free, and
A healthy and delicious Roasted Cauliflower Waldorf Salad from Sidewalk Shoes
Okay, here we go!
The Hearth and Soul Hop is co-hosted by me, April of AprilJHarris.com and Swathi of Zesty South Indian Kitchen.
You can find me on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Google+. Or subscribe to my weekly newsletter in the box below the linky.
