Welcome to The Hearth and Soul Hop Link Party! The Hearth and Soul Hop Link Party is the link party for all things home and family – family and comfort food recipes, healthy and sustainable living posts, homemaking, gardening, kids, crafts and DIY. We love thought-provoking, encouraging and inspiring posts too.
It’s National Vegetarian Week in the UK from 18 to 24 May. Last week I shared a deliciously easy 3 Day Vegetarian Menu with lots of recipes to help inspire everyone to consider cutting back on the amount of meat they eat. You don’t have to give up meat entirely to benefit your health, the environment and your budget. Every meal counts!
I also shared a review of new Jessica Phenom Nail Polish. To find out what I thought of this new long lasting polish that promises a gel like finish but can be removed with ordinary nail polish remover click here.
This week I am featuring:
Michelle of Oh The Simple Joys post, Surviving the First Night Alone with a Toddler. I enjoyed Michelle’s honest account of her worries and how she handled them as well as the practical advice she shares.
Diane of Simple Living and Eating’s Scallops in Prosecco Sauce. It’s great to see this delicious, frugal alternative to champagne being used in celebration dishes as well as for toasting!
Mini Spinach and Bacon Egg Cups via Heidy at The McCallum’s Shamrock Patch. These tasty treats are perfect for an easy weekend breakfast.
Thank you so much to everyone who shared posts with us last week. On with the party!
The Hearth and Soul Hop Linky party is co-hosted by me, April of AprilJHarris.com and Swathi of Zesty South Indian Kitchen.

May 18, 2015 at 11:16 pmSo glad I am sharing a vegetarian dish with you this week. I never heard of a vegetarian week in the US. We eat a terribly high animal protein diet. It would be great to encourage people to eat more vegetarian meals.

I’m back with another salad recipe. I sure hope people aren’t getting tired of all my salads … naw, how could one get tired of salads? Anyways, I’m committed to doing a series of 52 (Seasonal) Salad Recipes.
Have a good week!
