Things are hoppin at the blog hop!
Please see the note at the bottom of the page for information on the lucky winner of the Kelly the Kitchen Kop Real Food for Rookies online course!
Hello all! Are you ready for another recipe blog hop!? What is a blog hop you ask? Well, you can find out by visiting my Two for Tuesday Recipe Blog Hop page for a complete explanation, but basically, it is a way to link together various foodie love blogs so that you can enjoy many new healthy food recipes that you might not have been exposed to before!
Right now, A Moderate Life, Girlichef, Renderinglard and Frugalcrunchychristy are teaming up to share the Blog Hop with their audiences. If you haven’t been to their blogs before, then you certainly should, as they are tremendously creative cooks who are passionate about health and food and all are taking steps to cook more wholesome and soul nourishing food. This means you get exposure to four blog audiences for the price of one link, so we should really rename this 4 for Tuesday! 
So, please link a recipe or two using the linky tools below and your link will be shared over 4 different blogs and with 4 different blog audiences. Recipes should include healthy ingredients and can be old or new recipes or posts. Articles on real food, slow food, foraging, herbal remedies, local food, sustainable food, organics, gardening or any healthy eating information is also welcome. Each participant’s link will be tweeted and commented on by each of the blog hosts to increase your exposure.
Please use your best blog carnival etiquette and use the URL to your post, and not your blog landing page. Please post a link in your article back to the blog you are using the Linky Tools with and if you want to, please share one of the badges listed below to promote the Blog Hop. We would ask you to subscribe to our feed and Tweet the Blog Hop as well if you would be so kind!
Here are two Two for Tuesday Recipe Blog Hop Badges to choose from!
I hope you enjoy this blog hop and see an increase in your traffic as well. Please visit my foodie love sister sites for tons more wholesome and passionate food inspiration! This week, I was hijacked by peaches and watermelon while preparing for a beach picnic. Please check out my Peachy Keen Fruit Salad with Feta recipe to see what happened. You can also check out some of my previous real food recipes on my Featured Blog Hop Recipe Page and if you missed earlier Blog Hops you can also check them out! Bon Appetit!
****SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!****In the near future there will be some changes to the blog hop to better reflect our group beliefs around food. We all connected over the concept of “real food” but we all find that that term does not adequately define who we are, which is a group of passionate, loving, creative, earth friendly people who enjoy the miracle of food and believe strongly in the soul nourishing power of food and in the health benefits of the LOVE put into cooking. We will be exploring that more fully with you all and inviting you to join us in our journey to finding peace with food and immersing yourself fully in the JOY of it!
Happy hopping everyone!

Hi! First time here
I linked to my gluten-free raisin muffins that taste JUST like glutenous raisin bread. Perfect for portable breakfasts and lunchboxes, with flavors that start to make me think of autumn.
Hope you enjoy

This blog hop seems to be taking off. I have been entering for a few weeks now via girlichef. I have managed to find some great sites via the hop and for that I am very grateful. It took me most of last week to get through the different entries, it appears as if the same thing is going to happen this week. Thanks so much for all the effort to make the hop possible.

Looks like the blog hop is growing every week. I will never have to buy another cookbook again with all the great recipes being posted. This week I contributed a version of homemade Lara bars. I made them into balls instead of bars so they look like candy.
