Hello and welcome to Whole Foods Wednesday’s Recipe Swap!

I am very excited to be co hosting this blog carnival!  So just what is a blog carnival?   Here are some tips and guidelines explaining just what a blog carnival is.  It really is a great way to visit new blogs and get new recipes and lifestyle tips from all over the web!

WHAT IS A BLOG CARNIVAL?

A blog carnival is a place where people can share post about certain topics all in one spot.  You can do a blog carnival on recipes, gardening, technology, homesteading, scrapbooking, sports etc…you get the picture.  In our case we are creating a blog carnival on whole food recipes and healthy living tips or information that involve a healthy lifestyle such as natural cleaning solutions, homesteading. gardening tips etc… You will find all kinds of great information in a blog carnival!

HERE’S HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

• IF YOU DON’T HAVE A BLOG, join in by adding your whole food recipes in the comment section below.
• IF YOU DO HAVE A BLOG, use a tool called, “Mr. Linky” (at the bottom of this post), to add a link to your post, keeping these RULES in mind:

1. PLEASE be sure to add a link in your post back to this post, so your readers can benefit from all the ideas, too. Also this helps out the other participants who are hoping to get more traffic to their blogs. Call it “blog carnival etiquette“.
2. Do not link to your home page, only link to the specific post. (Otherwise later when new readers find this post and go to your link, they won’t be able to find what they’re looking for.)
3. Be sure to read through here so you know what we are all about and what we mean by WHOLE FOOD (see below) before you add your link..
4. Leave a comment, everyone loves comments.  Be sure to visit at least 2 other post and leave a comment.  After all, this is a blog “hop”/carnival.
5. Feel free to grab the Whole Foods Wednesday button below for your post!

That is is!  So lets have some fun here!

Welcome! If you’re new here, thanks so much for stopping by. If you are a returning visitor, please take a minute to look this over, as the guidelines for the recipe swap have changed.

• Link up your recipes that use real, whole foods, any healthy living tips or information that involve a healthy lifestyle such as natural cleaning solutions, homesteading. gardening tips etc…
• Please, do not link up any recipes with white flour or white/brown sugars. I hate to be the food police, but I would like for this recipe swap to be a source for finding nourishing and healthy solutions that make us feel our best.
• Link up to 4 recipes/tips that you haven’t shared here before.
