potluck party : best healthy recipes

May 18, 2012 by Ella

TGIF! I’m so excited to kick of our weekend ~ soon… very soon ;D It’s our first long-weekend up here. Yes! And the weather is finally looking good, we have a guest coming to stay with us from out of town, we have a trip to Niagara Falls planned out, there will be lots of bbq’ing and chillin’ ~ cheers to good times!

So the partying has already started in my head, and on this post! Won’t you join me?!

This week, let’s have fun with your ‘best’ recipe post!

Something you love the most and crave and enjoy eating all the time, or something that’s a huge hit with your readers on your blog!

Hope you’re ready for another Potluck Party! Come, Welcome and Relax. Grab your favourite drink and make yourself comfortable…. share your favourite recipe in the link section below and mingle away with the other ‘guests’ ;)I am very excited to see a wonderful community forming here. Thank you so much for being here. Please extend this invitation to your friends so we can grow this community of health-conscious people and have a variety of healthy recipes right at our fingertips!

We are focusing on Nutritious & Delicious healthy recipes that are mostly vegan, vegetarian and raw as well as gluten-free but not exclusively. Recipes that are free of refined sugars, have no artificial colours and flavours, are not processed would qualify as healthy. Some exceptions will include wild fish dishes, and recipes with ancient grains like spelt & kamut are also welcomed. Please no posts that sell anything and unrelated links will be deleted. (for a feel of the party check this post). You are encouraged to search through your archives and dig up some older recipes.

To Play: It is now mandatory to add a linkback to a post you’re submitting for the Potluck Party @ Lifeologia (follow the directions when you link up). Copy the url link from your recipe post you want to share, click on the bottom blue button and follow the instructions. Let me know if you have any problems with linking.

The party runs all weekend long and ends early next week.

I must also send our a huge thank you to everyone who contributed last week for the Mother’s Day Potluck Party. The recipes looked and sounded so good… made me really wish this was a real life event! ;) So thank you to these fabulous ladies, bloggers and amazing chefs!

    What a great theme for the week…. I linked up 2 recipes. One is our “Best Salad Ever”: Roasted Garlic Tofu Salad with Cilantro Rice, Black Beans and a Mango Salsa… oh so good.

    The other is a staple in our house that we keep returning to because it is simple but so delicious and comforting: Dal Bhat (Nepalese Mountain Lentil Curry)

    Can’t wait to see what others share as their best recipes. :)

    Hi Ella, Sounds like you have a nice weekend planned. We are going to play it by ear. I have linked up a simple, quick tofu recipe, because who wants to be in the kitchen cooking with this nice weather! Enjoy the weekend! Thanks for hosting again.

      Yes Joann, you’re so right – who wants to be in the kitchen on these beautiful days ~ I like the way you think! ;D

      Wishing you a wonderful weekend ~ away from that kitchen! ;D

    Hi Ella! I must spend more time here! Your posts are so interesting and visually beautiful!

    Ok, so it’s not raw but I think my best blog recipe is my grain free plain sponge cake. It took me a week to perfect and we love the little cakes especially because they are suitable for the SCD! They’re sadly not vegan, however, if I get more time, I will perfect my vegan version – I was almost there the last time I made them!

    My readers currently seem to like my Rosemary and Garlic Bread Rolls but I feel most proud of my little cakes!

    Thank you for hosting! Have an awesome week! x

    Oh BTW! I can’t wait to go back to Niagara Falls in a few months and I’m definitely going to spend at least a day at Niagara on the Lake we visited for a couple of hours on our way back from the falls and it just wasn’t nearly enough time!

    Have fun on your trip!

    • Ella says

      May 19, 2012 at 11:13 am

      Vicky, I think I will need to fill you in on some great restaurants and amazing foods to try in the area ;)
      And Niagara on the Lake is so wonderful….. yes, you need a full day if not longer to just sit back and enjoy the ‘old town’…. you could also book wine-tasting tours in the local wineries…. beautiful good summer times ;)

      ps. your little cakes are adorably scrumptious ;)

      • Vicky says

        May 19, 2012 at 9:17 pm

        Thank you, please email me the restaurants etc! Have you been to Raw Aura?

      Laura ~ love you! ;D
      for some reason I couldn’t leave a comment on your blog post – but I’m touched by your post!

      Did you seriously serve up a love story along with ice cream?! Oh my, I was smitten with your words… what a beautiful love story… somehow I feel like there needs to be part 2 over possibly another bowl of ice cream…. ;D
      Your love really took flight into a beautiful ‘ever after’ ;)
      So so sweet and romantic ♥
      Congrats!
      xoxo

    I tried to join your last potluck party and unfortunately, it wasn’t letting me add my link and picture for some reason :( And then I missed this one, but I love the collection of recipes that everyone posted. They look delicious! I should be able to participate next time, since I’m back on the blogsphere more regularly again ;)
