Welcome to Nourishing Treasures’ Make Your Own Monday Link-Up.
I thought it would be fun for us to share our versions of store-bought foods. What are you making on your own and no longer purchasing at the store? Share here!
I am sharing my Coconut-Orange Macaroons recipe.
Link-Up Rules
1. Add a text link to the bottom of the recipe post you are sharing, or you can use the “Make Your Own Mondays” image (above).
2. All recipes are welcome as long as they don’t contain processed foods or unhealthy ingredients (no white sugar, white flour, soy, canola oil, etc.). You can also add cleaning and body care recipes as long as they contain natural/safe ingredients.
3. If you aren’t a blogger and want to share a recipe, just leave a comment with your recipe. If you have a photo you could be featured next week!
This isn’t a rule, but I enjoy it when you leave a comment letting me know what you shared.
I will be choosing my top three favorites and will feature them next week – and I can’t feature you if you haven’t linked back
Here are my top three faves from last week’s link-up (click through to view the recipes!):

Creamy Tomato, Sausage and Kale Soup from Easy Natural Food

Garlicky Green and Purple Sauerkraut from Natural Health and Prevention

Homemade Coconut Milk from Small Footprint Family
I also want to mention The Liberated Kitchen’s Blue Cheese Dressing, and Davette Brown’s Produce Spray

Thanks for mentioning our Blue Cheese Dressing from last week! This week we decided to share our post on why to “crispy” your nuts. We never buy roasted or flavored nuts any more. Instead, we get raw, organic nuts then soak and dehydrate them before making things like nut butters or flavored snacks out of them!

Love your blog! Thanks so much for featuring my sauerkraut. Today I am posting a cultured ginger root recipe. Join me for cultured Mondays!

Wow! I’m psyched to be featured this week. Thanks!! This week I’ve posted on how to make your own food buying club, so all those amazing grass-fed, organic ingredients you use to make nourishing whole food costs a lot less and is sourced closer to home.

I just discovered your site for the first time today! So glad I did…I know I’ll be frequenting here often.
I linked up a sausage recipe and a a tutorial on how to make your own lemon dustcloths.
May I add your blog to the directory at Growing Home?
Welcome, Jacinda! Yes, please feel free to add Nourishing Treasures to your directory
I am sharing 2 delicous recipes for fermented Carrot Pickles and Beet Relish! They are divine!
Sorry about the goofy pic- I must have clicked the wrong button when I was cropping- I am not at my home computer!
Happy monday to everyone!!
I just reposted! Sorry about the double entry!
Hi, and thanks for hosting us today! I first linked up a post about how to make homemade butter (I make mine from raw milk). Then I saw that someone else had posted about that (so sorry!) so I linked to my favorite homemade whole wheat bread recipe! Thanks again! Blessings!
Hi Lea, thanks for featuring my sausage and kale soup, you made my day! This week I have another soup – Spiced Broccoli and Coconut Milk Soup. I hope you have a great week.
Thank you for the mention for the produce spray!
I’m back this time with Homemade Macaroni and Cheese. The whole wheat pasta is store-bought (I’m not making my own yet), but you can certainly use organic or homemade, if you dry yours (fresh would be overcooked).
Going to check out the other recipes
