Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe- With Oil, Gluten Free and Regular

I really like chocolate chip cookies. They’re one of my favorite type out there. The most annoying thing about them is that they usually are made with butter or margarine, and I don’t always have butter in the house, don’t touch margarine with a 10 foot pole, and yes, butter is expensive so I try […]

Easy Gluten Free and Regular Pasta Recipe

I think one of the hardest adjustments for me when going gluten free was missing out on pasta. I never was a big bread eater, but we probably had pasta a few times a week. I do occasionally buy gluten free pasta, but it so exorbitantly expensive, so what used to be a staple in […]

Homemade Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Mix Recipe

One of the most annoying things about gluten free cooking is that you can’t just use wheat flour for your recipes. You generally need a mix of different types of flours, because gluten free grains aren’t like wheat- some are heavier, some are lighter, some are denser, some are stickier, etc… and in order to […]

Save Money on Laundry by Line Drying

Laundry is my arch nemesis. I would have to say its the household chore I enjoy least. I mean, you just keep on doing it and doing it and doing it and the job never ends because there’s always more laundry to be done! I rarely ever see the bottom of my laundry basket, and […]

Carribean Red Beans and Rice Recipe

One of the things I love about beans is that they’re pretty darn cheap, and they are so, so, so versatile. I have bean recipes I like to prepare that originate in Africa, bean dishes from Asia, from the Middle East, from the US, and from Central America. (Anyone want to share some European or […]

Healthy, Low Carb, Turnip Hashbrowns Recipe

Some foods get a bad rap unnecessarily. Take hash browns and eggs, for one.  Its what people probably imagine is being served at greasy spoon diners around the US and otherwise, artery clogging foods that, if you eat them on an even semi regular basis, will make you keel over and drop dead from a […]

A Great Homemade Toy (and Home Schooling Get Together)

Earlier on in the week, I took my kids to their first ever “homeschooling get together”. Homeschooling is pretty rare in my area, and though my children do have friends, they had yet to meet kids their age who learned exclusively at home until a few days ago. My kids had a great time, making […]

Cheater Cheap Kimchi Recipe- Homemade Korean Sauerkraut

Sauerkraut is one of the healthiest foods out there, and it’s been around a really, really, really long time. Sauerkraut is basically lacto-fermented cabbage, and it seems like every region of the world has its own version of sauerkraut, partially because fermenting was one of the ways to get their vegetables, grown in the summer, to […]
