Gluten Free, Dairy Free, No Bake Tuna Noodle Casserole Recipe
If casserole means a whole bunch of foods thrown together, and then baked in the oven, we rarely had casseroles growing up. Not tuna casserole, not green bean casserole, nada. But we did have lots of “fake casseroles”- with all the same ingredients that would go in a casserole, only cooked on the stovetop, and […]
Perfect Gluten Free Pizza Recipe- Vegan, Starch Free
Gluten free vegan mushroom pizza sprinkled with vegan Parmesan I was in town the other day and passed a pizza shop. The smells there were so tantalizing- it made me really want pizza!

Raw Beet Salad Recipe- Sugar Free, Vegan Option
I was discussing my love of salads with my freind the other day. Salads are so refreshing and delicious and usually are filled with healthy ingredients. I could almost live off of salads.

Children’s Frugal Robot Birthday Party
Ike recently turned 4, and Lee recently turned 6. In some years in the past, we combined their birthday parties, since their birthdays are just a few days apart, and because they had the same group of friends, but now I decided that I wanted to make them each their own special party, so they […]
Homemade Zaatar Spice Mix Recipe- Gluten Free
If I had to pick my favorite spice mix, zaatar would probably be high up on the list, if not my favorite. Middle Eastern in origin, this spice mix can be bought at any Middle Eastern grocery store, but if you’re gluten free like I am, you’ll likely need to make it at home, as […]
Golden Black Eyed Peas Recipe- Vegan, Gluten Free, Grain Free
If I had to list legumes from favorite to least favorite, black eyed peas would definitely have to be up there somewhere at the top, since they are quicker to cook, and have a very pleasant, mildly sweet taste, and a decent texture.
