A Frugal Race Car Birthday Party for my Boys
My eldest son, Lee (now 7), and second son, Ike (now 5), have birthday’s 4 days apart. Every year I debate whether I should make them a joint birthday party, especially since they basically have the same friends, and it would take the work load off my shoulders to be able to knock out two […]
Frugal Accomplishments This Week
Hi there every one! It’s time for the weekly round up, where I tell you just what I did to save money this week. As you can see, it was a rather skimpy one- I didn’t really do so many frugal things, or rather, at least not as many as I typically do. But didn’t […]
Beef Maqlooba Recipe- (Upside Down Middle Eastern Rice) Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free
My family isn’t the biggest eggplant fans. This is annoying, because eggplant is a veggie that I can get relatively cheaply most of the time, and I very often get eggplant for free. And of course, most of the time I cook up that eggplant, my kids refuse to eat it. Which is a bummer. […]

Golden Rice with Raisins, Peas, and Walnuts Recipe- Gluten Free, Vegan, Sugar Free
Last night I went to a get together for the ladies in my community, a meet and greet type of event. As part of the “get to know you” event, people were asked to bring in a food that had something to do with their favorite color. I love blue the most of all colors, […]
Super Healing Curried Fish Broth Recipe- Tasty Too! Gluten Free, GAPS Legal, Dairy Free and Egg Free
The seasons are changing, and it seems that along with that come colds. Oh well. Since more than one person in my family is feeling under the weather (including myself) I decided to whip up a super healing soup to aid in the healing. I made this soup because it was pretty simple to make, […]
Great Hotel Deals on TravelPony
