Thanksgiving Menu and Recipe Roundup- Gluten Free, Egg Free, Low Cost and Healthy
Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I haven’t shared my menu yet! Can’t have that happening! I’m not making everything myself- my mom and I are splitting the work, but we’ve discussed the menu together and here’s what we came up with. Everything on the menu is gluten free, egg free, and refined sugar free (with one […]
Gluten Free Vegan Pumpkin Pie Recipe- Refined Sugar Free, Soy Free
I just made the most unbelievable pumpkin pie for our Thanksgiving dinner. It was unbelievable in many ways- firstly, it was just really awesome- it’s the reason why I am making the same exact recipe for pumpkin pie as I did last Thanksgiving- if something ain’t broke, don’t change it. Secondly, it’s unbelievable because it […]
My Pressure Cooker Saga
Or- Why you should always use your brain in the kitchen. Ever do something without thinking, for a split second, and then end up regretting that thoughtlessness for a long time after that? Welcome to my morning. I wanted to make some lentil soup for lunch, and the recipe called for chicken broth. I had […]
Falling into Sales Traps on Black Friday (and in General)
Thanksgiving is coming up. And what does that mean? Talking about what you appreciate in your life? Talking about the history of the holiday? Perhaps… but on the blogosphere, especially in the frugal blogosphere, the thanksgiving aspect of the holiday is severely overshadowed by the countless discussions about Black Friday, pre-Black Friday, and pre-pre Black […]
Frugal Accomplishments This Past Week
It’s that time again where I share with you all the fabulously frugal things I’ve done this past week- hopefully to inspire you and show you ideas where money can potentially be saved. Here’s what I did to save money this past week: Sunday: Made buckwheat porridge for breakfast. Went shopping and stocked up on […]
How to Make Homemade Ghee- From Cow Butter and Goat Butter
And if you’re wondering why this container says gluten on it… lol… its from back in the day when I bought straight gluten to make seitan, and we stored it in this container. Have you ever heard of ghee before? I hadn’t heard of it until I started getting into eating traditional foods, and ghee […]
My Latest Shopping Trip
Sunday evening I went to the grocery store and I had an amazing shopping trip- for more reasons than one- and I just really wanted to share my scores with you. Since I’ve been trying to lose weight and have changed my diet up a bit (very minimal grains, lower carbs, and more animal proteins), […]
Homemade Apple Pie Filling Recipe- Sugar Free, Starch Free, Vegan, GAPS Legal
I wanted to make a dessert for my family, but a healthy one. I wanted no added sweeteners, healthy or not, and no grains or starches, healthy or not. I had a bunch of apples in my fridge, and my first thought was apple pie, but again, no grains. So I thought to just serve […]
Frugal Accomplishments This Past Week
It’s that time of the week where, once again, I do some reflection on the past week, and see whether or not I was spendy or frugal, and then share the frugal things with everyone. (Maybe once in a while I should have a “my frugal flops this past week”. Hahaha.) This past week was […]
Homemade Breakfast Sausage Recipe- Gluten Free, Egg Free, GAPS and Paleo Legal
I’ll be honest- the concept of breakfast sausage was foreign to me- it wasn’t something I’d grown up with. I’d never eaten meat for breakfast until maybe last year on a camping trip. It just isn’t how I was raised. And I thought sausage meant hot dog…. But a couple of years ago I learned […]
