How to Make a Homemade Weighted Blanket- Step By Step Instructions

Easy Green Buckwheat Porridge Recipe- Crockpot Option, Vegan, Gluten Free
One of the hardest things about being frugal and gluten free is figuring out good, cheap, healthy breakfasts. Porridge is an easy, cheap breakfast, but the standard porridge recipes are based on semolina wheat or oatmeal, both no nos for our family. I’ve made rice pudding before, but I find it annoying, because you first […]

Healthy Butternut Squash Pudding Recipe- GAPS Legal, Lower Carb, Vegan
I’ve been pretty good about this whole eating well to try to lose weight and get in shape, but I’ll be honest, the hardest part for me is the social aspect, since so much of the socialization in our culture revolves around food. I regularly go to this mom’s get together at brunch time, and […]

Alicha Recipe- Ethiopian Vegetable Stew- Vegan, Paleo, GAPS Option

Miso Glazed Salmon Head Recipe- Cheap and Absolutely Delicious
Oh my gosh. I just had such a scrumptious supper, maybe one of the best I’ve had in a while. The funniest thing about it is that while I thought I was in heaven while eating it, others probably would find the thought of it absolutely revolting. Because the centerpiece of my meal was half […]
