Ground Beef Baked Kofta Kebabs Recipe- Restaurant Quality, Gluten Free, Egg Free, Paleo and GAPS Legal
The picture doesn’t do it justice! If I had to pick one thing that this blog is probably known for (other than being run by a homeschooling, home-birthing, placenta “eating”, “hippy” mama), its probably my complex and complicated charts and calculations in which I compare what is actually cheaper, like which cut of meat is […]
Frugal Accomplishments This Past Week and Accountability For My Struggles
Hi everyone and welcome back to my weekly round-up of all the frugal things I did this week, as well as my accountability for things that I may or may not have done as frugally as I would have liked to. So first off- cloth diapering. I was going very well this past week! All […]
Decadent Chocolate Cake Recipe- With Gluten Free, Vegan, and Refined Sugar Free Options
I recently bought coconut sugar in bulk cheaply (or as cheap as I can get it anyhow), so I finally have enough available to be able to be using it as my staple sweetener. While I do try to use jaggery syrup and date paste (my cheapest non refined sweeteners available to me) in as […]
Homemade Vegan Jalebi Recipe- Deep Fried Sweet- Gluten Free and Refined Sugar Free Options
A few weeks back my kids asked me to make donuts, and I agreed, but kept pushing it off, not really interested in the mess that making donuts would probably entail… My kids kept on asking me when we could make the donuts, and finally I decided that the best compromise would be some other […]
Taking Inventory of my Stockpile
I’ve mentioned my stockpile many times in the past, but today I’m really thinking about it. We have a storm heading our way, and predictions are that roads will be closed, supermarkets will be either closed or empty due to lack of delivery, and everyone has been panicking, making sure that they have enough food […]
Hard Core Poor- A Book on Extreme Thrift by Kelly Sangree- A Book Review
Have you ever met someone, and thought to yourself that the two of you are kindred souls, that you just get each other completely? I have a good friend, Kelly Sangree, and even though we’ve never met in person, we are very close, since we seem to simply understand how the other one ticks. Kelly […]
Seafood Gumbo Recipe- Made with Salmon Scrap Broth, Paleo Legal, Low Carb
Brrrr… In the last little bit, it actually finally feels like winter here. We had a lot of sunny days this winter, where the kids were too hot in the sweatshirts I made them wear, days where the weather felt more like April than December. But make no mistake- winter is certainly here now. The […]
Homemade Plaster of Paris Candle Holders- Without Special Molds
The candle holders we painted at Anneliese’s birthday party. They’re really supposed to all be as deep as the one on the left, but I ran out of plaster and the stores were closed… When I was planning Anneliese’s birthday party, I decided that I wanted to be decorating candle holders at the party, and […]
Frugal Accomplishments This Past Week and Accountability for My Struggles
Hello there again, and thank you for tuning in to this week’s frugal accomplishment roundup, as well as my accountability challenge for the areas in which I struggle frugality-wise. Thankfully, it’s been a good week, where I haven’t slacked too much, and have been relatively productive in the frugal arena. So, as to accountability first […]
DIY T-Shirt Yarn Bracelet- Homemade Sensory Chew Toy
Do you have a kid that likes to chew on things? Some kids are sensory seeking, some kids just have this excess need to chew. It is just who they are… I recently discovered that one of my kids (who I shall not be naming) likes to chew on things. Specifically his shirt sleeves. His […]
