Easy Vegan Cheese Sauce Recipe- Gluten Free, Grain Free
I think other than various bread recipes, vegan cheese sauce is probably the food I have the most recipe variations for on my blog. This is number five. See, the thing is- when you just are buying cheese, you have a variety of cheeses to choose from, and you can pick the one you like […]
How We’re Saving Money on Heating This Winter
Add caption I have been challenged by the Money Advice Service to write a post on my January’s “survival guide”. For me, the biggest challenge in January has got to be keeping warm, as that month usually is the coldest month of the year. Right now I hear there has been a blizzard (or pseudo-blizzard) […]
An Awesome Get Together With a Like-Minded Family
You know how sometimes you have one of those days that are just so perfect, everything going so well, but they just are so full that they leave you exhausted afterwards? Today was one of those days. I have a friend, Holly, who is just really awesome and we’re so similar in so many ways. […]
Sharing My Love of Foraging
Purslane- one of my favorite foraged veggies I’ve been foraging for years now.

How the Bankruptcy Process Works
This is a post by Nancy Evans. No matter how thrifty you are, you can’t plan for everything. An accident or sudden illness could cause you to lose your job and destroy your savings. A single night in the hospital could easily cost over $20,000. There is the case of the English couple with that […]
Gluten Free Dairy Free Moussaka- Greek Eggplant Casserole- With Vegan and Paleo Options
Though I love eggplant, my family, unfortunately, are not such fans. I mean, they’ll eat it if I make it in something that is otherwise tasty, other than my one pickier eater. But eggplant is often on sale for very cheap round these parts, and I don’t want to not be able to take advantage […]
How to Make a Homemade Firetruck Birthday Cake- Without All That Processed Food Junk
A great birthday cake can truly transform a birthday party from fun to fantastic. If, like myself, you try to stay away from processed foods, especially margarine/shortening and food coloring, you might feel bad, thinking your kids will be suffering, since they can’t have those “super cool” cakes that others have at their birthday parties.
