Homemade Quinoa Pizza Crust Recipe- Gluten Free, Vegan, No Flour Needed
My family is doing a bit of a pantry challenge right now, since I realized that my stockpile was really full of some stuff that I just wasn’t getting around to using, so now I’m trying to use those up. I had a bunch of quinoa that I bought at a terrific price on sale, […]
The Benefits of Frustration (For Kids and Everyone)
Frustration- the true mother of invention I was having a discussion the other day with someone about unschooling my kids, and how I try not to push them to learn things that they aren’t interested in learning yet (yet being the key word), but rather, wait until they show an interest in learning that subject, […]
Homemade Dairy Free Thumbprint Cookies Recipe- Gluten Free, Egg Free, Vegan, Refined Sugar Free Options
I have an important guest coming tomorrow, and after cleaning the house spic and span (and way beyond that) I realized that I’d wanted to have a baked good to serve when she arrived. Only it wasn’t the time to go making a mess with a complicated recipe, so I just threw this together and […]
A Really Fun and Frugal Double Birthday Party In A Teeny Tiny House
A Minecraft cake birthday cake for my Minecraft loving boys I totally believe in the mantra “better late than never”, which is why, despite my boys having birthdays in September, I made them both a joint birthday party today. I wasn’t able to make their party around their birthdays, because it was a crazy hectic […]
Paleo Chicken Mole Recipe- Vegan Option, Refined Sugar Free, GAPS Legal
I had another recipe that I’d planned on sharing with you today, but then I made chicken mole (pronounced “moe lay”) and it was just so finger licking good that I couldn’t wait to share it with you, so I bumped it to the head of the line. Mole is a Mexican dish that literally […]
Why Still Paleo- How My Family and I Are Eating Now- The 80-20 Rule
Back in July I shared with y’all that despite originally being somewhat opposed to the whole concept of the Paleo diet, because I don’t buy the dogma about “eating like hunter gatherers” (especially since I am pretty sure, as a forager, that hunter gatherers/foragers DID eat grains), I did get convinced by Chris Kresser’s book, […]
Raw Carrot Salad With Creamy Lemon Ginger Dressing Recipe- Paleo, Vegan, Allergy Friendly, Sugar Free
Have I mentioned I’m a big fan of salads? Ok, only probably a million and a half times, but it’s worth repeating, nay? I was trying to come up with a salad idea that was using frugal seasonal ingredients- specifically carrots- that was a bit different than the standard salad that I make, and so […]
Wild Mustard Greens and Sweet Potatoes with Cashew Cream Sauce Recipe- Paleo, Vegan, and Super Frugal
The picture doesn’t do the dish justice! Sometimes the dishes that are the most delicious are the ones that look the funniest. Oh well. I’ll be honest with ya, I haven’t been doing much foraging lately, for a variety of reasons. Number one because it was a long and dry summer here and not much […]
Paleo Thai Style Multicolor Raw Vegetable Salad Recipe- Vegan, GAPS Legal
Winter is here finally, but you know what? Though most of the time I crave hot and thick soups and stews once it is cold, this time, what I’m really craving is creamy vegetables, ideally raw vegetables with something on them that makes them creamy. I was looking for ideas of what to make with […]
The “Weird” Way I Shop To Save Money
My insanely large amounts of turkey gizzards, about to be cooked. A 5 liter and 9 liter pressure cooker filled with them! At the grocery store yesterday, I highly amused one of the workers behind the meat counter with my request. I literally had him cracking up with what I asked for, because, honestly, it […]
