Homemade Aquafaba Strawberry Ice Cream Recipe With No Ice Cream Maker- Dairy and Egg Free, Allergy Friendly, Vegan Option
Have you ever heard of aquafaba? I hadn’t until recently. It’s all the rage in vegan circles, and essentially, what it is is bean water, as in the water used to boil beans. I have no idea who figured it out in the first place, but if you take the water in which your beans […]
Homemade Hibiscus Jello with Pomegranates or Berries Recipe- Paleo, Refined Sugar Free, Sugar Free Option
I love jello and fortunately my family does as well. I’ve written before that the jello that I grew up with was full of sugar and artificial colorings and flavorings, etc… all things that I didn’t want to be ingesting, so for the longest time we did without jello, until I learned that I could […]
Homemade Paleo Mint Chocolate Bites Recipe- GAPS Legal, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free
I have a thing for chocolate. I am able to eat a totally healthy diet all the time, but then the thing that tempts me, the thing that makes me break my diet is chocolate. Especially because its everywhere, in all the stores, especially at this time of year. And because white sugar in smaller […]
My Latest Frugal Shopping Trip- What I Bought and Why
Sometimes when you set yourself a really high (or in this case, low) goal, even if you don’t make it exactly as you’d planned, your coming close puts you in a better place than you would have been had you not attempted to reach that difficult goal. Two weeks ago I had a good shopping […]
Stuffed Butternut Squash Recipe- Paleo, Grain Free, Sugar Free
I haven’t been grocery shopping in about a week and a half, and have no plans on going shopping until at least Sunday or Monday. I also am eating Paleo, which is very vegetable heavy and there is a limit to how much produce I can buy at once, so you can imagine our stock […]
Low Carb Vegan Zucchini Cheese Sauce Recipe- Paleo, Allergy Friendly, GAPS Legal
I was trying to make my family a quick supper because I didn’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen- I finally had a mother’s helper come again after not coming the entire summer, etc… and I wanted to get the place cleaned up instead of dirtying up the kitchen. So I cooked […]
Sekanjabin Recipe- Refreshing Persian Minty Drink- Refined Sugar Free Options
I’m not exactly sure the first time I heard about the Persian drink called sekanjabin, but it intrigued me. I like making and enjoying foods from around the world, but I’ll admit, Persian food is something I’m not very familiar with, and the recipes that I’d tried didn’t appeal to me so much. However, sekanjabin […]
Paleo Chicken Pot Pie Recipe- Dairy Free, Egg Free, Gluten Free, Grain Free
When I went shopping last, I bought a bunch of chicken necks, and as I was looking at the packages, I was wondering to myself what kind of delicious dishes I could make with it, and started thinking which recipes work well with deboned chicken. Chicken pot pie came to mind immediately, and then the […]
Finding My New Normal- Taking Shortcuts and Not Feeling Guilty
Anyone who’s been a long time reader of my blog, and has been keeping up with it recently has probably noticed a change. Less frequent posting, a lot of talk about not having the energy to deal with xyz, a lot of short cuts that I’m trying to do I sometimes wonder what type of […]
My Latest Shopping Trips- What I Bought and Why
Yesterday I had to go to town, and while I was there, decided to go to a cheap grocery store, the same one where I bought my chicken necks before. This store, actually, is the same store I wrote about before, disparagingly, because of their claiming to be free of gimmicks and tricks, but are […]
