Not Going To Cyprus… and Sunk Costs
Tomorrow I was supposed to be on an airplane, going to Cyprus. Except I’m not going to be going there anymore… I know, I know, I still haven’t finished posting about my trip to Belgium, I didn’t want to write all my posts one after another in case someone not interested in travel was reading […]
Healthy Vegan Banana Fudge Recipe- Paleo Option, and Easy
I have a second fridge/freezer, living in my backyard, except right now it isn’t working. We bought our current fridge/freezer when our old one broke, and after the new one came, we realized that we could fix the old one. And so, it has been sitting in our backyard, exposed to the elements, but has […]
Thai Curried Noodles with Chicken and Recipe- Gluten Free, Vegan Option
Recently I went out to eat at a restaurant, and had two dishes based off of Thai green curry paste- noodles with mushrooms and chicken, and corn soup. I recreated my own homemade Thai green curry paste, and with that, I easily recreated them both at home. I made a huge amount when I made […]
Gifted Some Great Groceries!
A friend of mine is moving far away in a very short while. This friend’s family eats largely gluten free, and much our diet is similar to theirs- leaning towards healthy eating, processed food free, but not 100% perfect eating.

Lately I haven’t been cooking so many legume dishes despite them being healthy and affordable, because every time I make them, my kids end up protesting, and refusing to eat them, and then they go in the trash, which makes them decidedly not a money saver. However, I wanted to try again, and decided to […]

Homemade Thai Green Curry Paste Recipe- Paleo and Vegan
I went out for dinner recently and ended up ordering two different Thai style dishes- one a noodle dish, and one corn soup, and they both were utterly amazing, making me want to recreate them both at home. When attempting to do so, I realized that the base ingredient for both of them was Thai […]
Homemade Red Zhug or Sahawiq or Daqqus Recipe- Yemenite Hot Pepper Condiment
Recently, I was at the market, stocking up on cheap produce, and my favorite shop keeper basically shoved a few large hot peppers into my shop. I protested, saying “What am I going to do with all these hot peppers? I have some at home already” and he said “You’ll figure out that to do […]
Gifting For The Holidays, Penny’s Way
Every year as the holiday season approaches, I have a dilemma about whether or not I should post about gifting for Christmas, because overall in the world I feel there is so much of an emphasis on consumerism. Christmas brings out the worst in consumerism, with so much pressure to give so much, keeping up […]
How Single Parents Can Financially Meet the Needs of Their Children
This post was written by freelance writer, Nancy Evans. Being a single parent is not for the faint of heart. You become solely responsible for your kids’ day-to-day needs, including making all the meals, doing all the laundry, fixing all the boo-boos, and doing all the bed-time fighting. You also become solely responsible for everything […]
