How Mike And I Saved Money By Not Doing Things This Past Week
So when I was writing up this list of frugal things I did this past week, I realized that there was a theme. It was less frugal by action, but rather, frugality by inaction. All the things that I didn’t do, which ended up saving me money, instead of active things that I did that […]
Homemade Gluten Free Bagels Recipe- Vegan, Refined Sugar Free Options
One thing I’ve missed since going gluten free was gluten free bagels. I especially felt this lack, as did my kids, whenever we’d get invited to a bagel brunch, as would happen a few times a year, and my kids and I wouldn’t have any bagels to eat. I mean, fine, I know how to […]
My Gizzard Manifesto- The Everything Gizzard Post
Cajun dirty rice with gizzards Brazilian coconut milk chicken with gizzards, my all time favorite gizzard recipe It seems every time I tell someone about preparing gizzards, people want to know what they are, how you use them, etc… And one day, half jokingly, I said I’d write my gizzard manifesto, but the more I […]
Our Family’s Latest Frugal Accomplishments
Sorry about the lack of posting this last week- on top of everything else that was going on that kept me busy, we had a stomach bug that made the week zip by in a blur, so I didn’t manage to get around to posting. And so, this week’s and last week’s frugal accomplishments have […]
Paleo Pasta Puttanesca Recipe- With Paleo and Non Paleo Options
As I mentioned earlier, I am doing a pantry challenge of sorts and I have a ton of anchovies in my cupboard that I want to use up. I figured out some really yummy recipes using them including pissaladieres but the thing is, I really am trying to stick predominantly to a paleo diet, which […]
All About My Latest Frugal Grocery Shopping Trips
It’s funny how sometimes I manage to go a while without any grocery shopping and then I do a heavy shopping day- yesterday, after not having done a real grocery shop for about 2 weeks, I went to not just one place to grocery shop, but 3! In our community we have these weekly sales […]
Frugal Accomplishments This Week
I haven’t shared my weekly frugal accomplishments with you in quite a while. To be honest, a big part of it was me feeling like I wasn’t living up to the frugal standards I held for myself, so I felt a bit like a fraud sharing my “frugal accomplishments” which didn’t feel like big accomplishments […]
Musings On Life Without A Car
We are a family of 6 and we have no car. Never had a car, have no plans on getting a car in the foreseeable future. People often ask me how I manage without a car, especially since all 4 kids of mine are home with me every day. So many people tell me that […]
What Is a Pantry Challenge- And Why Do It?
I’ve been posting recently on my blog about this pantry challenge that I’m currently doing, and a few people have asked me what exactly a pantry challenge is, why someone would want to do it, and how exactly one goes about doing it. To be honest, there is no one answer for this question, because […]
Pissaladieres Recipe- French Onion and Anchovy Pizzas, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Paleo Option
A while back I got a huge amount of cans of anchovies for free, and to be honest, I haven’t had much of an idea what to do with them, since growing up, I only ever ate anchovies on pizza. Yet doing this pantry challenge, these cans of anchovies have just been staring me in […]
