Easy Fruity Iced Tea Recipe, Tastes Like Fruit Punch, Extremely Frugal
Something I noticed is that when I stay home, I often don’t remember to drink, and even though I don’t exert myself tremendously, I end up dehydrated by the end of the day. For that reason, among others, I decided to start having tasty drinks available at home, and you know me, that means made […]
Easy Cheap Vegan Candied Popcorn and Popcorn Balls Recipe
“Mommy, did you make caramel popcorn?” my kids asked me. No, this isn’t caramel, caramel has dairy in it, specifically butter, and this has none of that. There is another popcorn based dessert similar to this called kettle corn, but there are big differences between that and this- namely the proportions of oil and sugar, […]
Easy Fish Free, Gluten Free Beef Pho Recipe — Delicious Vietnamese Noodle Soup, Allergy Friendly
I was cleaning out my freezer (yay, spring cleaning!) and I had a bunch of beef broth in it. Part of that beef broth, to be honest, was something that I intentionally made to be able to cook Asian food with it, many recipes I never got around to yet, but I still needed to […]
Delicious and Easy Sweet Cheese Pancakes Recipe
This recipe is very different from most recipes I post. First of all, I never tasted this. Secondly, it isn’t particularly frugal or particularly healthy. Nor is it gluten free, dairy free, or egg free (it’s all those, basically). But I made it yesterday for my kids for lunch and they devoured it, and told […]
Easy and Delicious Gluten Free Vegan Spaghetti with Meat Sauce Recipe from the Pantry- Allergy Friendly
Fortunately I have quite a lot of food in my house, enough to last a while, with the stock built up over a long period of time, mostly things purchased when they were on sale, so that I could shop from my pantry instead of paying full price for things from the grocery store. Though […]
Asian Style Pomelo Lettuce Salad Recipe — Gluten Free, Vegan, Easy
Sometimes, a salad is really amazing. And sometimes, it just doesn’t cut it for you. The other day I made myself a salad, and I couldn’t bring myself to eat it. I just didn’t enjoy it. I thought maybe my body was telling me to eat something other than salad, but I looked at the […]
Easy Gluten Free Vegan Carrot Cake Cookies Recipe, Allergy Friendly and Cheap
I got a bunch of free carrots that were oddly shaped, and I wanted to figure out something tasty to do with them. I also needed to make a dessert. I first thought of carrot cake, but then I wanted cookies. Then it hit me, why not carrot cake cookies? Does such a thing even […]
Easy Congee Recipe Using Leftovers, Chinese Savory Rice Porridge
Unfortunately my daughter has a stomach bug. (We’ve been dealing with so many sick days this past winter, first one kid then another, so many fevers, but this seems to be the first stomach bug.) I wanted to make some food to help my daughter feel better, something that would be soothing on the stomach, […]
Easy Dairy Free Vanilla Cake Recipe, With No Expensive Ingredients or Equipment
Today I made a birthday party for my daughter, more on that in another post, and for the party cake I wanted something quick and easy. Though I have a terrific gluten free vanilla cake recipe that I’ve made in the past, this time I wanted to try a cake with gluten, because I wasn’t […]
Gluten Free Vegan Char Chai Tow Kway, Singaporean and Malaysian Stir Fried Carrot Cake Recipe with Daikon Radish, and Homemade Chye Poh, Chinese Dried Daikon Radish
First time I heard about Cantonese turnip cakes, lo bak go, made with daikon radish, I was a little hesitant, because it sounded strange, but it is such a popular dish that I said I’d give it a go, and I was very pleasantly surprised, to put it mildly. They were such delightful little dim […]
