Amazing Red Lentil Soup Recipe- GAPS Legal, Vegan
Lentil soup is one of those things that I’ve made many times, with so many different variations. Sometimes lentil soup can come out ok, and sometimes it can come across so amazing that you have a hard time resisting eating more and more of it. This recipe is one of those simply divine lentil soup […]
Frugal Accomplishments This Week
It’s that time again where I share with you all the fabulously frugal things I’ve done this past week- hopefully to inspire you and show you ideas where money can potentially be saved. Here’s what I did to save money this past week: Frugal In The Kitchen: Made a smoothie for breakfast with wild mallow […]
Thanksgiving Menu and Recipe Roundup- Gluten Free, Egg Free, Low Cost and Healthy
Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I haven’t shared my menu yet! Can’t have that happening! I’m not making everything myself- my mom and I are splitting the work, but we’ve discussed the menu together and here’s what we came up with. Everything on the menu is gluten free, egg free, and refined sugar free (with one […]
How to Make Homemade Ghee- From Cow Butter and Goat Butter
And if you’re wondering why this container says gluten on it… lol… its from back in the day when I bought straight gluten to make seitan, and we stored it in this container. Have you ever heard of ghee before? I hadn’t heard of it until I started getting into eating traditional foods, and ghee […]
Homemade Apple Pie Filling Recipe- Sugar Free, Starch Free, Vegan, GAPS Legal
I wanted to make a dessert for my family, but a healthy one. I wanted no added sweeteners, healthy or not, and no grains or starches, healthy or not. I had a bunch of apples in my fridge, and my first thought was apple pie, but again, no grains. So I thought to just serve […]
Homemade Breakfast Sausage Recipe- Gluten Free, Egg Free, GAPS and Paleo Legal
I’ll be honest- the concept of breakfast sausage was foreign to me- it wasn’t something I’d grown up with. I’d never eaten meat for breakfast until maybe last year on a camping trip. It just isn’t how I was raised. And I thought sausage meant hot dog…. But a couple of years ago I learned […]
Easy Green Buckwheat Porridge Recipe- Crockpot Option, Vegan, Gluten Free
One of the hardest things about being frugal and gluten free is figuring out good, cheap, healthy breakfasts. Porridge is an easy, cheap breakfast, but the standard porridge recipes are based on semolina wheat or oatmeal, both no nos for our family. I’ve made rice pudding before, but I find it annoying, because you first […]
Healthy Butternut Squash Pudding Recipe- GAPS Legal, Lower Carb, Vegan
I’ve been pretty good about this whole eating well to try to lose weight and get in shape, but I’ll be honest, the hardest part for me is the social aspect, since so much of the socialization in our culture revolves around food. I regularly go to this mom’s get together at brunch time, and […]
Gluten Free Vegan French Toast Recipe
Its funny that, though my mom did most of the cooking in my house when I was a kid, most of my food memories involve my dad and the various things he cooked. Sunday mornings we would all sit around the kitchen table while my dad made something delicious- either pancakes from the New Settlement […]
Alicha Recipe- Ethiopian Vegetable Stew- Vegan, Paleo, GAPS Option
Last week I made a wonderful Ethiopian feast. In addition to the flat bread and doro wot (chicken stew) and misir wot (red lentil stew) that I made spiced with my homemade spicy berbere spice mix, I also made this delicious vegetable stew, not spicy at all, which everyone in my family loved- from the […]
