Turkey and Greens Roll Up aka Swirled Turkey Loaf Recipe- Gluten Free, Egg Free, Grain Free
I had wanted to post this recipe for my turkey and wild greens roll up that I made for Thanksgiving dinner already months and months ago, if not over a year ago. But of course, as things happen, I forgot entirely about it, and every single time I went to post it, something else came […]
Gluten Free Dairy Free Meals that Everyone Can Make

When I was in the US in January, I stayed at my sister in law, Michelle’s house. She wanted me to write a post about how it was when I stayed there, that the biggest lesson for her was that, though it sounds scary for her at first to make food for me that I’d […]
Frugal Accomplishments This Week
This week, I think I did ok in terms of frugality, etc… Nothing super spectacular in my opinion, certain things I did regularly the past few weeks, in terms of cloth diapering and potty training, etc… lay by the wayside. It was very rainy and icky weather this past week, so I felt it curtailed […]
High Protein Chocolate Pancakes Recipe- Gluten Free, Vegan, Soaked, Refined Sugar Free, Gum Free
When I am being lazy, or didn’t prepare in advance, my kids get cereal and milk for breakfast, and I scrounge around in the fridge for leftovers to eat since I can’t eat the cereal and milk… But I vastly prefer to have a yummy breakfast food that is “breakfasty” and is gluten free, dairy […]

Frugal Accomplishments This Week
You have no idea how frustrated I am! All week long I was tracking my frugal accomplishments this week, and I was in the middle of editing my post when the whole thing got deleted, and no amount of CTRL Zing would get it back… So now I have to rewrite the post, filling it […]
Homemade Powdered Laundry Detergent Recipe
Since this seems to be the time of my life when I am doing a lot of “confessing”, I guess I have another confession to make- despite posting a recipe for homemade liquid laundry detergent 3 years ago on my blog… I haven’t used it in nearly that long. There’s a few reasons, but the […]
My Frugal Accomplishments This Week
I recently started reading a great blog that is very up my alley, called “The Prudent Homemaker” who lives extremely frugally, but seems to have the same attitude as myself about it (trying to have the best life on as minimal a budget as possible). One thing she does each week is share a round […]
Pineapple Rind Drink Recipes- Zobo and Tepache
A few weeks ago I found pineapple really cheaply at the local farmer’s market- a special treat because pineapple is usually a fortune. I bought 5 pineapples, and we really enjoyed them! I had read about many uses of pineapple peels, and decided that I wanted to get the most from my pineapples, and not […]
