Korean Style Spiced Fried Tofu

I found a new favorite fish recipe that was quite delectable, and restaurant worthy when I was making an Asian feast for myself. It also was relatively frugal to make and not too much work to prepare. I wanted to make it for my family for supper but I have a son who doesn’t eat […]

Korean Style Steamed Zucchini Side Dish Recipe — Gluten Free, Paleo, Vegan, and Easy

I’m tired and exhausted but told myself I’d get a post done today, so this is a quick one before I go to sleep. This recipe is based off one from Maangchi’s site for an eggplant based side dish but I didn’t have any eggplant at home. What I did have was lots of zucchini and […]

Easy Roasted Asian Style Brussels Sprouts Recipe — Paleo, Vegan, Gluten Free, and Delicious

I have an embarassing confession. When I read recipes, I usually just read the ingredient list and don’t look at the instructions, and then I start cooking the food and sometimes realized that I completely flubbed the instructions. Oh well. Usually it works out ok anyhow, and this was one of them, but other times […]

Korean Style Seasoned Pan Fried Fish Recipe- Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free, and Delicious

After five weeks without having even a moment at home without any kids present, I finally had a weekend to myself when the kids went to their dad. While they were gone I made the decision to make myself a Korean feast, not considering before I made each dish if my kids would like it, […]

Low Carb Vegan Cheese Sauce Recipe – Nightshade Free, Paleo, Allergy Friendly

Recently my friend Elaine reached out to me asking for my vegan cheese sauce recipe, but then wanted to know if I had a way to do it without nightshades since her husband doesn’t eat them. I thought for a bit and then gave her a suggestion, but then thought about tweaking my recipe even […]

Sweet and Sticky Tofu Recipe- Gluten Free, Vegan, Easy, and Delicious

My kids aren’t the hugest fans of tofu. Plain, that is. They refer to it as a white sponge. But if it’s prepared with lots of flavor, as in this recipe, they definitely appreciate it.  I made this tofu recipe based on my sweet and sticky green beans recipe and used it for poke bowls and […]

Easy Sesame Carrot Salad Recipe – Gluten Free, Vegan, Paleo, Allergy Friendly and Frugal

I almost feel like this is too simple and silly to be a recipe, but it’s yummy and good, and so what if it’s ridiculously easy? I made this side dish kind of accidentally, because I was making poke bowls (another post on that soon) and wanted to put grated carrots in it, but didn’t […]

Sweet and Sticky Garlicky Green Beans Recipe — Gluten Free, Paleo, Vegan

I love green beans. I generally make them very simply because they are good any way you make them, and why not just do something easy. But recently I decided that I wanted sweet and sticky green beans even though I’d never had them before. I knew though it would be delicious and was craving […]

Homemade Sesame Mock Shrimp Toast Dim Sum Recipe — Hatosi — Gluten Free, Egg Free, Fish Based, Frugal

I run a local frugal cooking Facebook group, and one of my friends, Alison, often shares some great frugal recipes in it. The other day she shared a recipe for sesame chicken toast that she said was really cheap, and just like the appetizers in the Chinese restaurants, and that it used up an old […]

Easy Artichoke Soup Recipe- Paleo, Vegan, Allergy Friendly

I know this isn’t the prettiest of soups. What can I say- I blended some vegetables that ended up making a light brown soup, that’s what you get when mixing light green with orange. But the taste is divine, don’t let its color fool you. This recipe came aboug when I was trying to think […]
