Homemade Dehydrated Sweet Potato Chips Recipe- Paleo, Vegan, Gluten Free, and Grain Free
The other day I was at my friend, M’s house, and she gave us some really yummy sweet potato chips to taste. I asked her how she did it, and it was so easy and simple that I knew I had to try it, since grain free healthy snacks are one of the hardest things […]
Easy Pressure Cooker Congee Recipe- Chinese Rice Porridge
Unfortunately my family is dealing with an unpleasant stomach bug at the moment (fortunately I am feeling fine, and am hoping it stays that way!). I was trying to come up with something good to serve them that would be easy to make and would help heal them, and thought at first- chicken soup with […]
Ajvar — Serbian Red Pepper and Eggplant Spread — Vegan and Paleo
The other day I got a bunch of vegetables free and was trying to come up with space efficient ways to prepare them, which could then be preserved, since I was short on refrigerator space and needed ways to store them.

Preserving and Preparing Loads of Produce
On Sunday I went to the grocery store and market and got a large amount of produce, much of it free. I had nearly everything I needed (I was a little short on fruit), and my fridge was mostly full. I had plans on going back to the market on Wednesday, since I was teaching a […]
Cauliflower Leaf Chips Recipe – Vegan, Paleo, and Delicious

Preparing and Preserving Cheap and Free Past Prime Foods
Yesterday I wrote about how I went to the market and came home with an insane amount of produce, most of it that I got free, and a lot of it past prime. 154 lbs of food that needed to be dealt with when I came home yesterday and all today. The past two days […]
Spicy Baked Sweet Potato Fries Recipe- Paleo, Vegan, Easy
The other night I wanted a treat. I had to go out to a fancy dinner event where I knew there was likely not going to be any food that I could eat, because of my restrictive gluten free, egg free, predominantly paleo diet, and I didn’t want to be sitting there eating boring, simple […]
Larb Gai- Laotian Meat Salad Recipe- Frugal, Paleo, and Vegan Options
I really appreciate traditional recipes from around the world, especially when they use healthy, cheap ingredients that I can get easily.
