Chocolate Covered Bananas Recipe- Vegan, Paleo, Easy
I wanted to apologize for not posting so much this past week- I had an insanely packed week, working really hard. On Sunday, I taught a class on frugal grocery shopping, on how to get groceries for pennies. On Wednesday I taught a class on foraging for really busy people, with an emphasis on how […]
Stevia Sweetened Jello Recipe- Low Carb, Paleo Dessert
I think it is absolutely impossible to get a picture of jello that looks remotely photogenic. Oh well… I was looking for an idea for a treat to make for myself , but the thing is, I AM trying to lose weight, so I shouldn’t really be eating snacks, as they are always extra calories […]
Asian Hot and Sour Fish Soup Recipe- With Salmon Heads and Nettles- Paleo, Low Carb
The other day I made the most delicious fish pie with dirt cheap salmon heads and other veggies just sitting around my house, and after deboning the salmon heads I had a bunch of bones and skin left, which, instead of throwing out, decided to boil up to make a very healthy fish bone broth, […]
Paleo Cheapo Fish Pie Recipe- Egg Free, Gluten Free, Grain Free, Allergy Friendly, Vegan Option
This recipe was inspired by my looking into the freezer this afternoon and seeing a bunch of the salmon heads I’d bought cheaply. I was trying to think of something to do with them, and all of a sudden, I got this idea- fish pie! I’d never actually had fish pie, nor do I think […]
Quick Fennel Kimchi Recipe- Paleo, Vegan, Easy
I really love fennel, love its crunch, love its versatility, love its mild licorice like flavor, love that it is lower in carbs, and that in the winter locally I can buy it very cheaply. I have my favorite recipes with it, like in a salad with lemon and mint, and roasted with honey mustard, […]
Candied Honey Mustard Turnips Recipe- Gluten Free, Vegan, Refined Sugar Free
I think I figured out that my method of masking flavors I am not in love with tends to either be “Koreanize it,” “curry it,” or “honey mustard it“. I love those flavors, and they’re strong enough that when they are combined with other flavors, they mask them. I’ve written about turnips before, that even […]
Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe, Gluten Free, Vegan, and Refined Sugar Free Options
I regularly go to a Mommy and Me type get together on Tuesday mornings, where the hostess provides yummy homemade treats for everyone to eat, but more often than not they’re gluten filled, which means that my kids can’t eat them. It’s hard for them to see everyone else getting these baked goods when they […]
Honey Mustard Roasted Fennel and Cabbage Wedges- Paleo, Vegan Options
I sometimes feel funny posting recipes like this because they’re so simple, however we had guests last night for dinner and I served this, and it was a hit, and that reminded me that dishes don’t have to be fancy or full of expensive ingredients to be delicious. In fact, sometimes the simplest ones are […]
Frugal Foraged Spring Rolls Recipe- Vegan and Paleo Options
I love getting food inspiration from my various foraging friends, because, while I sometimes come up with creative ways to use my foraged foods, more often than not, I just repeat the same methods again and again, which gets old. The other day, I saw Leda Meredith post pictures of her sow thistle spring rolls […]
Easy Vegan Reese’s Style Fudge Recipe, Paleo Option
Last night I was trying to think of a delicious dessert to make for my family. The thing is- my house wasn’t so clean, so I didn’t want to make more dishes, I didn’t have so much energy, but I still wanted a relatively healthy dessert, dairy free, gluten free, egg free, and ideally grain […]
