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 […]
Bhutanese Style Curried Fish With Oranges Recipe- Gluten Free, Paleo
I wrote yesterday about having been inspired by pictures of people’s weekly groceries from around the worldb to want to explore the cuisines of various cultures around the world, specifically to check out Ecuadorian, Guatemalan, and Bhutanese recipes. Bhutanese recipes, I’ve discovered, are difficult to find on the internet, and many of the ones that […]
Picado De Rabano- Guatemalan Radish Salad Recipe- Paleo, Vegan, Low Carb, Fat Free
I must admit that, like many other Americans, when I think about Central American cuisine, I really have no idea what it is like- I have this misguided idea in my head that it’s all Tex-Mex style, guacamole and chili and salsa and burritos and tortillas, and that every country in Central America eats exactly […]
How To Make Super Frugal Healthy Breakfast Muffins Using Revamped Leftovers (Gluten Free and Vegan Options)
I’m a big fan of making muffins for my family for breakfast, and I find it ironic that despite making them so often, I don’t really have any recipe on my blog for the types of muffins I tend to make for breakfasts. See, the reason is that I don’t have a specific recipe I […]
Homemade Gluten Free Bagels Recipe- Vegan, Refined Sugar Free Options
One thing I’ve missed since going gluten free was gluten free bagels. I especially felt this lack, as did my kids, whenever we’d get invited to a bagel brunch, as would happen a few times a year, and my kids and I wouldn’t have any bagels to eat. I mean, fine, I know how to […]
The Best of Penniless Parenting From 2015
Wow, 2015 has been a whirlwind of a year. So many things happening in my life, things that, if you’d asked me about them in the beginning of 2015, I would have been sure that they would never have happened, and yet, they did. It’s interesting- I was looking back over my blog stats of […]
Paleo When Short On Time and On A Budget- Plus Sample Weekly Menu
My paleo supper tonight- chickweed and sow thistle greens, ground chicken crumbles, sauted grated carrots, and walnuts, topped with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Ever since I went paleo and wrote about it, how it makes me feel better and also made me finally be able to get down to closer to my ideal weight […]
My Gizzard Manifesto- The Everything Gizzard Post
Cajun dirty rice with gizzards Brazilian coconut milk chicken with gizzards, my all time favorite gizzard recipe It seems every time I tell someone about preparing gizzards, people want to know what they are, how you use them, etc… And one day, half jokingly, I said I’d write my gizzard manifesto, but the more I […]
Paleo Pasta Puttanesca Recipe- With Paleo and Non Paleo Options
As I mentioned earlier, I am doing a pantry challenge of sorts and I have a ton of anchovies in my cupboard that I want to use up. I figured out some really yummy recipes using them including pissaladieres but the thing is, I really am trying to stick predominantly to a paleo diet, which […]
