Greek Purslane Salad Recipe — Salata Horiatiki Me Glistrida — Foraged, Frugal, and Delicious
Purslane has long been a favorite foraged plant of mine ever since I learned about foraging it over 12 years ago. Unfortunately, as the years go by, I find it less and less, which makes me sad. I found purslane for literally the first time this year this past Tuesday, and it made me so […]
What I Did With a Huge Amount of Scallions and Other Free Produce
I live in a community with an overall low socioeconomic status, and because of that, I’m lucky in that there are charities that deliver food that either is close to the expiration date, banged up, otherwise look bad, or are mixed with spoiled produce, so you need to pick through them to find the good […]
Homemade Cheap Granola Cereal Recipe — Vegan and Allergy Friendly
I’ll confess, my kids end up eating far more cereal than is ideal, because it is something they can grab to eat if I don’t have something else ready. But obviously it isn’t so healthy, so my sons requested I buy them granola to have as cereal. I’m cool with that, but it gets pricey […]
Free Groceries and What I Did With Them
When I was putting these groceries on my counter to photograph them, my kid asked me why I was doing that, why I’m putting free things I’m given, because not everyone is able to get free things like this, and what am I teaching people by posting these things? So I wanted to address that […]
Sweet and Salty Cucumber Salad with Dill Recipe — Gluten Free, Vegan, Allergy Friendly
I was trying to think of a way to title this recipe, because I couldn’t think of a good descriptor that actually did this recipe justice, because I’ve tasted many cucumber salads with dill that were just meh, and I didn’t mind eating them but I didn’t crave them. And then comes this cucumber salad. […]
Curried Batter Fried Fish and Bananas Recipe — Gluten Free, Allergy Friendly
Ever have a really far fetched ridiculous sounding recipe idea, but you have this really strong hunch that it would not only work well, but also taste terrific? That happened to me the other day. My oven had been broken for some time. I wanted to make some tilapia, but I found most stove top […]
Firecracker Peanut Butter S’mores Recipe — Easy Homemade Medical Marijuana Edibles Recipe, Gluten Free Vegan Cannabis Cookies
Medical marijuana is a lifesaver for many people. I have been dealing with chronic pain with doctors basically telling me there’s nothing they could do about it; I’ve been on all the medication suggested other than opioids and they didn’t work and my situation was written up as being treatment resistant. I went to a […]
Vegetarian Luxembourg Bouneschlupp Inspired Green Bean Soup Recipe — Gluten Free, Frugal
I heard about bouneschlupp, a green bean soup hailing from Luxembourg, from my friend Juli. (She inspires me a lot in the kitchen, can you tell?) The first thing that came to mind when I heard the name is that it sounds like bone slurp, so I assumed it was a bone broth type thing, […]
My Ridiculously Easy Slightly Nutritious Go-To Meal — Gluten Free Comfort Food
It is kind of ridiculous that I’m posting this, but I’m trying to be honest about where I am in life… But I’ve been having a hard time in so many different areas, either in physical pain or emotional or just thoroughly exhausted, so productivity and energy levels are pretty slim. But even so, I […]
Insalata di Riso Recipe — Italian Rice Salad — Gluten Free, Allergy Friendly, Frugal and Adaptable
My friend Juli of Pandemonium Noshery and I have been bonding over our love of international frugal cooking (among other things) for a few years already, and I’ve shared a few of her recipes here already. She inspires me in the kitchen. Since I’ve been feeling overwhelmed a bit (ok a lot) lately I asked Juli […]
