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 […]
Balsamic Green Beans and Tofu Recipe — Gluten Free, Vegan, Allergy Friendly
When I’m hungry and short on time I sometimes throw together a quick stir fry. Minute steak and frozen veggies or quick cooking vegetables is super quick, and chicken breast cubes instead of minute steak is also quick cooking and can help me have a meal ready to eat relatively quickly. One day I saw […]
Scrumptious Restaurant Style Potato Wedges Recipe
I wanted to make a fancy dinner the other day. I decided to do it in the style of a certain type of restaurant locally, and one of the things on the menu there is usually a type of potato that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I went to Google […]
Gluten Free Vegan Banana Bread Recipe — Allergy Friendly and Frugal
When I have overripe bananas I usually make smoothies and don’t have any left for banana bread, but recently I had a lot of bananas overripe at once and therefore had enough to use for baking without affecting our smoothie making capabilities. My problem with most banana bread recipes is they call for a specific […]
