Bakso- Indonesian Meatball Soup Recipe- Gluten Free and Delicious!
I have this fascination with foreign cultures. If my life turned out differently than it did (like if I had more money, and no kids), I could definitely see myself being a world traveler, since I love learning about and experiencing foreign cultures. In fact, I was just discussing with Mike today, that whenever I […]
No Boil Gluten Free Vegan Mac and Cheese- With Butternut Squash
Nothing says comfort food like a big plate of mac and cheese. Being gluten free and dairy free and without access to vegan soy free cheeses like Daiya, it’s not so easy to make yummy mac and cheese. It usually involves a bunch of steps, and a bunch of pots, which I don’t always have […]
Ground Beef Baked Kofta Kebabs Recipe- Restaurant Quality, Gluten Free, Egg Free, Paleo and GAPS Legal
The picture doesn’t do it justice! If I had to pick one thing that this blog is probably known for (other than being run by a homeschooling, home-birthing, placenta “eating”, “hippy” mama), its probably my complex and complicated charts and calculations in which I compare what is actually cheaper, like which cut of meat is […]
Decadent Chocolate Cake Recipe- With Gluten Free, Vegan, and Refined Sugar Free Options
I recently bought coconut sugar in bulk cheaply (or as cheap as I can get it anyhow), so I finally have enough available to be able to be using it as my staple sweetener. While I do try to use jaggery syrup and date paste (my cheapest non refined sweeteners available to me) in as […]
Homemade Vegan Jalebi Recipe- Deep Fried Sweet- Gluten Free and Refined Sugar Free Options
A few weeks back my kids asked me to make donuts, and I agreed, but kept pushing it off, not really interested in the mess that making donuts would probably entail… My kids kept on asking me when we could make the donuts, and finally I decided that the best compromise would be some other […]
Seafood Gumbo Recipe- Made with Salmon Scrap Broth, Paleo Legal, Low Carb
Brrrr… In the last little bit, it actually finally feels like winter here. We had a lot of sunny days this winter, where the kids were too hot in the sweatshirts I made them wear, days where the weather felt more like April than December. But make no mistake- winter is certainly here now. The […]
Wild Greens (And Cheese) Patties Recipe- Gluten Free, Egg Free, Dirt Cheap, Paleo Option
Sorry for the decreased posting frequency lately. I’ve had a bit of a crazy week, as you probably can understand, what with my daughter’s birthday and holiday season, etc! Hopefully this next week I will be back to posting with a vengeance- I have many amazing post ideas in the back of my brain just […]
Chocolate Buckwheat Bread Recipe- Vegan, Refined Sugar Free, Xanthan Gum Free, Soaked Grain Option
My kid has thrown me into a loop by deciding he doesn’t want to eat cereal for breakfast anymore. While cereal and milk for the kids isn’t so nutritious (even though I try to stick to the less processed stuff) I don’t always have the energy to be cooking up complex breakfasts in the morning, […]
Crafting With Homemade White Clay- Recipe- Gluten Free Alternative to Salt Dough
I first heard of white clay from a friend on a local frugal forum, and now that the holiday season is here, I decided to try it out. If you’ve ever heard of salt dough, it’s a homemade, solidly drying craft medium, completely non toxic, that can be used as an alternative to store bought […]
Delicious Tri-Color Root Vegetable Salad Recipe- Vegan, GAPS and Paleo Legal
With winter upon us, most of the primary salad vegetables are out of season, and therefore either hard to get or expensive. The cheaper, more available veggies are root vegetables, which most people tend to make into hot dishes, like roasted veggies and stews and soups. And while those are absolutely awesome and what many […]
