Frugal Accomplishments This Week
I had a pretty intense and relatively stressful week, so frugality wasn’t the top thing on my mind. I also had a really long and exhausting day today, but I didn’t want to not post this, so I’m just posting this as is, no intro, no elaborations on the notes I took throughout this week. […]
Chicken Veggie Salad with Peanut Butter Dressing Recipe
I made a lovely salad yesterday, that served as an entire meal, was filling, delicious, cheap and nutritious. I wanted to share it with you.

Homemade Fruit Flavored Water- Refined Sugar Free
I am not the biggest fan of drinking water, unfortunately.

My Laborade recipe is an awesome recipe […]
Chilled Carrot Soup with Leek and Cumin Recipe- Vegan, Easy, GAPS Legal
The other day I wanted to make a fancy meal, and in my book, that typically includes having an appetizer. Soups are great appetizers, and chilled soups are perfect for the hot weather we’ve been having lately. Only I was in a bit of a bind, as the only veggies I had to use for […]
