Homemade Powdered Laundry Detergent Recipe
Since this seems to be the time of my life when I am doing a lot of “confessing”, I guess I have another confession to make- despite posting a recipe for homemade liquid laundry detergent 3 years ago on my blog… I haven’t used it in nearly that long. There’s a few reasons, but the […]
Pineapple Rind Drink Recipes- Zobo and Tepache
A few weeks ago I found pineapple really cheaply at the local farmer’s market- a special treat because pineapple is usually a fortune. I bought 5 pineapples, and we really enjoyed them! I had read about many uses of pineapple peels, and decided that I wanted to get the most from my pineapples, and not […]
Vegan Cauliflower Based Alfredo Sauce Recipe- Easy, Allergy Friendly and Delicious!
Recently I’ve seen this recipe pop up all over the internet- making a vegan, allergy friendly alfredo sauce from cauliflower, and it looked really good.

On Wednesday, I went to the farmer’s market, and got myself a bunch of produce for very little money from the “reduced rack store”. As I explained in my previous post on that store, I tell him how much money I’m willing to spend, and he fills bags for me, depending on what he wants […]
Date Sweetened Buckwheat Spice Cookies Recipe- Gluten Free, Vegan
I am always on the lookout for cheap desserts that I can serve my family, that don’t contain refined sugar. The problem is that refined sugar is so much cheaper than non refined sugars, that desserts made with the healthier sweeteners usually end up being so expensive to make… so I rarely feel justified in […]
Swiss Chard with Spicy Peanut Sauce Recipe- Vegan, Gluten Free, Easy
Last week when I was in the farmer’s market, I saw so many stalls selling beautiful swiss chard bunches. It is one of my favorite greens, and it’s super healthy as well, so I decided to buy a bunch. It’s been sitting in my fridge since then, in perfect condition, but I knew that very […]
Curried Carrot and Red Lentil Soup Recipe- Vegan, GAPS Legal
On cold, wintry days, nothing is more appealing to me than a big bowl of steaming hot and hearty soup. Lentil soup not only is warm and delicious, it is super frugal as well (especially if you wait to stock up on lentils until they’re on sale, which lowers the price even more). I came […]
Homemade Shawarma Spice Mix Recipe and Creative Ideas How To Use It
I find it amusing when someone credits me for inspiring them to do something, and in turn, what I “inspired them to do” ends up inspiring me to do things I’d never thought of doing before. Take this, for example. Until my friend, Sara, became friends with me, she had never made or served lentils […]
