My Health Story, Part 1 (Or- Why Don’t I Just Eat Normal Food?)
Image credit I’ve gotten some comments lately about my diet and my health, some worded more politely than others but all wanting to know the answer to the same basic question- I keep restricting my diet further and further and don’t seem to be getting any healthier so why do I bother? Why don’t I […]
Cucumber Agua Fresca with Lemon and Mint Recipe
Sorry y’all, I had a more intense, deep, and thought out post planned for you today, but I had a rough day today, found out that a friend of mine just died out of the blue, and I really wasn’t in the proper headspace to be writing that post, because when I write it, I […]
Homemade Vegan Parmesan Cheese Recipe
I like cheese and cheesy flavorings, but being off dairy already for the past while, I often need to go without. I mean, yes, there are many recipes for vegan cheeses and vegan cheese sauces out there, but I get lazy sometimes, and sometimes want to add a bit of cheese flavor without all the extra […]
Homemade Pierogi Recipe, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free, Vegan Options
I grew up in a home where much of what we ate was homemade- there were a few things that we almost always had from a can, like cream of mushroom soup and pickles, a few things that we made from scratch that very few people make from scratch (maple syrup, sake, mead, beer, and […]
Foraged Wild Sushi and Crispy Salmon Skins
I like free food, I like foraged food, and I like nice food. Lately, I’ve tried to combine all three, and have been inspired to make ultra frugal gourmet foods. You all probably know that I’m a big sushi fan, so when I heard of people making “foraged/wild sushi” I got inspired to do the […]
Homemade Diaper Rash Cream and Hand Lotion
Imagine not needing to buy anything expensive from the pharmacy, and still be able to treat your baby’s diaper rash. Imagine having a good, soothing hand cream to use on your dry, chapped hands. Imagine having a cream that would be good for faces, also as a moisturizer, but also helping to fight acne. Imagine […]
Homemade Herbed Seafood Ravioli in Coconut Cream Sauce- Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free
I had a whole long preamble written for another ravioli post I’ve written up but not posted yet, but I’ll have to save that for when the post finally gets up… I’m short for time today, but just wanted to get this delicious recipe posted for you to enjoy. I made ravioli because I (now […]

Gluten Free Sweet Potato Donuts Recipe, Refined Sugar Free, Vegan
Yes, I know, I just posted a sugar free, gluten free, vegan donut recipe last week- do we really need another one… But I’ll have to say- absolutely yes! These donuts are absolutely delicious, don’t have either any eggs or any egg replacers like ground flax seed, so they’re naturally vegan without trying too hard… […]
Pineapple Cake Recipe- Gluten Free, Vegan, with Refined Sugar Free Option
I’ll be honest- baking is probably my least strong point in cooking. I’m usually the “a little bit of this, a little bit of that, taste it and add a little bit more of this and that” type of gal in cooking and salad making, and baking… it just seems so much more finite! No […]
