Throwing a Fancy Party for Over 100 – How to Do It Frugally: Part One – The Food”
I’ll be honest—posting this is giving me so much stress, because I’m afraid of being judged. Afraid of being called both low class and wasteful. Afraid that people will see this titled “fancy party” and then criticize it because we used disposables, or because the food wasn’t plated fancily enough. I’m afraid people will roll […]
Gluten Free Baked Fish Shnitzel Recipe- Allergy Friendly Crispy Breaded Fish
Last week I was in the supermarket and I saw fish for an extremely low price. At $3.76 a pound, fillets of tilapia locally are a decently priced protein, especially since they are pure protein, no bones. But occasionally I see it on sale for $2.46 a pound and that is when I stock up. […]
Easy Chicken Tangsuyuk Pancake – Korean Sweet and Sour Crispy Chicken Recipe
I love Korean food. It is probably my favorite cuisine, other than possibly Tex Mex or Middle Eastern. Or Chinese. I even used to make Korean food and sell it as takeout, a couple of years ago when my body hurt less. Who doesn’t like sweet and sour chicken? Periodically I crave crispy, deep-fried chicken […]
Creamy Lemon Fennel Pasta with Edamame (Gluten-Free & Vegan Options)

Allergy Friendly, Vegan Ceasar Salad and Dressing Recipe
I didn’t have Ceasar salad often growing up, but it is something I enjoy eating. Did you know where it originated? It has nothing to do with the Roman Caesars. It was named after Caesar Cardini, a restaurant owner, in Tijuana, Mexico, who made it up one day, ostensibly when he was low on ingredients, […]
Citrus-Infused Carrot and Fennel Soup Recipe — Delicious Hot or Cold
I mentioned in previous posts how much I love fennel and shared a bunch of recipes using them. So it probably doesn’t surprise you that I bought a bunch. However, when I went to take them out of the fridge the other day to make some roasted fennel and fennel salad, I saw that almost […]
Turkey Cranberry Rolada with Citrus Glaze — Gluten Free, Allergy Friendly
I get hungry every autumn when I see pictures of my friends’ Thanksgiving dinners, and it whets my appetite for the fall dishes typically served at these meals. But since I don’t live in the U.S., we don’t have Thanksgiving off, so making a full dinner on the same day that everyone else is […]
Easy Blueberry Muffins Recipe — Gluten Free, Vegan, and Allergy Friendly Variations
Muffins made with gluten and eggs The other day, out of the blue, I got inspired to make blueberry muffins. It’s not something I have made before, at least not for many years. So I asked my facebook friends for suggestions for delicious blueberry muffins without any weird ingredients and my friend Samantha sent me […]
Better-for-You Mac and Cheese Recipe: As Simple as the Boxed Version And Cheaper
I have a confession. A confession that previous me might have been horrified to hear. And maybe some of you too will judge me for it. But I don’t. My kids love boxed mac and cheese. I’ve made them “real macaroni and cheese” so many times but 2 of my kids vastly prefer the boxed […]
