Here’s a recipe for a quick, frugal and buttery dinner~ what could be better? Thanks for hosting this carnival, Kimi. As somewhat new real food enthusiasts, we are constantly referencing The Nourishing Gourmet.

i was gifted tons of fresh herbs, sharing how I’ve been using up the oregano, and a simple oregano “pesto” recipe. need ideas for the rosemary though. i’m tossing it in all kinds of stews/sauces but I have more to use up.

I toss it in with any flatbread, focaccia, pizza crust, or biscuit recipe. You can also make garlic-rosemary mashed potatoes. Just roast a few cloves of garlic in the oven or in a skillet, then add them to your mashed potatoes along with butter, milk, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Mmm!

Hutspot is super easy, filling, and nutritious! I love cooking in the crock pot and walking in the door after a day at work to smell the DELICIOUS grassfed beef all cooked with the veggies.

It isn’t so much a platter, but I find making snacks from scratch saves money and ensures wholesome ingredients. So I linked to a recipe that is a variation on our favorite homemade granola bars. Easy to make and no bake!

This is a step by step of how I cooked a pig’s head for a nourishing dinner. Might not be for the weak-stomached.

A basic menu plan that can help make real foods a reality at our house. Maybe it will help someone else, too.

Here’s my offering…Overnight Blender Pancakes or Waffles. They’re easy to whip up in the blender the night before and taste great with real butter, pure maple syrup, and blueberries. Yummm!

A Loaded Baked Potato Salad recipe that’s good for you, using yogurt for some added probiotics.

Here’s my recipe for split pea soup – using leftover ham bone from Easter!

I would love any thoughts on whether you think this would freeze okay? I tend to have too many leftovers to eat and would love to freeze some of it!

Oops, sorry! My first post didn’t work. I got it right the second time, though. Perhaps you can delete my first one?

The Nourishing Breakfast Casserole is made with leftover stale bread cubes saved from the ends of loaves that would otherwise be thrown away. I save them in a bag in the freezer until I have enough to make this delicious casserole!

Hi, I tried both your links & it goes to your recipe page & I didn’t see anything about a breakfast casserole?

Not sure how “pennywise” these scones are but I buy almost all of the ingredients in bulk. We get the cranberries from a local grower and they tasted wonderful.
