Hi Kimi!
This chicken salad can be quite frugal when you make your own buns and your own yummy dressing. It’s even tastier if you toast the buns with some butter before assembling…I should add that tip to my post!

Rice is a frugal addition to any meal .. and it seems that white rice has some definite advantages over brown! If you are like me and don’t really like the brown rice at all – here are some reasons why you can now feel good about your choice of plain old white rice!

I am sharing a grass fed hot dog with veggies and a banana avocado green smoothie recipe!

Yes, I discovered an awesome company that sells 100% grass fed hot dogs. It is beef with spices – nothing else. Find out who it is in my post!

I linked up a post with a recipe for Cherry Upside-Down Cake and a tip on using baking soda to reduce the amount of sugar used in baked goods with fruit. It can be a surprising and frugal way of baking with acidic fruits. :-)

I learned how to make homemade coconut butter! It is so easy and so much cheaper than buying it!

Thanks for hosting the carnival, Kimi!

Thnk you for hosting Kimi!

I love sardines, i don’t need enough. eating one small can gives me enough protein for the day.

I’m back to drinking Pau D’Arco tea, need to go through some cleansing again, eating too much home made bread and honey. (not recommended for pregnant women though)

Hi! I just posted the link to our websites recipe page. We grow portabella, shiitake, oyster, and button mushrooms organically and have a couple of gardens that we organically grow heirloom produce in.
I have a variety of vegan, gluten free, and regular recipes posted. All incorporate foods you can readily find at the farmers market or even in your garden! Enjoy!
