It’s time to share your frugal and nourishing tips and recipes! Where do you shop for quality food at a lower price? What recipe saves a penny? How do you balance a budget with nourishing food? Share here.
Please read through the three simple rules for those participating. This helps keep the quality of our carnival. Please read them through before linking and thanks again for your continued participation.
1) No linking to giveaways or promotions for affiliates or sponsors. One thing that I’ve noticed increasingly on Pennywise Platter is that I am getting more and more promotional pieces for affiliates or sponsors and a lot of giveaways. I’ve decided to keep Pennywise less “commercial” and more in tune with the spirit of the carnival by not allowing these links anymore. There was nothing wrong with those of you who linked to them, I just think that it will protect the integrity of our carnival better without them. Plus, it makes our links valuable in the future as well. A link to a giveaway three months old isn’t going to be worth browsing in three months time, but a link to a recipe for a frugal soup would be. I will be deleting any giveaway links or promotional links.
2) Keep the ingredients “nourishing”, such as whole grains, meats, vegetables, legumes, unrefined salt and sugars, chicken, etc. I am not going to be an ingredient police every week, but if there is a link to a post that is obviously not filling any of the criteria for healthy (for example, a white flour, white sugar birthday cake), I will delete that link.However, feel free to post vegetarian, vegan, raw, low-carb, etc.
3) Link back to the carnival This is common carnival courtesy. And more then that, it helps build the community of the carnival as you are sending your readers to others participating. And please, as a blogger, check out other’s posts and leave a comment! I know that we would all love to hear from each other.

Thanks for hosting the blog hop. This week I’m sharing a quick and easy recipe for a hearty potato and leek frittata.
Hello again! Hooray for Pennywise Platter!
I look forward to diving into the links this week. I contributed a traditional chicken stock recipe, since cold season is upon us.
I am sharing a recipe for easy grilled corn on the cob with a basil-Parmesan butter. This recipe makes simple and frugal corn on the cob a real treat!
OK I’m not sure if my plum tart qualifies as healthy, as it does contain a fair amount of sugar. On the other hand, it does include plums, which are fruit, so I’ll let you decide if it’s OK to leave up.
Hey Wendy,
Your tart looked beautiful, but you are right probably a bit high in the sugar realm.
You know, I bet you could make it a bit more nourishing by substituting more natural sweeteners. When I made my own plum tart (galette) this week, I used rapadura and it came out great! Give it a try. You might be surprised. 
After making chicken broth for 2 years, I have come up with a great method for getting the MOST FLAVORFUL broth, that everyone in my family loves! Hope you enjoy as well…thank you for hosting, Kimi!
Hi Kimi! Thanks so much for hosting…it’s a great event and as others have said I look forward to this each week. I’ve got a simple technique for getting more flavor out of your peppers. I love using my roasted peppers in soups, sandwiches, antipasto platters, meat dishes, salads. It’s just a versatile way to enhance your dish.
Thanks so much for hosting Kimi!! This week is another Dutch Oven creation with Peaches & Cream Cake!
I’m sharing an egg dish that I’ve been having for breakfast lately. It’s extremely satisfying and I can get a monster bunch of kale at my farmer’s market for $2!
Hello Kimi, the recipe i’m sharing is very easy to make and nutritious just as a snack. Hope it will be beneficial to someone.
Blessings ~ Carmen
Have fun with my spinach enchiladas! Grain free, gluten free and low in carbohydrates. It is SO good.

Thanks Kimi for hosting this great carnival. It’s my favorite on the web so far. This week I posted the most delicious raw pie I’ve ever made, pumpkin, just in time for autumn. Also, the hands-down single most delicious raw recipe of any kind I’ve ever had – Vanilla Cream. I’m drooling right now thinking about it.
Thank for hosting this link up every Thursday Kimi! I always enjoy learning from everyone else!
I’m sharing a yummy Mexican twist on a chicken sandwich featuring mostly local ingredients.
I posted our favorite Fall Recipe, Apple Roasted Chicken and Vegetables! Yum! Thank you so much for hosting! (I remembered to link this time! Thanks!)
Hello, everyone! I am sharing a homemade raw cheddar cheese recipe. If you don’t have a cheese press, you’ll enjoy eating the curds fresh and un-pressed. Boy, they’re yummy. Enjoy!
Gosh, I want to make and eat a few of these recipes right now … just from the title!
I linked up a delightful and flexible salad, Fresh Zucchini Toss. Thanks so much for hosting, Kimi!
Hugs,
Shirley
Hummus… a perfect snack!! Thanks for hosting!!
I’m sharing not a single recipe, but all the “food miles” I have stretched out of $14 worth of meat and bones so far (and I’m not done yet).
Hi, this is my first time! And it’s also the first recipe I have adapted to make it more nutritious. My recipe is healthier cinnamon rolls and a variation, chocolate/coconut rolls. Have 3 dozen cinnamon rolls to stick in the freezer! Lots of breakfasts and snacks on hand for not a lot of cash.
I’m really disappointed that you accept advertising from shady “no prescription needed” pharmacies. Not nourishing.
I’m canceling my subscription.
Ronnie,
I am sorry that the advertising offended you. I actually don’t “accept” any of the ads as they are put on automatically through google ads.
Kimi, I really enjoy your weekly carnival and find a good bit of inspiration here, but since I don’t have a blog I do a whole lot more receiving than giving. But today I want to share a recipe because it is so seasonal (with apple season in full swing), cheap and GOOD!
Apple Chicken Soft Tacos (don’t expect a Tex-Mex flavor):
3 T butter
1 medium thinly sliced onion
2 medium thinly sliced apples (peel if you like)
1/4 to 1/2 t salt
1/4 t nutmeg
1/4 t freshly ground pepper
2 cloves minced garlic
8 oz. cooked chicken, coarsely chopped
6 flour tortillas (whatever you use)
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, add onions, cook 5 minutes or until tender. Add apples, salt, nutmeg and pepper, cook until apples are soft and golden. Add garlic, stir, add chicken and continue cooking until chicken is heated through. Warm tortillas and place about one heaping half cup of filling in each tortilla, roll up and serve warm.
We had these tonight with butternut squash fries and green beans. Lovely.
Thanks!
Yum! Sounds good. Thanks for sharing.
This is great! I included a beans and rice recipe. My family loves it. Leftovers make a great extra filler for tacos if you are low on the meat!
I am sharing a frugal soup made with leftovers, love your carnival!
