Pennywise Platter Thursday 9/29

by KimiHarris on September 28, 2011

Oops! Sorry for the previous post with the messed up HTML! I think it’s all fixed.

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.

How to link up to your post? Read below.

Using the Mr. Linky, link back to your specific post, not just your blog.

Kimi, something is wrong with the post. The linky isn’t showing up and neither are your pictures, only the HTML….

Hi Kimi. Looks like there’s a problem with the linky and pictures today. When things get fixed I’ll share a recipe for Sweet Potato Crackers (Grain Free). http://thecoconutmama.blogspot.com/2011/09/sweet-potatoe-crackers-grain-free.html

Thanks again for hosting Pennywise Platter Thursday!

I’ll add my link when it’s up and working too. I’m happy to write you an article about GMOs. It’s my mission and passion to get the word out, so people know what’s been happening with our food supply and seeds.
Today, I’m sharing a recipe for Stevia sweetened cheesecake. I’ve been off all sugar and grains for four months now and am feeling great!

I may apply for one of your guest post positions. My recipes and discussions are geared toward food allergies and living with them on a budget. As a result, most are very nourishing.

Glad to see there are still recipes popping up even if the links are not working! I love coming here on Thursdays to find new recipes and learn more about food. I’ll share my crock pot pear sauce. http://www.seasonalfamily.com/2011/09/crock-pot-pear-sauce.html

I love writing about ways to nourish the entire family with wholefoods, without any refined products. I’m knowledgeable on food allergies and substitutes and would love to find out more about guest posting!
