Pennywise Platter Thursday 10/13

by KimiHarris on October 12, 2011

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.

Thanks for hosting! I shared a Master Tonic recipe, the CURE ALL. It’s a wonderful preventative and boosts your immune system. This is a great one to have on hand, especially w/ the season change and before Halloween when so many people start consuming tons of processed foods and refined sugars. Thanks again :)

Awesome carnival—I just stumbled upon it. I shared my favorite recipe for “burgers” that use sauerkraut as a base. They are one of our favorite foods of all time, and when we make them, they are usually the fastest to disappear. Bon apetit!

Thanks for hosting this linkup. I see some really great ideas! I have added my post on the most budget friendly and super nourishing foods in my family’s diet…bone broth. It is an encouragement to people to not throw away their chicken bones and veggie scraps, but rather transform them into a wonderful, health-giving food. The ultimate budget friendly food!

Fast food. It’s cheap so when we are on a budget, we should take our family there, right?! Wrong. Not a chance. Never. It’s not cheap and its pure crap food. Our kid’s don’t deserve McDiabetes. They deserve better!

Can we even call it a recipe if it has 4 ingredients and takes 5 minutes of prep time?
