Pennywise Platter Thursday 11/17

by KimiHarris on November 17, 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.

Hello Kimi! Thank you for hosting Pennywise Plater :)

This week I’m sharing a recipe for Chicken Pot Pie made with a Coconut Flour Pie Crust. It’s grain free with a dairy free option for those who cannot tolerate dairy.

Good morning! This week I’m sharing our 3 minute baba ghanoush recipe. For those not familiar with this tasty middle eastern dip, it’s a lot like hummus, only it’s GAPS-friendly as there’s no garbanzo beans in it. Have a lovely weekend. :)

Thanks so much for hosting! Today I am sharing a recipe for Mashed Potatoes & Cauliflower! It’s our new favorite recipes for mashed potatoes! I’ll be making these for Thanksgiving and using the leftovers to make a soup and a tart! Mmmmm! Can’t wait!

Hi, I’m sharing a new recipe for a mock rye bread which is gluten-free thanks to the fact that it’s made with acorn and buckwheat flours. I’ve been enjoying sandwiches all week, which doesn’t happen too often in my house.

Hi,
I shared a super easy cauliflower recipe and a post on a very dubious substance found in our food suppy. Have a big fat spelling mistake there too. Sigh.
Thanks for hosting!

Hi Kimi! I posted a blog in our series about “fat” lies focusing this one on why there are conflicts of interest involving our food and nutrition statements. My second is a sweet treat from my hubby’s Filipino culture — Turon. YUM!

Pat @ Elegantly, Gluten-Free November 17, 2011 at 9:24 am

Kimi — thanks for your interesting posts and lovely photos. Today I’m linking Butternut Squash Baked with Apple-Walnut-Cinnamon Stuffing. It’s gluten-free, egg-free and meatless. It can also be casein-free, dairy-free and lactose-free with an appropriate butter substitute. And, since it uses agave nectar and apples for sweetening, it’s low glycemic and refined sugar-free. Most of all, though, I like it because of its flavor and nutrition.

We’ve turned to nourishing beans and lentils and homemade stock to be healthy and frugal during the colder months. Thought I’d share a recipe for lentil and bean soup!

Here’s a tasty and nourishing beef stew that can be made in the crock pot and left to simmer all day long. There wasn’t a drop left in my household!
