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.

Hello Kimi! This week I’m sharing a recipe for a Crustless Pumpkin Pie, sweetened with dates! http://thecoconutmama.com/2011/12/crustless-fruit-sweetened-pumpkin-pie/
Thanks for hosting!
I shared my post about the real food and natural cleaning supplies that I purchase at Costco. Costco carries a lot of processed junk but I’ve found that they have quite a few items that help me save money on real food.
Thanks for hosting. I really enjoy the recipes each week. I linked a delicious mushroom risotto that is especially good for the holidays.
Thanks for hosting Kimi! Blessings!
Hi Kimi!
Sharing my first grain free cookie recipe – Chocolate Chip Coconut Macadamia – they are great! and a post on 6 Tips For Whole Healthy at Christmas (and anytime of year, really)/
Enjoy!
Dandelions! We forage from our own backyard and have fun with the kids blowing seeds. Use them in salads and cook them with your other greens. Free, yummy and great for your kidneys and liver.
Sharing our recipe for w/w chocolate gingerbread muffins — enjoy! Thanks for hosting; I always enjoy browsing through the links and discovering new recipes and ideas.
Blessings,
Lisa
Hello! This week I’m sharing our white chocolate macadamia Lara(ish) bar recipe. It’s a quick, protein-filled snack to take on all those holiday errands/get-togethers.
Thanks for hosting!
Thanks for hosting! I shared a Spiced Pumpkin Smoothie recipe (w/ vegan-option). Creamy, spicy and sweet, it’s wonderful for breakfast, a snack or dessert. Thanks again!

Hi Kimi, thanks for hosting. My post is about winter produce at the farmers market – support your farmers throughout the whole year, not just summer!
We posted our Turkey Thai Basil, an excellent repurposing of leftover turkey meat – which we can find for $.49/lb right now!

I shared my take on 10 ideas/gifts for those new to real food. These are my tried and true items that I have personally used in my real food transition. I hope they help anyone who is interested! (They are also fairly frugal, some of them. Others simply help save money in the long run since they are quality items you don’t need to replace too often.)

I share how I make whey from yogurt and why you should avoid whey powder from the store.
Thanks for hosting, Kimi!
Also decided to share how we save a bundle on doctor bills – with a homemade concoction that our family of seven won’t leave home without!

Hi! I just posted my recipe for “Breakfast Cookies.” They’re nutritious and the perfect food to pack when you travel this holiday season. Plus they’re safe for people with Peanut/Tree Nut allergies. This is my first time sharing on the Pennywise Platter. Thanks for the opportunity!
My apologies for the bad link (#47). The next link (#48) is correct.
