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, Kimi!
I shared 5 tips for whole foods on a budget and a yummy recipe for pastured pork chops that is really simple and quick.
Good morning! This week I shared one of my favorite childhood treats – which just happens to be easy to make GAPS Legal! Lemon curd is quick to make and a delightful indulgence, on it’s own or in other dishes like pie, creampuffs, or whatever else you can dream up
I also shared how we make ghee, which is a staple in our kitchen! This clarified butter is a traditional Indian ingredient. It is great for cooking at high temperatures, and many people who can’t tolerate butter can tolerate ghee. Give it a try!
Thanks for hosting,
Joy
Yummy baked custard!

Delish broccoli cauliflower soup recipe
This week I’m sharing a super delicious and healthy recipe – it includes two super foods! AND it still was inexpensive to make!
Quinoa can be expensive, but if you buy it in bulk it’s pretty reasonable. World Market also has reasonable prices!
