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.

I shared a recipe we’ve developed over the years for waffles made from whole brown rice. They’re “blender batter” style and soaked overnight. We’ve served them to lots of people who aren’t gluten free and everyone loves them. Enjoy!
Peggy
I’d love to have that recipe, Rebecca. I’m new to this site. Can you tell me how to find it?
megan
Hi Peggy,
I had to figure it out too! Scroll up a few to where it says:
“This site is using Mister Linky’s Magical Widgets. Click here to display the links for this post.” Click the word link “here” and it will take you to the recipe links.

I kept thinking I’d find a recipe for acorn and/or carnival squash to be served in the half shell, but I finally just decided to create one…and I’m so glad I did! Simple flavors blend to make something really wonderful with this recipe. Thanks for hosting, Kimi!
Katie @ Riddlelove
This week I’m sharing our creamy, probiotic-rich ranch dressing. It only takes 2 minutes to make and we go through a quart of it in 2 weeks! 🙂 Thanks for hosting, Kimi.
Amber
This week I shared a great way to use up that left over pumpkin puree in a nourishing, healthy smoothie for my kids. It worked great as an afternoon pick-me-up as we were running out the door to ballet class.
Be Well,

I’ve been playing around with acorn flour, and have come up with a delicious and simple acorn blini. I’m also lucky to have fresh-caught trout come through my house, so it seemed natural to make caviar, and then, how could I resist nourishing creme fraiche? Such a gorgeous combo, and believe it or not, very economical!
Amanda Larson
We grew pumpkins this year and I have been experimenting with different recipes. I linked up my Pumpkin Zucchini Cookie recipe this week. They are soooooo good!
Katie

Thanks for hosting!

Peanuts are technically a legume but are so much like a nut. And, they are pretty damn cheap. But, are they healthy? I take a tiny look into this in a post I published earlier this week.
At the Primal Smoothies site I link to a delicious smoothie recipe with kombucha. Enjoy!
Debbie @ Easy Natural Food
Hi Kimi, thanks for hosting again! This week I’m sharing a Steak and Kidney Stew (another great way to eat more organ meats), and a Vegetable Beef Soup.

Thanks for hosting! Linking up with some Roasted Baby Carrots this week.
Courtney @ Food on the Table
Love the compilation of price-conscious but still yummy dishes. I use grocery store discounts and detailed meal plans to consolidate my planning and spending into less and easier steps.
Melissa @ Dyno-mom
Thanks for hosting, Kimi! This is THE best carnival that I do! Because several ladies mentioned to me the rising price of cream cheese, I wrote a post with instructions on making it at home and a recommendation for the specific culture to use. I hope you all try it because I love spreading the love of all things dairy!
Lea H
I shared my Sesame Chia Green Apple Salad.
Elena
I shared a recipe for fermented brussels sprouts. Thanks for hosting!
Kendahl @ Our Nourishing Roots
I am doing another installment of my Real Food 101 series. This week I show how I make UNSALTY beet kvass. I use more whey and less salt for a bubbly tonic that my sons look forward to drinking each morning with their stock and fresh-pressed juice.

Hi Kimi, and thank you for hosting! Today I am linking to my post on 4 ways to add greens to your diet, besides salads! One way is excellent for teaching children in the process, as well.
Blessings to all,

Thanks for hosting! I shared a recipe for my green tea kombucha (and a brief tutorial). Also, my sweet apple steel oats 🙂
Tracee
I was having trouble linking. Do you have to have a paid Mr linky membership to add a recipe?
Hannah
I have the same question. I can’t link to the carnival.
Here’s the recipe I was going to share anyway:

Thanks Kimi! : )
Vanessa Romero
I was also having trouble with getting the link to work. I wanted to share my post on dairy alternatives. http://www.healthylivinghowto.com/1/post/2011/11/the-cow-says-moo.html Off to read what others have shared! 🙂

I am sharing a recipe for how to make your own pumpkin puree. It saves money to make your own, and one medium size pumpkin makes about 7 cups of puree for all those yummy soups and baked goods that we love during the fall season!

Tessa Simpson
no idea why…I tried several different computers, but when I click the link to see all the posts, the caption “you’re next!” is not linked or clickable to add something…am I doing something wrong?
Kristi Croddy
Here’s my recipe for Water Kefir. It’s bubbly, and fermented, and a wonderful substitution for soda pop. I’ve made Kombucha tea in the past, but this is much easier and has much of the same properties and benefits. Yummy too.
Here’s the link from Mr. Linky. This is new to me, so I’m not sure if I did it right.
Kristi Croddy
I guess the link didn’t really post, so I’ll leave the link:
