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.

Hi Everyone!
I shared a post for stuffed chicken thighs, with goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes, and pine nuts. Chicken thighs are a bit cheaper than breasts so you can splurge a bit on the stuffing. Or switch them out for some cream cheese, tomato slices, and crushed walnuts! Super easy- spread, roll, bake!

Thanks for hosting. I shared a Fettuccine Alfredo recipe. It’s so yummy! Fresh lemon juice and zest add an extra special flavor to this dish, they help cut the richness too. Thanks again.

Happy Thursday! This week I’m sharing a tip that will help real-food bakers succeed! Just a couple dollars will help you avoid the dreaded burnt or under-done loaves of bread that we’ve all experienced. Especially helpful for those who (like me) have a cheap oven that is inconsistent!

Hi!
This week we posted our cost/savings analysis of our chest freezer! We wanted to know if outside of the obvious convenience, it was worth the money. Oh, boy… we were so surprised at the value that we bought another one 🙂 Now we can save even more money with bulk buying!

Hi Kimi, thanks for hosting. I’m sharing my GAPS friendly Spaghetti Squash Bake, Split Pea and Ham Soup, and my slightly indulgent rice pudding for breakfast 🙂

I just put up my recipe for homemade white chocolate, which I sweetened with honey to make it GAPS legal. Plus, unlike my chocolate chip recipe that contains cocoa powder, this recipe is completely GAPS-legal for even those who cannot tolerate the cocoa powder. Enjoy!
