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’m submitting a frugal way to use leftovers — the only thing you add are a carrot, a rib of celery, and a batch of pie crust!
Hi Kimi,
Today I have a delicous recipe using chicken thighs, Chicken Vindaloo.

It’s been a long time but this is the same great carnival I remember. 🙂
I offer canned salmon as an Omega 3-rich food on a budget. Because of the Omega 3 and the B vitamin content, this is also one of the great foods for depression.
Today I post our yeast-free pizza recipe. I added some fun variation ideas at the end as well, such as adding herbs for zest, and doing pizza pockets as well!
Hope you all enjoy…

Thank you for hosting Kimi! Love your site.
Sharing a hearty, creamy, spicy Italian soup that’s great for warming you up from the inside out! Thanks for hosting!
Grain-free Dairy-free Dessert. Coconut Blondies and Raw Buckeyes
I source organic kombucha mothers from friends or eBay and brew my own kombucha instead of buying bottled stuff. Not only is it DIRT CHEAP, but it’s unpasteurized so none of the good stuff is killed. I can flavour it any way I want, so I have ultimate quality and taste control. Being frugal in this way is about so much more than simply saving moolah, it’s a way to ensure you know what you’re putting in your body (like growing your own vegetable garden). I also make my own sprouts and am attempting to make my own yogurt too! I have quite the little food factory going on in my kitchen and have info about it on my blog.
My strategies for making easy, nourishing, tasty chili for a crowd!
I am submitting my healthy fried fish recipe. It’s nourishing and delicious!
Today I’ve linked Bean Salad with Dijon Dressing which can be made with garbanzos or cannelini beans — or any white bean you like. It’s simple and nutritious as is, or you can serve it over lettuce if you like. Either way, it’s good to “store up” something healthy eating before the Valentine goodies overtake us 😉
I have shared a slow cooker style chicken vegetable soup. It utilizes inexpensive chicken leg quarters and vegetables for a simple, healthy winter soup! Enjoy 🙂

I am linking a super easy and fast fudge ball recipe, sweetened with dates.
I love this series! This is always so much fun and I learn something new every week. Thanks for hosting!
In my own kitchen this week I am talking about making refried beans, in yumbo lard, from dry beans. I could eat them by themselves, and sometimes do. If anyone here has ever wanted to make better ones after opening an icky can or eating sub-par beans in a restaurant, check it out. Bye!
Thanks for hosting! This is such a great place for learning new things and getting inspired!
My recipe is for an all-purpose crustless quiche that is handy for sticking leftovers or almost-to-old produce in!
I’ve been trying new things: Meyer lemons, white asparagus, celery root, and parsnips — just to shake things up a bit. 🙂
Great topic! Thanks for hosting. I am enjoying the links that others have posted.
These are Chinese dumplings aka potstickers or gyozas, using sourdough! Much denser bu much more flavourful as well, and of course, better for our body (:
Please check them out and leave a comment (:
Thanks for hosting the blog hop. This week I’m sharing our easy way to make salmon and brussels sprouts as a one dish simple supper.

This week I’m sharing a refreshing and delicious frozen yogurt recipe with 3 ingredients. I also included a list of ingredients from popular supermarket and frozen yogurt shop brands to show what’s really in these so called “healthy” treats.
Thanks so much for hosting. It all looks great!
