Hey everyone! Sorry about the missed week, last week! I am feeling much better. Please feel free to link to your posts from last week too.
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.

Here’s my favorite hot cocoa drink!! 🙂
Here’s one classic food from my place. Thanks for hosting the party.
Happy Thursday! I am sharing my recipe for Pureed Zucchini Soup With Sun Dried Tomato. Since it is pureed, this soup will freeze really well.
Thanks for hosting!
I hope you like my salmon patties! Thanks for hosting. Those Lara bars look fantastic!
I’m sharing my experiment making banh mi at home, along with the pork liver pate recipe I used for it, using pork liver I got for free!
Thanks for hosting. I posted my experiments in making truffles, and the resulting (very tasty) cherry vanilla truffle recipe.
I posted my Almond Butter + Coconut Butter = Almond Coconut Butter. Turned out great!!!
This week I’ve shared a salad recipe that makes a good side dish or snack for the beginning of spring. It’s also good potluck fare. Thank you for hosting!
Sharing my method for making yogurt! Thanks, Kimi! 🙂
A bit tongue in cheek – but then again not – Soylent Green’s up for dinner!
I don’t have a blog, but wanted to post this recipe for a nourishing custard pudding. It’s from the 1952 Betty Crocker cookbook. (My mom won this as a prize when she was married on the TV show Bride & Groom).
Cornstarch Custard Pudding
Mix together in a saucepan:
1/4 cup organic sugar or rapadura
2 T organic cornstarch
1/4 t salt
1 egg (or two egg yolks)
Stir in gradually
2 cups milk (from grass-fed cows preferred)
Cook over low heat stirring until mixture boils. Boil 1 minute. Blend in
1T butter (optional)
1-1/2 t vanilla extract
Pour into 6 serving dishes and chill.
They are smallish servings by SAD standards, but they are just enough and at 6 servings, the sugar is 2t per serving.
I do a very similar recipe but instead of the sugar crystals I use about 3 T honey, agave (light for vanilla or dark for chocolate) or maple syrup (depending on my mood). I love it.
Anyone else ready for spring? I’m hoping to try foraging this year.
Hi Everyone!
Please enjoy my post on fresh herbs and a recipe of roasted butternut squash with said fresh herbs!

Have a fabulous day,
Bonnie.
I’ve linked up to posts about blueberry banana muffins, bunless burgers with homemade GAPS-ketchup, chicken bones as a snack, and breastfeeding. Thanks for hosting, and I’m glad you’re feeling better!
Even though these enchiladas are “paleo”, I’m pretty sure our paleolithic ancestors didn’t dine this well. I hope you enjoy my recipe!
Hi Kimi,
I’m glad you’re feeling better. My husband had the flu last week and felt the same way.
Today’s post is a guest post about avoiding GMO’s when we eat out. Thanks for posting!
Love the spring strawberries, so fragrant and fresh! Spinach-Strawberry Salad is a great way to say hello to spring 🙂
Thanks for hosting! Looking forward to visiting the other links and gleaning from everyone’s posts. Today I’m sharing our latest muffin, lemon poppy seed made with whole wheat pastry flour. These turned out wonderfully — you would never know they are made with whole wheat! Blessings! ~Lisa
I shared our favorite variation on quick and cheap breakfast oatmeal. Thanks for hosting!
Here is my Cajun Casserole! So easy, so good!
I’m so glad you’re feeling better this week! My entry today is a comfort food for us when we’re feeling poorly, or when the weather is getting to us — Beef Vegetable Soup. This time I made it with Italian vegetables and Italian seasoning, just to for variety. It is gluten-free and dairy-free. I hope you like it!
Glad you’re back with Pennywise Platter and feeling better!
I’ve linked to my Date Filled Apple Muffins. I used apples straight from the tree & eggs from the chickens in the backyard–can’t get more frugal than free! 😉
Hi Kimmi! Glad you are feeling better! It’s always a good idea to slow down when feeling sick. Glad you too the time to honor yourself. I am linking up a food adventure I had yesterday making Mark Bittman Gnocchis with foraged white pine needle salt! It was delicious! All the best, Alex
Just posted my recipe for squash and greens. It’s super cheap, easy and vegan. This is my first time posting so I’m not sure why it posted my name (number 46). Is there something I should’ve done differently so that it shows my recipe name instead?
Baked lentils with cheese…a favorite around here!
I am sharing a primal/paleo “happy meal” that cost me $3.90. It is FULL of nutrition and will make you feel AWESOME. Something that McDonalds “happy meals” is missing.
Enjoy!
I added my super veggie kale chips. Thanks for hosting!
And I “liked” your site on Facebook! Pretty neat!
This is a wonderful easy-peasy recipe for homemade Labneh. It’s a soft yogurt cheese that can substitute for cream cheese and sour cream! YUM!
Two weeks worth of Low Cost Clean Eating Meal plans 🙂 Definitely check out the pork tenderloin with roasted grape sauce from this week http://freezeyourwayfit.blogspot.com/2011/03/clean-eating-low-cost-weekly-meal-plan_22.html and the salmon patties and green been fries from this week http://freezeyourwayfit.blogspot.com/2011/03/clean-eating-low-cost-weekly-meal-plan_14.html

Hi Kimmie I made a few boo boo’s sorry number 60 I wrote my name instead of blog details and recipe can you delete it please …sorry
Late to the party 😉 but I linked up Chewy Granola Bars, which are so versatile and can be made with frugal ingredients or as shown and still fit PPT because there are only small amounts required of the more expensive ingredients like almond flour and coconut flour if you do decide to use those. Many readers have made these already and loved them, telling how they made their versions in comments.
I see lots of posts here that I want to check out. Thanks for hosting, Kimi! So glad you’re feeling better. 🙂

I shared my recipe for some of my favorite pancakes (oat!). 🙂 My friend is sensitive to gluten, and she introduced me to these lovely little dandies one morning.
Hi! Thanks for hosting….I’m a bit late. I’m sharing Lemon Cranberry Muffins & FAVE breakfast options this week. I use freshly ground whole wheat flour in them. 🙂
The new picture looks great Kimi!
I linked to this week’s frugal recipe, an off-the-cuff recipe that was surprisingly nourishing and delicious! It’s called Kitchen-Raid Sloppy Joes because it came about as I decided at the last minute to make dinner for my sister and her kids, using what I could find in her kitchen.
This weeks post is the top 10 superfoods for your diet….Thanks!
