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.

Kimi — Your deviled egg photos are killer. I posted a Rebuild classic, also on deviled eggs, with my mom on video making deviled eggs including a tutorial on how to peel an egg.

HI Kimi,
I shared my basic brine for chickens, and two articles. I hope you like them!
Thanks again for hosting! I am sharing one of our newest favorite recipes for CHOCOLATE / CAROB SILK PIE W/ GLUTEN FREE CRUST. It is very adaptable for special diets and there are tips for cost savings as well.
Enjoy!
Thanks for hosting this, I shared a recipe for Honeyed Date Apple Bars!

Thank you for hosting! I’ve been on a tomato kick lately—longing for summer, I suppose, in yet another snowstorm—and am sharing a quick and easy sauce recipe.
I’m sharing my new favorite soup recipe … Chicken Vegetable. It’s a great way to get veggies in your kids.
My post for the day is not about being Pennywise, so I didn’t link up, but instead came to meander for a little bit. I want to make sure to wish everyone here a very happy Easter, especially Kimi! Thanks for hosting us all every week!
One of my favorite sides, guacamole!! 🙂 Thanks for hosting Kimi!
Hi Kimi,
I had not blogged in a while, but I am finally back at it. I posted my attempt at using natural dyes for easter eggs. Why ruin a perfect food with artificial colors, when you can dye eggs with foods you probably already have in your kitchen? Happy Easter!
I posted the last in my series of “meal priorities” — our checklist on our fridge that helps us make sure every meal is balanced and nourishing.
Thanks so much for hosting! I shared my super-simple salmon recipe, as well as the steps it took for me to start cooking salmon!
Hi Kimi! I am sharing my recipe for Prune And Sour Cream Muffins. This recipe is gluten free, but it can be made using “regular” flour if you don’t have an issue with gluten.
Thanks for hosting!
I used the same cut of grassfed beef four times! I feel super frugal. 🙂
Thanks for hosting Kimi! I love visiting all the other blogs for so many great ideas!
I am sharing a recipe for my Crispy Cornbread Waffles with an option for soaking the flour. It is one of my husbands favorites!
Blessings,
Mindy
Hi Kimi —
Here are some Butterscotch Bars, a delicate, chewy snack or dessert that is so simple to make from very basic ingredients. The recipe is gluten-free, but regular all-purpose flour can be subbed for the gluten-free flour mix.
Happy Easter!
Pat
I am definitely going to have to use those tips for boiling and peeling eggs. I have been having problems lately!
I am sharing a recipe for thick, chewy Granola Bars. I hope you’ll try them and let me know that you think!
I don’t have a blog, but I thought I would share this recipe this week. We tried these Moroccan Salmon Cakes on Monday and they were delicious! Next time I will use a little less couscous, and gluten free folks could sub quinoa for the couscous. Cheap, different, and healthful!

Kim, I gotta say, not a big egg fan until recently and if I weren’t nightshade free right now I would be all over trying those deviled eggs!
This week I posted how I make sauerkraut (with a 1 year old that loves to be held). I’ve got a little tip in there for mama’s with babies on their hips or only 1 hand! Hope people enjoy it!
As always, such a treat to read your blog and be a part (now)!

home made chocolates, my justification for pastured eggs and a bit of a chemicalized gum rant. all three are my attempts at brain friendly easter. please, no artificial food dyes making my neurotransmitters wonky.
Thanks for hosting, Kimi. Today I shared a family favorite recipe – chicken and gnocchi soup that’s very similar to what they serve at Olive Garden. It’s very economical with leftover chicken and mashed potatoes and homemade broth, plus it’s delicious!
Hi Kimi and all! I’m sharing easy Orange Kiss frozen desserts. Inexpensive to make, but big on presentation and taste. 🙂 Thanks for hosting and I love deviled eggs, too. 😉
