New Family Friendly Grain-Free Cookbook {GIVEAWAY}

May 3rd, 2011 · 1 Comment · What to Buy

Pin ItThe greatest challenge of going grain-free isn’t cutting out the bread, exactly. It’s cutting out the bread, pasta, crackers, rolls, rice, AND oatmeal all at once and still having something left to eat beyond scrambled eggs and yogurt! Finding new recipes is always a daunting task for me. I get in my rut and [...]

Coming Back with Lentils: How to Use and Recipes

October 14th, 2010 · 16 Comments · Frugality, Recipes

Pin ItI never thought I’d appreciate lentils as much as I did last week, when they reappeared on our menu after three weeks with zero grains or legumes whatsoever. “Helloooooo, lentils! How are you today? It’s so wonderful to see you again!” If you have never talked to your food, please don’t come to my [...]
