I really hate using paper towels. Every time I pull one off the roll I feel like I’m watching money go down the drain. Actually, that feeling comes pretty much every time I use a disposable item. Feels like I might as well just throw money in the trash. In fact, I still have most of the package Keep Reading
Easy Blender Mayonnaise
I made a promise to myself a few weeks ago when we were having internet connection trouble that I was going to start getting all my blog posts scheduled ahead of time in the inevitable event that it happened again. And yet, here I am on Monday morning, writing out this recipe. Why? because I Keep Reading
Cutting the Cost: Grinding Vs. Buying
If you asked me the best way to save money on gluten-free food preparation, I’d tell you to grind your own grain. Don’t believe me? Next time you’re in the grocery store, compare the price of a pound of rice, and a pound of rice flour. It’s astonishing. When I first began baking gluten-free, I Keep Reading
Homemade Corn Tortillas
Corn tortillas are just about the easiest gluten-free recipe you will ever make. Get ready to make the best tortillas you will ever taste! After going gluten-free, it didn’t take long to figure out that I didn’t like corn tortillas much. They’re too dry. You can’t roll them up into burritos. The Keep Reading
DIY Hair Cut
I got my hair cut yesterday. Yup. Actually, I cut it myself. Don’t worry, I’ve been cutting my own hair for a while now. Paying for a haircut really stinks, so I used to have one of my sister, or Gabriel, cut my hair. But, I got tired of having such a boring cut, so I decided to try Keep Reading
Brownie-In-A-Mug Mix
I wish I could remember where I found this recipe so I could credit it, but I lost it. I guess that’s the downfall of having a recipe that’s so easy to remember. 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2T. each of cocoa, oil, and milk. Mix together and zap it for a minute. Voila! You have a Keep Reading
“Easy Grow” Garden Picks
Spring is here(yay!), and as always, I’m looking for ways to make our budget stretch a little farther. Food is expensive. Even more so if you choose organic. One of the best and most obvious ways to reduce that expenditure this time of year is through gardening. If you’re new to gardening, it can Keep Reading
Barbecued Meatballs
Ah, meat balls. You know, I’m mostly posting this recipe to make my sister’s mouth water. She loves these things. So do I for that matter. Gabriel and I usually serve them over rice with a side of salad, and/or sweet potatoes. These meatballs are super easy to prepare in large batches and make Keep Reading
Muffin Tin Biscuits
I’ve always been a bit partial to cut-out biscuits. Never liked making drop biscuits, even if they were just going to be covered with gravy. As a result of this bias, I made a lot of crumbly biscuits when I started baking gluten-free. I also made a lot of biscuits that resembled bricks. As it Keep Reading
Breakfast Sausage
For years, my go-to sausage recipe has been simply to add salt, pepper, and sage (and maybe a smidgen of cayenne) to a pound of ground pork. The more sage the better in my opinion (but not in Gabriel’s. Have I mentioned that we have food incompatibility issues? Well, we do*). Now where was I? Oh Keep Reading
