Easy Homemade Hummus Recipe!

03/15/13

Hummus is one of my absolute favorite frugal recipes.  It's SO easy to make and it's good with a variety of veggies and perfect for pitas and homemade falafels! This is the recipe that I use the most.  I tried figuring out a good recipe that didn't use Tahini but, in my opinion, you just have to have the Tahini.  I know that some people enjoy the flavor of Peanut Butter instead of Tahini, but I ...

Homemade Natural Carpet Shampoo/Cleaner For Carpet Cleaning Machines!

03/12/13

I have been wanting one of these Bissell Little Green Deep Cleaners for a while and Ryan got one for me for Christmas!  Yay!! One of the "Christmas presents" I typically ask for every year is to have our carpets cleaned for the holidays because with 3 kids running around the house they get dirty pretty quickly and end up with lots of stains in a year's time.

How To Make Green Slime For CHEAP With Ingredients You Already Have!

03/11/13

I just made this green slime with one of our homeschool co-op classes last week and it was a big hit!  It's easy to make (although it can be a little messy, especially the part where you cut open the highlighter) and lasts for a few days too. It can be just a ball of slime to squish, you can roll it out and use cookie cutters to make shapes, or you can let it drop from your fingers to create a ...

How To Ripen Bananas For Baking In Less Than 10 Minutes!

I don't think there was a morning this week that I didn't have my coconut flour bake for breakfast! I've even started putting banana bread spices in it (and sometimes a few chocolate chips on top :) ) and it's definitely my new favorite thing! But sometimes the store doesn't have bananas that are even close to fully ripe (you need 3 bananas for the recipe) so I wanted to share how I ripen them ...

5 Uses For Soap Nuts {Shampoo, Body Wash, Toothpaste, Laundry Detergent, & Cleaning!}

03/06/13

  Have you heard of soap nuts?  I hadn't until a couple of years ago. There's a genus of plants called Sapindus that creates a fruit that can be used as soap!  And HAS been used as soap much much longer than Dial, Softsoap, and Tide have been around. And guess what?  These little fruit pods called Soapnuts are MUCH less expensive than any of those name brands anyway!  And by "MUCH ...

Gluten-Free & Grain-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Gluten Free and Grain Free Chocolate Chip Cookies!!

I've been doing pretty well with this whole grain-free thing, but one thing that I've really missed are occasional sweets!  I've gotten the hang of cooking meals with no grains, but I'm just now getting the hang of the dessert part of a grain-free lifestyle.  I've been wanting to make some grain-free chocolate chip cookies and so decided to try to figure out how to make some this past ...
