Pennywise Platter Thursday 6/23/11
by KimiHarris on June 23, 2011
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.

Hi! I’m doing my best to preserve my wild harvests in small batches as the season goes on. One of my new favorite forages is wild garlic. Wild garlic pickles and wild garlic butter both taste great, and will be greatly appreciated come wintertime. I hope someone else can use these recipes.

Thanks for hosting again! I have a post on homemade beauty supplies and cutting hair at home. I do this to save money so that I have money to spend on things like grassfed beef AND there are no freaky ingredients in my kids’ bodies or in their hair!

Just wanted to share a fun recipe that can use up some extra sourcream you may have kicking around. The best part is they utilize a fun flour. Why not try spelt in your next baking project to add a little extra nutritional value? We’re having lots of fun trying it in new recipes.

I have shared a fabulous one pot masterpiece! Chicken in the slow cooker! So tasty and so easy and I found that the house only “smells” of chicken for a day rather than the traditional “24 hours” for bone stock! And Trader Joes has whole Free Range Organic chickens for only 2.49 a pound!!!

Simple and delicious, and uber cheap! Kale chips are great as a snack, crumbled on salad, or as a side dish to a nice juicy hamburger.
Enjoy
