I don’t know about you, but I have a hard time paying $8 for a GF cup-for-cup flour blend. In fact, I’ve never bought even a bag of that stuff, on principle. Doesn’t seem right to capitalize that much on others’ health-related need for GF flours. But enough of my rant–let me tell you what…

Recipe for DIY Corn-Free Baking Powder
If you have intolerances or food allergies, you know it can get tiring trying to read all the ingredients and look for “safe” consumable goods! When I started my hormone recovery journey, I went gluten-free and soy-free. That was a lot of effort, and I guess I was well-prepared for eliminating an even longer list. …
The No-Spend Month Conclusion

They’re probably all sold out…
Old Vanity = New Window Seat!
We are remodeling our master bathroom and while I enjoy doing things the frugal way, I didn’t have the energy to paint or refinish the old vanity. But then I had a hard time just taking it to the Re-store or tossing it away. So I told my dad what I was thinking of for…
