Introduction
This journal is dedicated to living a frugal, gluten free life. All the recipes are original creations by me and/or Mr. Frugal, unless noted otherwise.
One concern I've heard expressed by many people with Celiac Disease and Gluten Intolerances is how much their grocery bill increased once they gave up gluten. Another concern is in regards to how ( Read more... ) -

Apricot-Cherry Pork Loin - T&T
I'm not usually a fan of meat cooked in crock pots but this turned out wonderfully. I definitely plan to make this again in the future. Best part? I didn't have to buy any ingredients since I had everything on hand whether as a staple or left over ingredients from previous recipes. This was a great way to use up items (the two preserves, mustard, ( Read more... ) -
Chocolate Covered Strawberries - T&T
This is a recipe my mother taught me recently. She's been making chocolate covered strawberries for years and they are always a hit. They are so decadent. I never realized how easy they are to make!

1/2 bag cooking chocolate chips (any flavor, though I prefer semi-sweet)
Solidified Shortening like Crisco or palm oil ( Read more... ) -
Crustless Mozzarella-Onion Mini-Quiches

1/2 cup milk (we used skim)
shredded mozzarella cheese

Spicy Mushroom Soup - T&T, OR
I made this soup last night. Basically, Mr. Frugal and I got home after doing some rushed grocery shopping at the Crown Asian Market and BJs. Too bad I didn't realize that we are almost out of dried Shiitake mushrooms!!! Guess we'll have to see if there's any at the tiny Korean convenience store around the corner. Anyways, we got home and felt ( Read more... ) -
Quick update and thoughts on Baby Food!
Sorry for not posting in so long!
With a new baby (now not so new!), working full time, and my husband working several nights a week, things have been pretty darned busy. I'm hoping to be a bit more on the ball and post a bit more often.
I started thinking about posting only the recipes I perfected, which is what a number of other blogs do, but I ( Read more... ) -

What's your cooking style?
Quick hodge-podge meals. Honestly. That’s part of why I LOVE making Asian inspired foods. Stir-fries are pretty quick, easy, healthy, and usually inexpensive. I do like to experiment with foods, recipes and styles from different countries and regions (including my own). I love recipes, especially when I’m trying a style ( Read more... )
