Homemade Almond Butter

Homemade Almond Butter

This Homemade Almond Butter is SO easy.. and you don’t need any special equipment. I have a pretty crummy food processor and that is what I made it in and it turned out great. It’s super quick and can definitely save you a few dollars over the very high price of almond butter. You can also do this with most ANY nut, not only almonds. Probably to most cost effective are sunflower seeds (not nuts, of course).  I can pick {Read More}

Broccoli Cashew Chicken

Broccoli Cashew Chicken Who’s ready for dinner?? Last night I made this Broccoli Cashew Chicken and it turned out great.. no recipe or anything. So I am sharing it with you so your family might enjoy it! It was funny because there were two pieces of broccoli left and I didn’t know quite what to do with them and was just going to toss them (I know.. bad “frugal momma”). But just as I was doing it my youngest stepped {Read More}

Dad’s Lemon Meringue Pie

January 22, 2016 by jlpenner Leave a Comment

Dad’s Lemon Meringue Pie

My husband cooks/bakes two things (if you don’t count hot dog soup from college… which I don’t). brownies from the box and pie (either lemon meringue or coconut cream).
