I failed to participate in last week’s Nourishing Frugal Foods carnival, though I had intended to. Things have kind of slipped away from me lately. They just have. This week’s carnival is hosted at Keeper of the Home and focuses on Sides, Salads and Desserts.

Though many will disagree with me, I don’t think eating a wholesome diet based on traditionally-prepared food needs or should be expensive; rather, proper kitchen management and a being mindful of crops, harvest and using every bit you can will help minimize the cost associated with buying grass-fed meats, pastured eggs and poultry, raw dairy or local and sustainably grown fruits and vegetables. You can read more of my take on food and money here.

On to the food:

• Simple Salad for Those Who Burn Water: Approximately $0.89 a serving!
• Herbed Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes: Approximately $0.93 a serving!
• Blueberry Clafoutis: Approximately $1.23 a serving!

The Nourishing Gourmet–always an excellent source for information on nutritive whole foods–and Keeper of the Home are sponsoring a Nourishing Frugal Foods carnival.   Given the rising costs of food, these two women have devised a simple carnival that illustrates how we can still prepare nourishing meals for a low cost.   And this idea is definitely right up my alley, so I will definitely participate.

Here’s how it will work:

• Friday, July 11th will focus on main dishes and if you’re interested in participating, head over to the Nourishing Gourmet to post your recipes.
• Friday, July 18th will focus on Sides, Salads and Desserts and if you’re interested in participating, head over to the Keeper of the Home to post your recipes.
