My 25¢ “No-Bucks” Soy or Almond Milk Latté
- Amy
- January 17, 2019
I have had a few Starbucks lattés in my time, and they are good. But, at more than $5 each for a soy vanilla latté, it’s not something I want to spend money on regularly. I can make these copycat lattés at home, for about 25¢ each! That is a savings of more than 95%. […]

Restaurant Style Salsa in 5 minutes!

- January 5, 2019
This is one of my favorite things to make, as it is so simple to make, yet tastes really good! It’s great with homemade baked tortilla chips, on all Mexican Foods, and to dress up tofu scramble. The ingredients are deceptively easy for how yummy it tastes! Bottled salsa can be expensive, and has that […]

Recipe: Crustless Vegan Tofu Spinach Quiche
I have been making this a long time, and it’s one of my daughter’s favorite recipes! I used to make quiche with crust before I ditched the unhealthy ingredients, but this is fine without it! I seriously do not miss the crust. This recipe is also very adaptable, too. I have made versions with mushrooms, […]

Scrambled Tofu – Quick Meal Idea for about $.50/serving!
This is one of our favorite quick go-to meals. I can have this on the table in about 15 minutes. I’ll usually make this for dinner with a microwaved potato or toast, and fruit. Leftovers will make an appearance the next day for lunch. I like to warm up a couple of corn tortillas, and […]

I made these pancakes yesterday for my family, and wanted to share the recipe with all of you! I have been using the same basic recipe for a number of years and it is a very reliable recipe. I’ve tried other recipes, and always come back to this one. I like to use Bob’s Whole […]

Every Sunday, I make a big batch of soup for the upcoming week. We usually have it for dinner the night I make it with a salad or bread, etc. During the following week, my husband likes to bring soup every day to work (and he is totally fine with eating the same thing every […]

Strategies Used: Buying in Bulk and Price Book We eat A LOT of rice at my house. It makes an appearance at dinner alongside tostadas, burritos, with stir fried veggies and tofu, etc. My daughter even likes a bowl of it plain with seaweed. I have been known to eat it for breakfast with almond […]
