Who Knew $3 Could Buy You This Much Health?

Tips, Ideas, and Deals6 Comments

When we moved back to Lake Tahoe I was elated to return to our old doctor. He brings decades of emergency room work to the table, but he merges his medical training with the studies he acquired over ten years ago in alternative medicine. I love that he looks at the whole person, seeks out causes rather than just treating symptoms, and how he doesn’t frown upon Eastern or Western medicine. He uses both. All that matters to him is […]

Gift of Homemade Jam

Tips, Ideas, and Deals18 Comments

I love it when the holidays just keep on giving! Four days into the new year, and what should arrive, but a wonderful gift package from Maggie at Dog Hill Kitchen. Out of the blue this lovely lady sent me a gift of homemade treats, including caramels, jams, and almond cookies (for taste-testing the jam!). And these aren’t just any jams … Is she amazing or what? Of course, I am not going to leave you all hanging. Though I […]

How Do You Sweeten?

Tips, Ideas, and Deals15 Comments

In my inbox today, I received an email from Mambo Sprouts with information about, and a coupon from Florida Crystals. You can get the coupon yourself and print it at floridacrystalscoupon.com, but it is a wee bit different from your average coupon. They offer you the chance to “donate” a portion of your coupon to the Jaguar Conservation Fund. Yeah, I know, playing the guilt on us foodies trying to save a nickel during these hard economic times … while […]

Let’s try that Awesome $3.00 off Coupon Again, Shall We?

Tips, Ideas, and Deals3 Comments

Last month I posted about a $3.00 off coupon for Hain Celestial products, but some of you have trouble with the printing. Well, I finally have a source page that should work for everyone (hopefully you can still find the items on sale too for even more value!). Plus, it looks like a pretty cool site on holiday entertaining from that mega-natural food corp. They have the printable coupon, sweepstakes, and recipes here – www.entertainingnaturally.com. Enjoy!

Your Recommendations: Holiday Party Recipes

Tips, Ideas, and Deals15 Comments

Believe it or not, we have never thrown a holiday party. Our first home was quite remote, and since our more centralized friends had a party every year, we just never bothered. But this year, the key party-throwers not only have two little ones in tow, but they are also planning a three-week trip to Germany for the holidays to be with family. So it is up to us and our new centrally located home to throw a winning holiday […]

Hain Celestial has been emailing around a printable coupon for $3.00 off 3 products (that link should take you straight to print it) from there Spectrum, Hain Pure Foods, Imagine, Sunspire, and Arrowhead Mills product lines. The coupons are also affixed to several of their chicken broth packages in stores. Since it is the holidays, many of these products are also on sale (Sunspire chocolate and carob chips, broths, flours (gluten-free and regular), etc). I used two of the coupons […]

Speaking of deals, I have a few things to share for the upcoming week. Stick with me here, I will jump onto a few different things in this post … I am going to be hosting “A Week of Favorite Cookbooks“ Giveaway, starting on Monday, and lasting […]

Calling All Recipe Addicts …

Alisa's Recipes, Tips, Ideas, and Deals11 Comments

I have a few super-duper recipe-related offers and fundraisers to share: Cooking Light Subscription (one year) is JUST $5.00 – this week only!!! – http://tinyurl.com/yafobda While you are on Amazon, I highly recommend the Good Earth Tea deal (comes out to just $2 a box, I bought the Cool Mint Tea and the Sweet & Spicy Red – Love the White Tea too, but have ample supply). They’ve also got a pretty sweet deal on Dr. Kracker products (didn’t buy […]

Random Bites of Autumn Deliciousness

Alisa's Recipes, Tips, Ideas, and Deals16 Comments

I haven’t created many unique and stellar recipes this past week … in fact, since we have been quite busy, I have been enjoying simplicity a bit. Don’t worry, this isn’t just a “what I ate” post. Think of it like a collection of mini recipes. Lunch all week has been two poached eggs atop whatever vegetables need to be eaten most urgently. But, I did fit in a “new to me” veggie. What could that be nestled in that […]

Sweet Deals – Literally!

Tips, Ideas, and Deals9 Comments

Lately we have been using mostly liquid sweeteners in our household, but they can be pricey … unless you shop around … I received a wonderful gift of homegrown honey from Shirley at Gluten-Free Easily (from bees in her own backyard!), but needless to say, that treasure was devoured quickly. With my husband growing cranky for a sweetener for his coffee, but not willing to sacrafice the “raw, unfiltered, and domestic” status or pay an arm and a leg, he […]

Cooking Light Makeover: The Good, The Bad, and The Peanut Butter

Cookbook Trials, Tips, Ideas, and Deals11 Comments

A few weeks ago I received an email from a Cooking Light rep about checking out their September issue, which was the first month to sport their “new look.” As you may have read prior, I broke down earlier this year and indulged in a subscription (read my note at the end before you think about doing it yourself!), so she didn’t need to send me a copy, mine was already on its way. My take on the “new Cooking […]

Inexpenive Maple Syrup! Yes, You Heard Me

Tips, Ideas, and Deals13 Comments

What a dork. I posted about this great maple syrup dealio on Go Dairy Free, but not here on my frugal blog. Luckily, there is still time to share, since this deal goes until the end of the month. I bought two jugs of the grade B (am debating buying more), which has a richer maple flavor. If you prefer, Grade A is available for the same price. Here is the summary of the deal that I posted: “Recipes that glug back […]

Alisa’s Completely Informal Energy Bar Awards

Health and Fitness, Tips, Ideas, and Deals23 Comments

I don’t have a special logo to offer, and I haven’t held a formal panel to taste test every last bar on the market … but I have tasted quite a few bars (dozens in fact) and outgrown some brands as better options have come along … so I thought I would share the ones I keep going back for again and again. To be considered for Alisa’s Completely Informal Energy Bar Awards, said bars must be dairy-free (that is, made without […]
