No Spend Month

How our family is spent as little as possible this month.

We spent $20 a week on food, fun, and frivolities. We used up what we had, bought few essentials, and lived well.

Here are the glory details of Week Four and Four and a half!

Yes, glory details. Because I'm (still) clever.

Two Ingredient Banana Coconut Cookies - SaturDIY, January 14th, 2017

Two Ingredient Banana Coconut Cookies.

You guessed it! They have banana and coconut in them.

I've seen a lot of "two ingredient" recipes (or three or whatever) that include "box of cake mix" or "can of soup" as one of the ingredients. Nope, not these. They have two real foods - Bananas and Coconut. That's it. 

Turns out they make a lovely cookie. 

Gluten-free, grain-free, egg-free, nut-free, soy-free, vegan, "paleo," and more. Unless you're avoiding coconut or bananas, you can eat these!

Making tasty snacks from ingredients at the back of the cupboards - Apricot Coconut Macaroons - dried coconut, eggs, honey, chopped apricots.
