Cooking on a Budget

Budgeting isn't the most fun, especially while worrying about your health, and your assignments... All that to say, there is a way to go shopping for food and not spend a fortune on all the food that it takes to eat the anti-candida way.  Luckily we can't have all that junk with sweetner and preservatives  and such so our favorite section in the grocery store is... THE BULK section.  Grab a bag and have a party.  I specifically buy nutmix in bulk, rice noodles, rice, lentils, carob powder. millet, buckwheat, various seeds.  All these things are great for the baked goods and snacks you need and a lot cheaper than name brand snacks. 

Learning to buy products in bulk and then just cook and bake sweets, treats, and snacks ahead of time will save you lots of money. 

I enjoy making cake in a mug for an afternoon snack, or on my way to class. 

All you need is a mug, just like this one shown below:

1/2 t Baking powder
1/2 C Teff Flour
1/4 C Water

Stir the contents in your mug until paste like, add more water as needed not too wet, not too dry.

Put mug in microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds. 

Top with butter, cinnamon and some agave or stevia.  OR a dash of homemade sherbet.

This is the cheapest version as well as the fastest.  So when I'm lazy and I need something to curb the lion snarling in my stomach while trying to pound out an essay this is what I go for.  You can also make a brownie in a mug as well as many others. This is perfect for the college student because you can make it right in your microwave. 

Happy Candida Fighting, you can do it!
