About Me
Posted by admin on August 8, 2007 | 21 Comments
I founded the informational site Go Dairy Free in 2004, wrote the limited edition guide Dairy Free Made Easy in 2006, and followed up with a sequel in late 2008, Go Dairy Free: The Guide and Cookbook for Milk Allergies, Lactose Intolerance, and Casein-Free Living.
While my cooking is always dairy-free, I wanted an outlet for my other foodie passion, value. Honestly, I love food…Good food. Don’t think for a minute that this is a cheapo top ramen site. However, both my husband and I have a love for finding the best deals possible and creating inexpensive meals that suit special diets such as our own. The very idea of paying more than we have to for absolutely anything elicits horrific looks of pain and torture.
So, follow me along as I learn to cook, continue to bake, share every good deal, meal, and idea I can find, and prove that special diets (dairy-free, gluten-free, etc.) can actually be less expensive while tasting great! Oh yes, please do feel free to share your own ideas and recipes too.
Questions? Feel free to contact me via this page. Just ask for Alisa.

[...] Frugal Foodie About Me Quality, Simplicity, and the Pursuit of [...]
Hi
I have just come across this blog today and think it is great. I have built my own website called frugal living tips and one of the areas is frugal cooking. What i was hope for was that vistors would come and submit their own frugal recipes etc. I was wondering if i could use several of your recipes on my site, the pages would include a link to your site so that you would benefit from search engine link popularity.
I hope you will allow me to do this or if you prefer you could submit them yourself. Your recipes are great and would benefit my vistors. The pages for my frugal cooking tips is here http://www.frugal-living-tips.com/frugal-recipes.html it contains a link to the submit form.
I hope to hear from you soon and i hope you didn’t mind me contacting you like this but i am trying to find quality links and content so i am contacting people indivdually.
Anyway i hope to hear from you soon. Kate
Alisa! How did I not know that this site was here… that you had your own food blog!!! I love it. Added it to my list and will add to my site. You are amazing!

I Absolutely love your motto! Eating well should never be unaffordable.
Thanks for leading by example!
I agree. One can make delicious meals without spending a lot of money. It only takes some thought and imagination.
I totally agree with you, eating well/healthy shouldn’t be expensive and the best part is that you can prepare it in the comfort of our own home with a touch of creativity!
thanks for the comment on Non-Dairy Eggless Brownies
Love your blog’s theme! I hate paying more than I have to when it comes to ingredients for cooking. I try to be frugal whenever I can, too! Great concept!
Somehow found my way here from twitter and glad I did. Love to come across others ‘eating well on the lean.’ Will add you to my Market to Mouth blogroll.

Happy belated birthday! I’m an october baby myself! I wanted to thank you for posting my food allergy and feeding difficulties blog post!! It was so exciting to see on your site and made me feel famous for the day! I hope you had a successful move and can relax a bit!
Nice website and very informative. I’m trying to experiment more with dairy free and wheat free recipes since there is a growing demand for them these days.
Came over from $5 Dinners and so glad I found you! I am ALWAYS trying to feed my family good clean foods but stay within a budget! Looking forward to following your site and getting some yummy tips!
So good to meet other frugal foodies! Your recipes look fabulous.
What a great theme for a blog! I’m SO frugally foodistic – totally looking forward to reading more posts and uncovering more ways to ‘frugalize’ my eats!

Hi Alisa,
Love your website name and especially love your site. Im going to make the strawberry smoothie you posted. I am lucky to not have food alergies, but I like the idea of not using a lot of gluten products when cooking. My friend and fellow blogger gasp now when something is expensive in a resturaunt and we can make it at home so much quicker. I am going to try a bunch of your recipes and blog about them.

Just discovered you via my Linked In food blogger group. great blog/site and lots of delicious and healthy recipes. I enjoyed your writing and photography as well. I consider myself very frugal, very much a healthy eater, so your focus definitely appeals to me! I also have a blog with a healthy focus. Look forward to checking back!
I love your site! I have been searching for vegan recipes that are dairy free. I also elimatinated eggs too. I love the variety of choices of recipes. You did great!

I also wonder if someday there will be a vegan channel for us and the allergies people have in food.
I got your book about one month ago, and I love it! Thanks for your wonderful recipes and great advice.
Love your blog! Would you mind if we listed you on our blogroll?
