friedsig: a DIY, non-monetized project

just want to be totally clear about this.

friedsig is a radical diy project. i strongly believe that information should be free. i do not like advertising.

i do not monetize these recipes in any way, shape, or form.
i have never placed any advertising on any page at all.

these banners are placed by wordpress without my consent. this is a “free account” and so wordpress has the authority to do whatever they want. i make $0 from this blog regardless of traffic. any advertising on this or any page on friedsig is placed by wordpress for wordpress to make money.

i am glad for the free website and i like wordpress much better than its competitors. if the presence of ads irritates you and you would like to fund their removal, you can leave a comment. otherwise, we’ll all have to deal with them. having said that, advertisements are placed by wordpress and do not go towards the maintenance of the site.

please block all ads on this website with adblock plus, ublock, or your adblocker browser add-on of choice.

 

tl;dr: i have neither made nor spent a single dollar on this website. wordpress has placed advertising banners on this website so they can make money off us.

five years!

today is my five-year anniversary of bringing you recipes. 380 recipes later, i just want to thank you for being there.

quick recipes

Added a new tag – “quick” – for quick recipes!

When hunger pounces, fast food is a temptation! Why pay out the nose for food that will make you feel sick when you can grab a quick 5 minute warm chickpea and feta salad and feel like a superhero? Not all these recipes will be healthy – but they’re all a million times more delicious (and healthier) than drive-thru or frozen meals!

siegfried’s fried sig.

about me:

my food philosophy is DIY.

the header image is lamb’s quarter, a delicious chenopodium (goosefoot) that seeds itself in our raised beds. no matter what fancy plants we try to coax from the soil, lamb’s quarter shoots up, sometimes to six feet. it produces delicious spinach-like tender greens and a particular kind of sparkle that makes them look magickal. these grow in waste lots and polluted areas, providing a little hope we may someday return to eating from our backyards.

please ask if you have questions.
