About Products Selected

This site is designed with brand new cooks in mind. Because of that you will see a lot of items linked here. For an experienced cook it is easy to recognize what the difference between a pot, a sauce pan, a casserole, etc. means. But if you are brand new to the cooking from scratch idea it can be confusing. All products linked are meant to give you a clear idea of what kinds of items I am referring to. These items linked also represent brands that I am familiar with, that I have found to be high quality and I find them to be fairly priced and long lasting for regular use.

For pots and pans I prefer the quality of Circulon brand above higher priced brands and their longevity above lower priced brands. For glass bowls and bake ware I prefer Pyrex. For low priced kitchen ware I prefer Norpro. For smaller quantities of dried goods I prefer Bob's Red Mill, which I can find at all of my local stores. For larger quantities I prefer ordering from Barry Farm. I often use the bulk section at my stores as well. While it is certainly less expensive to make stock at home, it is far more convenient to purchase it. I like Pacific Natural Foods and Imagine Foods low sodium broths. These suggestions are designed to make your food preparation easier and affordable. You'll also be able to accurately duplicate the recipes on this site and the meals seen on Frugal Feeds Videos. Look for all of these products and kitchen items at your local stores or click on the links and it will take you to where you can buy them online. (Although many of the items will cost more with shipping than they will if you can find them at your local store).

Frugal Feeds | Raw Diet Day 15

Raw Diet Day 15:

For breakfast I made a juice of 2 pink lady apples, 1 small beet, 4 medium carrots with their tops, 1 small handful of mint and 1 cup of cranberries. It was tangy and sweet and very delicious. If you make this juice be sure to brush your teeth right after as the beet juice turns your teeth a rosy red color :)

For lunch I made burritos using a nut filling that combined the left-over sunflower seed taco filling from Raw Food/Real World and a cup and a half sized recipe of the walnut taco filling I made earlier this week. I didn't dehydrate it though, just mixed it with the left-over sunflower seed taco filling. I used medium sized collard green leaves with their long stem cut off for the wrapper. I scooped two or three tablespoons of filling onto each collard green. I topped that with red bell pepper, cilantro, green onions and avocado. Then topped it all with a few tablespoons of left-over mole sauce from when we had tamales. Folded it up like a burrito. Made 4 burritos. I had two. Very yummy and satisfying.

Tonight we'll be having a large salad with crackers. I'll be making the crackers using the same recipe as before but using the left over pecan meal from when I made pecan milk the other day and only making half of the recipe.

Spicy Crackers

1 cup of pecan meal
1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes
1 red bell pepper
1 jalepeno
1 cup flax seed meal
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 Tablespoon cumin powder
1/2 Tablespoon chili powder
1/2 Tablespoon Sea Salt (plus a sprinkling on top halfway through dehydrating)
1/4 cup cilantro and basil

Process all above. Spread on solid dehydrator sheet. Dehydrate at 105 for 6 hours. Remove from tray, score or cut into shapes, sprinkle with sea salt. Return to dehydrator on perforated tray and continue to dehydrate until crispy, between 4-6 hours.
