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 17

Raw Diet Day 17:

I was able to set up my raised bed of straw bales and quite a lot of top soil, compost and peat moss. It is three feet deep by four feet wide. I will be able to put in 15 spring peas, 4 tomato plants, 4 squash plants, 4 pepper plants and 3 melon plants into the bales as well as all of the herbs I want, dozens of carrots, several rows of lettuces, several rows of stevia plants a few broccoli plants and several beets. I will also start sprouting this week. Once it is a little warmer I will also run a row of corn mixed with beans and peas and a few dozen sunflowers. It will be a great garden in just a few weeks from now.

For breakfast I had a cereal of chopped almonds, walnuts, pecans, coconut, dried currants, raisins, and cinnamon with almond milk.

For lunch I had a large mixed salad with mixed raw fish from the sushi restaurant here in town.

For dinner I wasn't hungry so had an avocado with sea salt and nutritional yeast.
