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 21

Raw Diet Day 21:

For breakfast I had two Valencia oranges.

For morning snack I made a juice of 6 small apples, 1 cup of defrosted cranberries and 2 thumbs of ginger root. It was very sweet, spicy and tangy. Loved it. I found that the ginger did help clear up quite a bit of the congestion but still sneezing like crazy. The juice made a very pretty rose colored drink:


Too bad I drank most of it before I thought to take a picture :\

For lunch I had a small mixed Italian lettuce salad with mixed sea vegetables and a 1/4 cup of cashews. I also had half of a slice of manna bread with raw nut butter and raw honey. On the side I had 4 sugar snap peas and 4 baby carrots. I made another rosy juice to drink.

For snack I had a large blueberry and banana smoothie. Two medium bananas, 1 cup frozen  blueberries and 1 cup vanilla almond milk sweetened with raw honey. It came out like a dark concord grape color and very delicious. It made 2 1/2 cups.


I signed up for SparkPeople recipe database. I will put the recipes in as I go along. To start off I added the Raw Rosy Juice and the Raw Blueberry Banana Smoothie with Almond Milk.  Under the Nutritional Info label is a link to "View full nutritional breakdown", in that link a pop-up window will tell you about the vitamins and minerals in the recipe.

For dinner I had 1 1/2 cups kelp noodles covered in a raw alfredo sauce. You can find this recipe here. The noodles were warmed under running hot water. The alfredo sauce was made up of a cup of pureed cashews with water (enough to blend), a large pinch of sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon of raw garlic (you might want to cut that down, I am trying to clear congestion), a squeeze of fresh lemon (a Tablespoon?), fresh black pepper and parsley. Makes enough sauce for two servings.
