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 22

Raw Diet Day 22:

For breakfast I had a banana blueberry smoothie, just like the one I made yesterday.

For lunch I had an avocado with sea salt.

The remainder of the day was interrupted by an emergency with my youngest daughter's pet guinea pig. He started screaming and then went into repeated seizures. We took him to the vet and found out that he was having a severe reaction to microscopic mites. They treated him but it took several hours for him to be relieved of the symptoms. He hadn't shown any signs of the mites prior to today except an occasional scratching. Generally when guinea pigs have such serious symptoms as seizures from the mites they have considerable mange, lots of scratching and lots of discomfort, but he didn't have any of that. They will treat him once a week for a month and then the problem should be gone. As of now he is no longer showing any signs of discomfort and hasn't had another seizure for over an hour. It seems that the difficult part is behind him. It was a very hard day for my girl because her last guinea pig had a single seizure and then died of a stroke within the day so she has been anxious all day.

Because of the unexpected events today I don't have much to add for today.
