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 24

Raw Diet Day 24:




At 1:00 I had a juice of two braeburn apples, two large carrots, 1/2 an inch of ginger and about half of a cup of mint. You can find this recipe here.

The potted plants that I brought in yesterday turned out fine and the garden is warm and moist under the covers. It is snowing a little again today and feels pretty cold out there. It is supposed to get to the low 20s tonight and then warm up starting tomorrow to the 50s during the day and 30s at night for several days.

Around 3:30 I had the Macadamia Berry Smoothie, this time making the Macadamia milk first.

Blend 1 cup of Raw Macadamia nuts with 4 cups of water until the nuts are reduced to meal. Strain through a fine mesh sieve, using a spoon or rubber spatula to stir the meal until all of the milk is strained through. You will end up with nearly a cup of nut meal like so:


Store this nut meal covered in the refrigerator and use it to make recipes for crackers, tortillas and cookies. It can also substitute ricotta in pasta like dishes or crepes.

The strained milk makes a little over four cups of milk. Use this in smoothies, on granola or sweeten it and use it as milk. It looks exactly like cows milk.



For two smoothies use one cup macadamia milk, two bananas, 1/2 cup of frozen cranberries, 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries and two Tablespoons Raw Honey. You can find the recipe for one here. This is a filling drink so it will keep you going all afternoon.



I will be going out to see my oldest daughter's play tonight so I won't be posting any pictures of dinner tonight. It will be a large mixed lettuce salad with red bell peppers, cucumber and zucchini and a few squeezes of lime with salt and pepper.
