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 3

Raw Diet Day 3:

Today I weighed in at 154, a two pound loss. Not at all surprising since I haven't eaten much in the last few days. The morning started with nearly absent appetite but as the day went on I did eventually start feeling hungry.

For breakfast I had one banana.

For lunch I had two cups mixed lettuces with about 1/4 cup each of raw corn and green peas, and a bit of raw sauerkraut. A little bit afterward I had a glass of refrigerator yerba mate tea steeped with dried stevia leaves.

Around 4:00 I actually started getting hungry for the first time in many days. I had a mousse of raw cacao, coconut milk, coconut butter and soaked ground dates whipped until smooth--about a cups worth all told. That was yummy to be sure!

For dinner I had gado-gado again with a few different vegetables than yesterday. Tonight's gado-gado was composed of carrots, celery, red bell pepper, snow peas, purple cabbage, mung bean sprouts, cucumber, jicama, broccoli and cherry tomatoes on a bed of butter lettuce. It was enough for two large servings. The sauce from yesterday had lost some flavor so added fresh chili peppers, pureed. About a 1/2 teaspoon of that. It could of used more flavor still but it was good enough.



By this evening I do not feel any lingering of the head cold and my earache is non-existent although I do have constant ringing in my ear. That isn't a new thing for me, just hasn't been there for awhile. My left hand still doesn't hurt much and I still have energy even after a busy day. I am ready to do nothing for awhile so plan on watching a movie tonight. Everything else is pretty much the same.

Overall I would call today a very good day.
