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 8

Raw Diet Day 8:

Although not very hungry this morning I had 2 Banana Nut Bread Inspired Cups and a glass of water for breakfast. They turned out to taste very much like traditional Banana Nut Bread with some texture difference, particularly in the center. The outsides tasted exactly like the traditional version. I think that if I had flattened out the scoops to make them into disks they would be a match for traditional Banana Nut Bread, so I will try doing that next time. As they are the centers are a bit doughy.

For lunch I blended together tomatoes, celery, spinach, garlic, sea salt and fresh ground pepper and then warmed it to 100 degrees. It tasted similar to V-8 juice so I added an avocado for creaminess. Pretty yummy!

For dinner we will be having the nut loaf with ketchup and a side salad.

Today makes the beginning of the second week on the raw diet. So far it feels really good and I have lost two pounds.
