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).

Raw Diet Day 1

Raw Diet Day 1:

For breakfast I had a banana. For lunch I'll have a green smoothie. For dinner I'll have another green smoothie, a mixed salad and some sun tea.

Ingredients

Breakfast

    * 1 banana

Lunch

    * 1 banana
    * 1 apple
    * 4 leaves dinosaur kale
    * 1 cup winter purslane

Dinner

    * 1 cup winter purslane
    * 4 leaves dinosaur kale
    * 1 apple
    * 1 banana
    * 3 cups chopped lettuce
    * 1/4 cup radish sprouts
    * 1/4 cup red cabbage
    * 1/4 cup alfalfa sprout
    * 1/4 large lemon
    * 1/4 red bell pepper
    * 1/4 yellow bell pepper
    * 1/4 orange bell pepper
    * 1 roma tomato
    * 1 avocado
    * 1 dash sea salt
    * ground pepper
    * 1 decaf black tea bag, red raspberry flavored
    * stevia

Directions

   1.Wash produce and cut into bite sized pieces as needed.

   2.Breakfast. One banana.

   3.Lunch. Blend green smoothie starting with the winter purslane (miner's lettuce), then add the kale, then the apple and then the banana. That way the juicier produce chops up first making it easier on your blender.

   4.Dinner. Before preparing the dinner salad, pull out the smoothie and place on the counter so that it will lose its chill. Chop and mix the salad with the lemon juice. Add toppings.

   5.Strain tea and serve.
