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 31

Raw Diet Day 31:

I slept well until 5:30 when the wild turkey in the neighborhood started gobbling and my dog responded vociferously each time. :) Got back to sleep around 6 and slept until 7. I went out to the garden and removed the frost blankets and saw that the radishes and herbs were beginning to come up.

The rain was gone and in its place was a warm, sunny day. I used the energy to finally get all of the seeds started in peat pellets and peat pots. I filled half of each pot with planting soil and the top half with seed starting soil. Thirty-eight pots of seeds and 8 peat pellets. I now have all of peppers, tomatoes, melons, squash and corn started. They will be ready to plant outside on May 8th.

For breakfast I had one green apple and 2 Tablespoons of almond butter.

For lunch I had a smoothie composed of 1 banana, 1/2 cup of coconut milk and 1 cup of apple juice.

For dinner I had a salad of three cups of mixed lettuces, 1 medium tomato, 1 avocado, two kalamata olives, 1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds, 1 Tablespoon of olive oil and sea salt and fresh ground black pepper. Very yummy.
