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 5

Raw Diet Day 5:

Late last night, around 9:30, I started craving something sweet so I had a 1/2 cup of dried persimmons, 2 dried figs and 1 glass of Good Earth caffeine free Sweet and Spicy refrigerator tea. It satisfied my sweet tooth and didn't crave anything sweet for the rest of the night.

For breakfast I wasn't hungry again but ate a banana anyway.
For lunch I was pretty hungry and wanting something a little more substantial than I'd wanted so far. I decided to have some nuts and to use leftovers from last night. I grated 1/4 of a sweet potato, 1/4 of jicama, 1 rose apple and julienned five large basil leaves, 10 mint leaves and 10 cilantro leaves and tossed it with a cup of mung bean sprouts and the remaining dipping sauce from last nights dinner.  It made about 6 cups of Thai Slaw, of which I had one cup. It was very tasty! With that I also had two cinnamon Un-Cookies, (they don't have that flavor listed on their website tho) that I picked up at the Co-Op. They are made of raw cashew, coconut meat, agave syrup, maple sugar, vanilla extract and cinnamon. A little later I had 1/2 cup of raw cashews, 3 raw almonds and 1/4 cup of banana chips and a glass of water.

I had this for dinner as well minus the banana chips and almonds.
