Wow Chow Cooking

We got a free quart of coconut oil from Tropical Traditions (see my review at Freaky Frugalite) and the stuff is pretty good! In the review, I mentioned that we’ve used the oil predominantly for cookies. Well, my daughter recently used the oil to grease the skillet for making scrambled eggs. Talk about creative, huh? [...]

My mind did a few freaky little somersaults after reading this headline today: Nationwide study finds U.S. meat and poultry is widely contaminated. :-O The Translational Genomics Research Institute in Arizona performed tests on meat and poultry in several grocery stores throughout the country, and discovered that half of all meat tested were tainted with [...]

Wow, my daughter passed this video along to me. What do you think?! It’s a commercial for a DVD set showing you how to harvest and use the herbs and weeds that grow everywhere… but the information is pretty neat. When I was a girl, my parents went “redneck,” and we ate squirrels and some [...]

Weeelll….. I haven’t been drinking it regularly. Honestly, the stuff is disgusting. I’ve tried mixing it with grape juice, orange juice, strawberry Quik, chocolate milk, and Ovaltine. One of my readers suggested I dump it in a strawberry smoothie– which I haven’t done yet and intend to do as soon as I can get my [...]

I hope this is not too boring for you. It’s not like I’m blogging about fabulous games on the xbox or reviewing spectacular films or books… raw meal drink is rather… well, boring, I guess. But I WANT to drink this stuff; I WANT to be healthier. So far, I’ve tried mixing the raw meal [...]

I’ve been experimenting with the Raw Meal drink I got a few weeks ago. You can read more about it here. It’s not pleasant stuff. It tastes like latex paint and it’s like drinking powder, the stuff is so thick. But it’s very good for you. So I’ve been searching for ways to make it [...]

Oh dear. We’ve got snow. TONS of snow as of today. And all I want to do is cuddle up in my bed with a heated blanket, and eat beef stew and drink hot tea and coffee!!! Winter is a lousy season for going on a raw food diet. Not that I am on a [...]

It’s back again! This week’s question is very challenging. Tell me four things that you like cold or uncooked almost as much as you like cooked. Uhhhhh…. When I was younger, I was very fussy about my food. I liked good food (such as vegetables), but I couldn’t eat cold leftover cooked veggies, yuk! Boy, [...]

YUK. I’d mentioned that I was going to get some Garden of Life Raw Meal drink mix, to improve my poor health. The stuff came in the mail and I had my first real big glass of it today. *gag* Wow, this stuff is mean. MEAN. The powder is the consistency of light chalk. You [...]

I saw a friend of mine drinking this weird-looking green-drink recently. She said it was “Raw Meal” from Garden of Life. I tasted it and —ICK— it tasted like grass pulp. But the stuff is terribly, terribly nutritious. So I ordered some. I’m waiting for it to come in the mail, and I’ll be giving [...]
