Re: Request for recommendations - Juicer, grinder , yogurt maker, bread maker

[Guest guest]

I think that 8 weeks from now will probably be too soon to add

lentils. Those should be added about 6 months into the diet.

You don't need a lentil grinder because the lentils will all need to

be soaked and cooked.

The best website for meal planning is http://www.fitday.com . It

allows you to input foods eaten and calculate calories, etc. You can

move back and forth through the calendar so that you can plan more

than one day at a time.

As for your wife doing SCD with your child... that would depend on her

and the child. Many children balk at eating foods if everyone else is

not eating the same foods. Other kids don't care at all.

A yogurt maker will come in handy. A bread machine is a waste of

money on SCD because we do not make breads that rise.

The best thing to have would be a good quality food processor. Beyond

that: appropriate baking equipment, a mixer and a blender would

definitely be handy.

If you are looking for easy things to freeze our favorites are pre-

made meatballs and turkey balls (just plain meat made into a ball and

baked.) Then I freeze it and can thaw out what little we need. We

also like to cook turkey and briskit and package in meal size

portions to thaw when we need something quick. I have successfully

frozen the squash pie also. Its aslo nice to have some cooked

chicken ready for avacodo chicken (we make ours with just avacodos,

chicken and salt right now - its fast.) The cooked apples and pears

freeze well if you can keep from eating them all up before they make

it to the freezer. These things save us a lot of time.

Best to you.

I am going to add one item to the list. Other than my yogart maker

and food processor, I use my hand held blender

http://www.pleasanthillgrain.com/bamix.asp

I use my yogart maker a couple of times a week, my food processor

for grinding nuts and slicing veggies, my mixer if I make cookies(to

thick for other appliances) but I use my bamix almost daily, some

times several times a day.
