I live in the Midwest so don't know where to buy things like salsa, or frozen cheese piazzas, lasagna, etc. without these spices. I am getting very discouraged because I really want to advance on my path to being a good devotee. Any advice. We do not have a Krsna Conscious temple where I live. Are there any web sites where you can order these types of foods?
Thanks.
Prepared foods should not be offered. You will want to purchase fresh ingredients and cook from scratch, always after having bathed. Consider keeping some pictures of Sri Krishna in the kitchen and/or playing devotional music while cooking for Him, to enhance remembrance of Him. Offering onions, garlic or mushroom is an absolute no-no. I also suggest keeping your cooking utensils and eating utensils separate.
