Recipe and Menu Ideas

Here are some daily menus that comprise my “normal” food intake during the winter months.  I try to buy as much organic produce, wild-caught fish, grass-fed beef, and free-range chicken and eggs as I can afford.  Throughout the day I consume 1 liter of water for every 50 pounds of weight (that’s 8 cups per day for a 100-pound person).

Breakfast

Two-egg omelet with sauteed veggies, piece of sprouted-grain bread with butter or coconut oil plus a spoonful of almond butter, ginger tea

Leftover meat and veggies from last night’s dinner, piece of wheat bread (made from freshly-ground wheat) with butter or coconut oil plus a spoonful of almond butter,  ginger tea

Two eggs over easy, piece of sprouted-grain bread with guacamole, ginger tea

Morning snack

Apple, pear or orange, sometimes with about 12 raw almonds

Lunch

Chicken sandwich, carrot crinkles

Soup (homemade, of course) with a piece of wheat bread spread with guacamole

Salad loaded with veggies, walnuts, sprouts, and maybe some hard-boiled egg, topped with olive oil, salt, and pepper, or an apple-cider vinaigrette.  Sprouted-grain bread with butter.

Afternoon snack

Apple and almond butter for dipping

12 raw almonds or a handful of raw walnuts

Dinner

Fish, veggie sauté, salad with walnuts and hard-boiled egg

Beef pattie with caramelized onions and lettuce on sprouted-grain bun, carrot crinkles

Chicken thighs, quinoa with roasted veggies, sliced cucumber, carrot crinkles

Beef stew, piece of sprouted-grain bread, salad with lots of veggies

Apple Cider Vinegar Tea (read about it in my post on 4.11.2010)

Evening snack (only if needed)

12 raw almonds or a handful of walnuts

Apple with almond butter for dipping

Piece of sprouted-grain toast with guacamole
