Menu Plan: Cleansing
After a long weekend I really need a menu plan to get me back into the swing of things. I am also embarking on an herbal candida cleanse, which I will tell you more about later. But during this cleanse our family is following the body ecology with a few modifications. That means no gluten, sugar, fruit, or non-fermented dairy. It also means lots of veggies (especially fermented) and proteins and a bit of food combining rules.
That 30 pound turkey I cooked up last week is going to last us for weeks. I cut it up before cooking and put 2/3 of it in the freezer. I also made 2 gallons of turkey stock out of the main portion of the carcass, which will make meal creations that much easier.
Other than that, it is business as usual…
Monday
- breakfast: soaked millet & quinoa porridge + butter, stevia, cinnamon, vanilla
- dinner: Turkey soup with turnips and greens
- prep: soak almonds & pumpkin seeds, thaw beef, cook turkey breast
Tuesday
- breakfast: scrambled eggs with spinach and turkey, yogurt with vanilla and stevia
- dinner: Beef Burgers with Ground Heart (shhh ;)), steamed green beans & carrots, cortido
- prep: dehydrate almonds and pumpkin seeds, soak millet & quinoa in morning, start them in slow cooker with squash before bed
Wednesday
- breakfast: millet & quinoa stuffed acorn squash in the slow cooker
- dinner: Turkey Chili with greens in the slow cooker (no beans), cortido
- prep: pick up milk & eggs from farm, thaw salmon
Thursday

I’m interested in “the rest of the story”. do tell.
Great post, thank you very much! : )
Speaking of turkey stock, we had two locally raised, pasture fed birds for T-day. I pulled out my monster sized stock pot and threw in the carcases with the usual additions. I ended up with twelve quarts of very rich turkey stock! Nothing says Love like a bunch of turkey stock ; ).
Hmmm…I saw that (sshhhhh). 🙂
