Menu Plan: Soup, Turkey, and No Grains

2 Comments

This weekend I came across a "splendid soups" magazine. When I first picked it up I wondered if I would find many useful recipes. Hours later I had bookmarked nearly half of them. Now I am hungry for nothing but soup, so this week it is on the menu four out of six days.

I also am roasting up the last of the 30 pound turkey – two wings and a leg. That will provide meat for a few meals as well as turkey stock for all of our soups.

After giving the Body Ecology Diet a try last week I realized how poorly I do with so many grains, even if they are gluten-free and high in protein. So this week I continue my candida cleanse with no grains, no sugar, and almost no dairy. The mornings that the boys eat porridge I will most likely be trying some miso soup with greens or some leftover protein and vegetables.

Sunday

  • breakfast: leftover millet-quinoa porridge fried in lard, crispy almonds, butter
  • dinner: Roasted turkey with sage, roasted kabocha & butternut squash, salad, sauerkraut
  • prep: email buying club order, grocery shop, start turkey stock in crock pot before bed, soak millet & quinoa

Monday

  • breakfast: soaked millet-quinoa porridge + chia seeds + crispy almonds + butter, leftover squash
  • dinner: Grass-fed beef roasted in crock pot Chipotle style, sprouted corn tortillas, avocado, homemade pico de gallo, cortido
  • prep: start roast in morning, make pico de gallo

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

  • breakfast: smoothies: yogurt + blueberries + coconut oil + eggs + stevia

  1. I’ve found that I feel the best with no grains or sugar, too.
    I just finished a month of the HCG protocol (weight-loss/endocrine balancing) where all you are allowed to eat is meat, fish, non-starchy veggies and a little low glycemic fruit. I felt so good and I learned to love meat and veggies for breakfast! I also figured out that it’s the grains and sugars that cause my skin to break out.

  2. Okay, you got me at “roasted kabocha & butternut squash.” How does one “roast” kombucha? I am brewing and making my own kombucha tea. Are you soaking the squash in it and roasting the squash? Please explain!
