If these recipes do not all float your boat, please check out the other recipes on Take Back the Kitchen and my recipes on my “leftovers site” at about.com where I contribute recipes, many of which are compliant or easily made compliant.
Breakfast ideas:
coffee or tea with milk or almond milk OR bullet proof coffee (coffee blended with a tbsp of coconut oil and a tbsp of unsalted butter until frothy-it’s actually delicious)
Monday: Brown Rice cakes with almond butter and a schmooshed date on top
Tuesday: Eggs: Always have hard boiled on hand or scramble up your eggs with your leftover vegetables, sauteed roasted red peppers, fresh herbs with avocado on the side and/or compliant salsa. Can serve with the brown rice cakes if you need a bread like substance. Can have compliant sausage like Aidell’s chicken apple sausage from Costco-YUM!
Wednesday: Oatmeal with fresh fruit, raisins and walnuts or pecans/almonds or any other nut
Thursday: Sage frittata or any kind of frittata (don’t use the ricotta!) with a side of greek yogurt mixed with compliant hot sauce
Friday: A big handful of nuts or Fruit and Nut Bars
Snacks:
Monday: handful of nuts, preferably raw almonds
Tuesday: bananas and clementimes
Wednesday: apple slices with almond butter
Thursday: Sun Dried Tomato Hummus or truffled bean dip with pre made carrot sticks or celery sticks
Friday: frozen and then toasted Chick Pea Flour Pancakes
Saturday and Sunday-NUTS or fruit and nut bars
Lunch and dinner:
Have prepared quinoa or brown rice every day and store in clear tupperware in your fridge.
Roast vegetables for the week such as kale, broccoli, beets, cabbage, brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes. Dice them all up small and lay the separated vegetables on a parchment paper lined baking sheet at 450 degrees until they are tender. Place vegetables that are similar in texture on the same sheet since they will take around the same amount of time to cook-like sweet potatoes and beets together, cabbage and fennel together, broccoli and brussels sprouts together. Have them stored in tupperware at eye level and use them all week for salads, stir frys, to put in compliant pastas, eggs, stews, rice dishes or by themselves.
Always have brown rice tortillas on hand (can get at Trader Joes).
Always have Aidells Apple Chicken Sausages on hand or other compliant sausage. I get them cheaper at Costco.
Always have hard boiled eggs on hand to eat alone or to make Mally and Bailie’s Famous Egg Salad
