There is a great recipe for a delicious frittata in the Against All Grain cookbook. I love to make mine with mushrooms, onion and bacon.
Eggs
Mushrooms
Onion
Bacon
Tomato (any other yummy ingredients)
Lunch: Turkey Roll UP with Avocado
This is a great quick lunch. When I have to pack
a lunch this is the perfect food.
Turkey (applegate herb roasted turkey from
Whole Foods. Make sure that the turkey
you buy is sugar and preservative free)
Swiss cheese (I only eat aged cheeses. If you are Whole
30 or strict Paleo, you may want to skip the cheese)
Avocado
I roll the avocado and turkey up in the cheese with a little
salt and pepper. I like to eat this with a healthy amount of fruit
on the side.
Dinner: Grilled Chicken with Carrots and Side Salad
I love to use the grill as much as possible it the summer. Some of my favorite seasonings for grilled chicken are, lemon pepper, rosemary, or just even Rancher Steak Rub (Wildtree)
Chicken breast
Seasoning
oil (garlic grape seed is my favorite)
Carrots….

Day 3
Breakfast…Yogurt Smoothie
Yogurt (see below)
Berries (frozen works best)
Splash of orange juice (not from concentrate)

The only kind of yogurt that I recommend eating is yogurt
that you have made yourself. Click HERE to see my favorite yogurt maker.
You will want to ferment your yogurt for 24 hours to ferment
the majority of the lactose out. You will thank me for the most
amazing yogurt ever! As a bonus, you will save big bucks making it yourself.

yogurt starter
plain gelatin
HERE is some good instructions on making yogurt.

I half all of the sprouts and coat them with garlic grape seed oil and cook them on the stove top until a little browned. I love to cook these in a cast iron skillet. Then put them in the oven that was preheated to 400 degrees. roast them until soft. I stir them occasionally to make sure they cook evenly.
Day 6
Breakfast…Omelet

Mushrooms
Diced purple onion

I sauté the mushrooms and onion until soft. I add the scrambled

yummy things you have in the fridge.

Chicken and Peppers:
Cut chicken, peppers and onion into strips. Toss in a bowl
with oil and taco seasoning. Put the mixture onto a foil
lined pan and broil it for about 10 min. Keep a very close
eye on it. It will burn quickly. Take out of oven and wrap all
the deliciousness in a leaf of butter lettuce.
I serve these with a simple guacamole!
