Day 1
Breakfast:  Frittata 
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….
     Find the recipe HERE
(omit the brown sugar)

Side Salad….
Pile your salad high with yummy vegetables. I love the dressings found in Meals Made Simple cookbook

** Save some chicken for lunch on Day **


Day 2
Breakfast…Banana Pancakes 
These are so yummy with a little honey 
    and extra cut up banana on top.

2 eggs
1 very ripe banana

Lunch…Cucumber Roll UP



Cucumber
Turkey

Cut the cucumber very thin lengthwise. I use a vegetable peeler. Then layer the turkey and cheese and roll it up.

       

Dinner... Sausage with Cabbage




Head of Cabbage
Applegate sausage (or ang sausage that is preservative and sugar free)
Garlic grapeseed oil

   I leave the butter and the tomatoes out of this recipe. I use the grape seed oil in place of the butter.

Day 3
Breakfast…Yogurt Smoothie

Yogurt (see below)
Berries (frozen works best)
Splash of orange juice (not from concentrate)

I throw all of this in the blender and enjoy!


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.


  Vitamin D milk
  yogurt starter
  plain gelatin

HERE is some good instructions on making yogurt.

Butter/ghee
Chicken (left over from Day 1)
Parmesan cheese
Spinach

I rub down my pork with all the ingredients and put it in a roasting pan. I cook it at 350 degrees until fully cooked.

Day 4
Breakfast…Sunny Side Up Egg with Bacon and Avocado


I love sunny side up eggs (farm fresh when available) with a 
   side of sugar free bacon. Sugar free bacon
   can be hard to find. I buy mine from Kroger.

  Romain Lettuce
  Tomatoes
  Organic mayo (optional) I use the Whole Foods 365 brand




 Dinner…Steak with Mushrooms and Roasted Broccoli

Fresh peanut butter
Hard boiled egg



Lunch…Left-over Pork from Day 3

I love to eat my left-over pork cold with some roasted peppers. To roast the peppers I cut them all up, coat them with garlic grape seed oil and salt. I put them on a baking sheet and broil them on the top rack. (watch them very closely)

Dinner…Baked Lemon Garlic Chicken with Brussel Sprouts


Whole chicken
Garlic
Lemons
Rosemary
Brussel sprouts
Grape seed oil

Chicken..
Find Recipe HERE

Brussel Sprouts…
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
  Bacon  
  Mushrooms
  Diced purple onion
  Aged cheddar

I sauté the mushrooms and onion until soft. I add the scrambled 
eggs (3 eggs) . Cook for about 3 min then add the cheese to the middle
and fold over. You can get really creative with omelets. Add any 
yummy things you have in the fridge.


Lunch…Tuna Salad on Lettuce
Canned Tuna
Mayo (I use Whole Foods 360 brand)
Celery
Egg

Pile it hight on a big bed of lettuce… sometimes I add purple grapes!


Dinner…Chicken Tacos



Raw chicken breast
Taco seasoning (I use recipe from *MMS)
Red pepper
Yellow pepper
Purple onion
Grape seed oil
Butter Lettuce
Avocado

-Save some peppers and chicken for Day 4 dinner-

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!
