Time and budget determines this. This week, I show you how you can save money by repeating some of the foods through out the week. An example is the oatmeal breakfast. Create variation by adding different toppings like flax, chia, fresh fruit, or coconut yogurt.

B2B Tip: Start this week off by making a large batch of wild, brown or mixed rice to save time during the week. Green Bean & Mushroom Stir Fry 1 cup rice, cook according to pkg directions 2 tbsp coconut oil 4 tbsp olive oil

5 4 Cups frozen green beans (or fresh) 10 fresh mushrooms, sliced 2 clove garlic, minced 1/8 cup sliced almonds Heat coconut oil and olive oil in a nonstick skillet or wok over medium heat. Add beans and cook until they begin to soften. For frozen, this is a bit less time than fresh. Add mushrooms and garlic. Allow to cook for about ten minutes, stirring often. Just before removing from heat, add almonds. Serve warm over or next to brown rice. Serves about 4 Quinoa Pilaf 2 Tbsp. Coconut Oil 1 medium Yellow Onion, finely chopped 1/2 Red Bell Pepper, finely chopped 1 Garlic Clove, minced ¼ cup chopped Almonds 1 cup organic quinoa 1/8 tsp.

In a separate sauté pan, heat 2 Tbsp. coconut oil on medium high heat in a pan. Sauté the Onion, Bell Pepper, and Garlic, stirring occasionally until the onions are translucent, but not browned. Remove from heat and put into a large serving bowl. Stir in almonds, basil, chives, and cayenne. Salt and Pepper to taste. Serve Sautéed veggies over bed of quinoa. Roasted Salmon w/ Asparagus & Rice 4 salmon fillets, skin on one side 1 tbsp olive oil For sauce:

6 lemon juice warm olive oil 1 clove garlic, minced 3 sprigs rosemary, minced 1 2 cups cooked rice 1 bunch asparagus For Fish: Preheat oven to 450 F. In an oven proof skillet or pan, heat oils over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon,(lay the salmon fillet carefully in skillet) skin side up turning then placing them in the oven. You ll cook about 5 7 minutes roasting fish and sealing in moisture. Meanwhile, place all ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl and mix with a fork. Spoon sauce over fish before serving. For Asparagus: Rinse and trim ends from asparagus. Lay flat in a glass baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake next to fish for up to ten minutes. They should be ready at about the same time. To reheat rice, simply put 2 tbsp water in a sauce pan and add rice. Season as desired, or with lemon and pepper. Serve next to fish and asparagus. Veggie Tostada 1 package baked tostada shells 1 can organic refried beans with green chilies and cilantro 1 organic tomato ½ lb assorted olives, pits removed, thinly sliced 2 cups washed organic super greens salad mix 2 green onions, sliced into small coins 1 jalapeno, sliced into coins 1 ripe avocado Your favorite salsa Over medium heat, heat beans through until quite warm, stirring frequently. If they start to dry out, you might add 1 tsp coconut oil. Remove from heat. Allow everyone to dress their own tostada by setting out the cut options on the table. Spread beans in a thin layer on each tostada shell and top with desired ingredients.

7 Taco Salad 1 pkg mixed greens 1 lb grass fed ground beef taco seasoning Corn Chips 1 large tomato ¼ cup chives 1 Avocado, diced Your Favorite Salsa In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef, seasoning with taco seasoning according to pkg directions. You can find quality organic taco seasonings at any healthy foods store. On each plate layer: corn chips, lettuce, tomato, chives, beef, avocado, salsa Serve immediately. Serves 4 Pizza Night Gluten Free Pizza Crust ( I use bob s mill) Fresh Tomato Fresh Basil Olive Oil Minced Garlic leftover roasted veggies *optional dairy free cheese Bake Crust according to directions. Layer tomato, basil, spinach, olives, etc.; as you desire. Toast in oven until all toppings are warmed through and edges have turned lightly brown. I love using olive oil in place of tomato sauce, and we may do a dairy free cheese, but we haven t found one that melts very good.
