PASTA If you ve used my previous meal plans you ll most likely have quite a few of the ingredients on hand listed in this document. This meal plan is one that does require cooking, however if you pre-cook and prepare some of the meals ahead of time there will obviously be less to do each day. Note: I have changed this plan to reflect the meals for one person. Some recipes make more than one serving but you will be having it more than once during the week. If you have additional family members or friends also doing the plan then double the recipes to include their meals. MEAT 1 FLANK STEAK WEEKLY MEAL PREP GUIDE Recipes or parts of recipes to pre-make: Pumpkin Spice Muffins, Quinoa Fruit Salad, the Farro Mix from the Kale & Farr Salad, Chia Seed Pudding, Fruit Dip and the pasta. All other dishes are best made fresh. You know what your week holds better than I do so pick the times you want to pre-plan each meal so you re not overwhelmed during the week.

Mars CLEAN EATING COOKBOOK WEEK FIVE

BREAKFAST SEARED FLANK STEAK & EGGS YIELDS: 1 SERVING 3 Large Eggs 1/2 tablespoon Butter, plus 1 teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon Coconut Oil 4 ounces Flank Steak 1 teaspoon Worchestershire Sauce Salt & Pepper, seasoning Heat butter and coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Generously season flank steak with salt and pepper and place in skillet. Pour worchestershire sauce over meat. Cook meat until it reaches 140 degrees, about 10 minutes per side. Scramble eggs in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and add in 1 teaspoon butter. Once butter has melted pour eggs into skillet. Use a spatula to move eggs around the pan until fully cooked but not too dry. Slice steak and place on plate next to eggs. GLUTEN FREE PUMPKIN SPICE MUFFINS YIELDS: 12 SERVINGS 1 15-oz can Pumpkin Puree 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk 3/4 cup Maple Syrup (plus 2 extra tablespoons for brushing) 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract 2 cups Gluten Free Flour 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum 2 teaspoons Baking Powder 2 teaspoons Baking Soda 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon Ground Ginger 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves 1/2 teaspoon Salt Pre-heat oven to 395 degrees. Whisk the pumpkin, olive oil, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet and mix well. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and evenly distribute the batter among the cups. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean, brushing the tops with the additional maple syrup during the last 5 minutes of baking. Let muffins cool prior to serving.

BREAKFAST HUEVOS RANCHEROS YIELDS: 1 SERVING 1/2 medium Tomato, diced 1/2 medium White Onion, diced 1 Garlic Clove, minced 1/2 teaspoon Cilantro 1/2 Lime, juice 1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2 Corn Tortillas 1/8 cup Cheddar Cheese, shreadded 2 large Eggs 1/4 cup Black Beans Salt & Pepper for seasoning Disclaimer: This dish is messy and never looks pretty but that s the fun of it all. Start by making your salsa fresca. Combine the diced tomato, onion, garlic clove, and cilantro. Then sprinkle with a little fresh lime juice. Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add in one corn tortilla and flip once it has browned. Sprinkle the browned side with half of the cheddar cheese. Next crack one egg on top of the cheese. Don t worry if it runs everywhere! Season with salt and pepper. When the white is about halfway set, flip the tortilla over and cook for a few more minutes. Repeat this step with the other tortilla. In a small sauce pan heat the black beans on medium-heat. Then layer your tortillas with the beans, salsa fresca and some additional cheddar cheese if you like. You can also add in some leftover radishes and avocado, but be sure to count the extra calories. NOTES: I suggest using the leftover beans from the black bean taco recipe. They will already be flavored and you ll just need to heat them prior to arranging you plate.

Add onion, leek, and a pinch of salt and saute until softened, about 7-10 minutes. Add water and increase heat to high.

Let simmer gently for 15 minutes, then add other remaining cauliflower chunks and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until cauliflower is crumbly and tender. Meanwhile, melt the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter in a pan. When butter is melted and frothy, add the reserved florets. Cook over medium heat until the florets and the butter are both browned, stirring occasionally, about 12 to 14 minutes minutes. Transfer the florets with a slotted spoon to a small bowl; toss with vinegar and coarse sea salt. Pour browned butter into a small bowl and set aside. Ladle soup into blender and puree until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Return soup to the saucepan over medium-low heat until heated through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
