CYCLE 2 | EGG CHALLENGE MEAL PLAN, SHOPPING LIST & RECIPES

THIS TEST WILL BE “OVER EASY”...

ALL RECIPES AND SHOPPING LIST AMOUNTS ARE ENOUGH TO SERVE ONE PERSON FOR THE WEEK.

It’s time to test eggs! But remember, you are what you eat ate. That’s why the quality

of the eggs you eat this week matters in a big way.

We’ve already talked about the downsides of soy and corn. Well, guess what happens

to the eggs when the chickens that laid them are fed a diet of GMO corn and soy?

I’ve actually had clients in the past who found out their “egg” sensitivity was actually

due entirely to a hidden soy sensitivity. The culprit? The soy feed given to the chickens

producing those eggs!

In short, test with GOOD eggs. That means seeking out organic, free-range, pastured

eggs. Aside from resulting in less exposure to pollutants, you’re also going to get eggs

with a natural, healthier ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids.

Don’t risk that the eggs made from chickens fed corn and soy might fire up reactions

to those pesky foods. You’re absolutely worth the extra $2 per dozen you’ll spend

getting higher quality pasture-raised, organic eggs!

BBQ Glazed Chicken (chopped), the Jicama, Apple Pear Slaw, and the Cauliflower Puree.

SATURDAY

LENTIL BACON SOUPMAKES 4 SERVINGS

• 6 slices nitrate-free bacon, chopped

• 1 medium onion, finely chopped

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 3 celery stalks, finely chopped

• 1 carrot, finely chopped

• 1 tsp dried oregano

• 1 dried bay leaf

• 1 cup organic brown lentils, picked over

and soaked*

• 4 cups organic low-sodium chicken

broth or stock

• 3 Tbsp tomato paste

• 1/2 tsp sea salt

• 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper

Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat (or indirect

heat over a campfire) and add the bacon; cook,

stirring occasionally, until crisp, 7-8 minutes.

Use a slotted spoon or tongs to transfer the

bacon to a plate lined with a paper towel to

drain. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of bacon

fat from the pan and return it to the heat.

Stir in the onion, garlic, celery, carrot, oregano,

and bay leaf; cook, stirring occasionally, until

the vegetables are very tender, 14-15 minutes.

Add the lentil, broth or stock, and tomato paste,

and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce the heat

to medium-low, cover the pan, and simmer until

the lentils are tender, 28-30 minutes.

Remove the bay leaf and stir in the bacon, salt,

and pepper. Serve and enjoy!

*”Picking over” your lentils means sorting through them to remove any small stones or other debris that may be mixed in during harvest. By soaking your lentils before cooking, you make them easier to digest and maximize their nutrition. To soak, simply place lentils in a glass mason jar and cover with water. Add 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and soak 4-12 hours, covered. Rinse, then proceed as directed in recipe above.
