Menu Suggestions
Menu suggestions are interchangeable for any meal. Shelley Young’s recipe book, Back
to the House of Healthã, is a great source for new experiments in the kitchen. It is full
of energizing, delicious recipes for Alkalarians to enjoy.
BREAKFAST:
Hot Millet Salad is a satisfying, tasteful combination of hot and cold. For each serving, bring one cup
of water and ¼ cup of millet to a boil, then cover and simmer for 25 minutes. Remove from pot and
place in a soup bowl. Cut ½ a tomato and ½ an avocado over the top of the millet. Add Bragg’s
Aminos, Flax Seed Oil, sliced almonds, and spices as desired.
Vegetable Soup can be made with green beans, celery, zucchini, yellow squash, carrot, bell peppers,
leeks, onions, garlic, cabbage, etc. Simply heat vegetable broth or water, add chopped vegetables, flavor
with spices (oregano, basil, parsley), and simmer until vegetables are slightly cooked/soft. Add Bragg’s
Aminos or Real Salt for flavor. Garnish with flax seeds, almonds or sunflower seeds.
Buckwheat Cereal with almond milk is quick and filling on a cold morning. Buckwheat groats, cracked
buckwheat, and cream of buckwheat are available at most health food stores.
Steamed Broccoli is a very energizing choice for breakfast. Lightly steam broccoli for 5 minutes. Add
chopped onion, slivered almonds, or sunflower seeds on top. Top with lemon juice and olive oil, or
Bragg’s Aminos if desired.
LUNCH:
Salads are a wonderful choice for any meal. Spinach or dark, leafy lettuce is best for salads. Be sure to
add lots of delicious, alkaline vegetables like: avocado, tomato, sprouts, cabbage, jicama, green or
purple onions, cucumber, celery, bell peppers, etc. For taste and variety, try salsa, hummus, or the
following dressing.
Basic Salad Dressing can be made ahead of time in a cruet, and stored in the cupboard. Mix 1/3 cup
fresh lemon juice, 1 cup virgin olive oil, ½ tsp. oregano, ½ tsp. cumin, ½ tsp. garlic powder, ½ tsp.
cayenne or The Zip (by Spice Hunter), and 1 Tbsp. Bragg’s Aminos. This is great on wraps, salads,
steamed vegetables, or as a dip for plain tortillas.
Veggie Wraps make a quick meal that is filling. Alvarado Street Bakery has a nice wrap made of
sprouted wheat. Begin with pesto or hummus spread, add sliced avocado, tomato, cucumber, spinach,
sprouts, black beans, or any vegetable of choice. Top with Bragg’s Aminos, garlic powder, The Zip, salsa,
or other spices as desired.
Madrid Gezpacho Soup can be made in the blender. Mix 3 large tomatoes, 2 cucumbers, 1 red pepper,
and 1 small jalapeno pepper. Add 1 quart of water, 3 Tbsp. Olive Oil, juice of 2 lemons, 1 tsp. ground
Cumin, and 2 tsp. Real Salt. Add garlic to taste. Blend in portions until smooth. Chill in refrigerator until
ready to serve. Garnish with celery, green onion, and avocado.
DINNER:
Stir-fry can be completed in 20 minutes, start to finish. Boil one package of Buckwheat Soba Noodles
according to directions. While cooking, stir-fry 1 chopped red pepper, 1 chopped onion, 1 cup broccoli or
asparagus, and other vegetables desired. Add a little Bragg’s and vegetable broth for seasoning. Stir fry
5 minutes, then add drained noodles. Add some olive oil, sesame seeds, garlic powder, and Stir Fry
Ginger by Spice Hunter. Stir together and eat!
Salmon, Trout, Sole, or Halibut may be eaten sparingly. Garnish grilled fish with sliced lemon and
serve with a generous portion of fresh vegetables or salad. Basmati or wild rice might be served on the
side, topped with sliced almonds.
Beans and Rice make a classic combo. Soak and cook dried pinto, kidney, garbanzo, lentils, or black
beans, and drain. In a pan, season beans with ground cumin, chilli powder, Real Salt, and garlic. Pour in
vegetable broth until beans are covered. Season with fresh parsley, chopped onion, pepper, and grated
carrot. Simmer until onions are cooked. Remove, then place each serving in a bowl with a scoop of
basmati rice. Top with fresh, chopped tomatoes and serve with salad.
