free weekly menu organizer :)
Everyone getting ready for New Year's Eve? Get your booze and cheese and chocolate in tonight, because come Monday we're starting over :) I'm heading up to beautiful Burlington, Vermont to ring in the new year and then getting ready for some major Action Plan prep this weekend.
Because I love lists & charts, I made a no-frills weekly menu organizer to use throughout the 28-Day Challenge. You can get your copy right here: Unofficial 28-Day Challenge Weekly Meal Planner. Just download and print, then fill in your meal ideas and recipes! (I told you I was a nerd like this... I also make PDF charts for holiday gift ideas, so there. Geeks unite.)
I'm looking through the Action Plan recipes and flipping through some of my favorite cookbooks to come up with detox-friendly meals. With a little creativity and subsitution, you can probably turn many of your stand-by recipes into healthier, allergen-free meals-- the detox doesn't have to be a total torture-fest after all :) Some of my favorite cookbooks are:
- The Vegetable Dishes I Can't Live Without by Mollie Katzen
- Vegetarian and Vegetable Cooking by Christine Ingram's
- The Essential Vegetarian Cookbook
- Quinoa 365: The Everyday Superfood by Patricia Greene and Carolyn Hemming
- A Beautiful Bowl of Soup by Paulette Mitchell and William Meppem
- The Gourmet Vegetarian Slow Cooker by Lynn Alley
Have you found any detox-friendly meals in your own recipe stash? Or tasty classics that could be reconfigured to fit in with the detox? And I'm always on the lookout for new cookbooks and recipe sources, so share 'em if you got 'em.

Yea!!! And Christmas list PDF's are no geekier than the spreadsheets I made, color coded by "good idea", "possible", and "already bought it"!!! Love the chart, and Happy New Year from my corner of the world to yours!

This is great! Thanks for sharing, I'm super busy and love to make lists too. Having a hard time finding a way to come up with a day to day menu plan. I'm not sure where to start with day one. Have to schedule out some time to really plan it out before I shop this weekend. Thanks for the chart, it's a great start!

Love this! Thanks for sharing!
As for suggestions for cookbooks. Mark Bittman wrote a book called Food Matters, and recently came out with the Food Matters Cookbook. It puts an impetus on cooking with whole ingredients, with minimal meat, and increased proportions of fruits, veggies, beans and grains. It's a great book, and has detox-friendly recipes.

What an awesome chart, thanks for sharing--I was actually lamenting the fact there wasn't one included with the plan...
