Recipes for Winter Menu Plan

© Elson M. Haas M.D.
 (Excerpted from Staying Healthy with Nutrition, Celestial Arts)

The winter diet is often the richest, warmest, and heaviest of the seasonal diets. It includes more cooked foods, fewer fresh foods and cold drinks, and more teas and soups to keep the body warmer. And, of course, we may need more rest and dream time in the winter. The italicized food selections in the menu plans will have a specific recipe following the four-Day menus.

Fruit: Pear
Breakfast: Sweet potatoes; cream of wheat; or Cracked Wheat
with Raisins and Walnuts

Lunch: Cream of Broccoli Soup (optional); Roasted Turkey with
Mushroom Sauce, steamed greens, such as kale or chard
Snack: Mandarin orange
Dinner: Stir–Fried Vegetables with Tempeh or Tofu;

Day 2

Fruit: Orange
Breakfast: Oatmeal or seven-grain cereal with stewed fruit
Snack: Filberts or pistachios
Lunch: Curried Chicken Breast; coleslaw
