Daniel Fast Dinner Recipes and Meals

The majority of these dinner recipes make 4-6 servings

Monday

• Spaghetti Squash topped with tomato sauce

• Side Salad*

Tuesday

• Crockpot Quinoa Chili Recipe from Divas Run For Bling. I omitted the sugar from the recipe and found that all the liquid was absorbed during cooking, so you might try adding a little more if you like a soupier chili.

• Side Salad

Wednesday

• Vegetable Stir Fry over Brown Rice

  • Chop and saute fresh veggies or

  • Use a frozen stir fry vegetable blend

  • Top with some sesame oil, sesame seeds, and nuts such as cashews or sliced almonds

Saturday

Sunday

*Note: This meal plan contains a LOT of salad. You don’t need to eat a side salad every night, but it’s optional if you’re hungry for something besides the entrée.You could also include a side of steamed, sautéed or this Easy Roasted Vegetable Recipe.If you get bored with salad quickly, try to be intentional about mixing up the veggies and toppings from day to day.
