Last day of Prep

You're almost there! Phase 1 begins tomorrow. We know that prepping has been a lot of work but you'll be really glad you did it come tomorrow. There are a few more suggestions for today to get the majority of the prep work for the recipes completed.

• Precook a lot of rice. Rice is the only allowable grain so it's used in a number of recipes. We suggest cooking 3 cups of long grain brown rice,1 cup of wild rice and 1 cup of short grain brown rice. Store them in the refrigerator.
• Cook the soup ahead of time. Soup with the new biscotti recipe makes a great lunch, especially at work. We suggest making the soup today and divvying them up in containers so that your lunches are prepared today – for the rest of the week.
• Make a side dish or two. The side dishes can be eaten with lunch or dinner or even a snack. So if you have time today make a few ahead of time so this week they will be in the fridge waiting for you when you get home from work.

If you have any recipe specific questions this week please comment in the comments section under the recipe (assuming it's one of the recipes online) in case anyone else has that same question. If you have a question about something else and you're on facebook you can ask us there. You can also send us an email and we'd be happy to get back to you.

You can do this. Enjoy the recipes and remember, it's just a week!
