40 Day Menu


All of these dishes should be made with ingredients that are free from any animal, dairy, or egg product. Stay away from processed foods with artificial ingredients, preservatives, hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, and, unless they are tomatoes, stay away from canned foods. The less that is used in the product, the more wholesome it is and the better off you are nutritionally. The ingredients for the dishes below can be found at your local natural/organic food store.

Flatbread
Mix flour and salt together well. Add oil. Gradually stir in water until you are able to knead the dough. Knead the dough for about 3 minutes. Break off the dough in pieces.
