DAY 10 (TUESDAY)
BREAKFAST
CAULIFLOWER HASH WITH FRIED EGGS
Makes 1 serving
For this recipe, you’re using the remainder of the Big Batch Roasted Cauliflower leftover from Sunday’s dinner.
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 medium yellow onion, cut into ¼inch cubes
1 clove garlic, minced
½ head Big Batch Roasted Cauliflower, chopped into bitesized pieces (leftover from Sunday’s
dinner)
½ teaspoon paprika
Hot sauce, to taste
1 teaspoon chopped parsley
2 large eggs for women; 3 large eggs for men
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground pepper
Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant. Add cauliflower, paprika, hot sauce, and parsley, toss together, and cook just until the cauliflower is heated through. Transfer the cauliflower hash to a plate, and wipe out the skillet.
Heat the remaining teaspoon of olive oil in the nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, crack both eggs into the pan, season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, then turn the heat down to low. Cook the eggs until the whites are completely opaque and the edges are starting to brown but the yolk is still runny, 23 minutes. Serve fried eggs on top of the hash.

PREP
Make HARD BOILED EGGS: Women cook 2 eggs; men cook 4 eggs.
Fill a medium saucepan with a lid with at least 5 inches of water, and bring to a boil. When water is boiling, add eggs one at a time, dropping them in carefully with a spoon so as not to crack the shells. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 13 minutes.
Meanwhile, set up a medium mixing bowl with 1 ½ cups cold water and 1 ½ cups ice. When eggs are done, use a spoon to transfer them, one at a time, into the ice water bath. Cool 3 minutes, then peel the eggs and refrigerate in an airtight container.
Peel the remaining ¼ avocado and freeze it in the ziploc bag with the frozen banana for tomorrow’s snack, a pudding.
If you need to pack tomorrow’s lunch togo, you can prepare it as soon as your hardboiled eggs are ready tonight, or in the morning.
Assemble the NoMayo Tuna Salad and store in a small airtight container in the fridge. Store the romaine leaves in a separate container in the fridge.
