Do you wander how you will plan and prepare meals for you and your family for 21 days? This was my dilemma last year. I have scoured the web, recipes and resources to come up with 21 days of menus.
Today, I will be sharing with you the first week of my menu for the Awakening Daniel Fast that I have developed. Please understand this is my version of the recipes and is a plan to be a guide. I in no way am an authority on nutrition or give medical advice. With each menu I share there is breakfast, lunch and dinner. I hope you find this helpful.

Tomorrow, I will start posting the recipes to these menus with detailed instructions.

Cooking rice can be sticky, and preparing brown rice usually takes an hour to cook. After I made a huge container of brown basmati rice during last years Daniel fast, I decided I would purchase a rice cooker. There are several things that make it nice.
