[FONT=Times New Roman]AM[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]2 large (or 4 small) leaves of romaine Lettuce[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]2 leaves of radicchio[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]4 sprigs of cilantro[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]1 cherry tomato[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]1 small floret of broccoli[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]1 slice bell pepper (1/8 pepper) Yellow, green, or red[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]PM[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]2 large (or 4 small) leaves of red leaf lettuce[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]2 large (or 4 small) leaves of romaine Lettuce[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]4 sprigs of cilantro[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]1 baby carrot[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]1 (½ in.) slice cucumbers[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]1 slice bell pepper (1/8 pepper) Yellow, green, or red[/FONT]


I would serve that menu plan for about 3-4 days and then I would switch the cucumber for zucchini, the broccoli for parsley, and maybe switch one of the red lettuces for curly endive. Then I would serve that meal for 3-4 days and make a few more changes.

Is it okay to feed the same 8 or 9 veggies each day for 3-4 days (to use up the veggies and cut down on waste) before rotating in new veggies?


It doesn't really change very much. All I do is have have the red leaf lettuce in the morning, and the green leaf lettuce at night, and all the other lettuces regularly, and switch around some of the other veggies, like carrots, or cherry tomatoes, or zucchini, or cucumber, and I have basil once on Sunday, and asparagus once a month. I carefully looked at Ly's chart to decide what to put on what days.


Umm...Ly I don't quite get what you said about the baby carrots, and cherry tomatoes?
