Chili Lunch

This Week's Photo



Menu

* Vegetable Chili
* Flax Seed Tortilla Chips
* Low-fat Sour Cream
* Roasted Beets
* Banana
* Tangerine Cutie


Preparation Notes

The weather may be getting warmer, but chili and roasted beets still provide plenty of comfort at this time of year. And fresh fruit is always a treat!

Prepare the chili for dinner and save the leftovers for lunch. In fact, consider making a large pot on the weekend to enjoy throughout the week. (It's more nutritious and economical than relying on take-out.)

Roast some beets and cut into manageable pieces.

Add a handful of flax Seed tortilla chips..

Scoop some low-fat sour cream into the small dip container.

Cut a banana in half.

Add a tangerine cutie.

Neat Loaf



Menu

* Bok Choy and Mushroom Stir-Fry
* Whole Grain English Muffin
* Neat Loaf (Try this amazing nut roast recipe.)
* Dijon Mustard
* Steamed Beets

Preparation Notes

This vegetarian "neat loaf" is amazingly flavorful and rich. It takes time to prepare but will keep well for several days in the refrigerator. Pack it as a stand-alone item one day of the week and with sandwich fixings another. (English muffin, mustard, and fresh cilantro are pictured in the photo here, but sprouts, sliced tomato, cheese, ketchup, sliced red onion, lettuce, and spinach are among the many other possibilities.)

Prepare the bok choy and mushroom stir-fry for dinner and save some for lunch.

Steam the beets.

Spoon some mustard into the dip container.

Slice the English muffin.

At lunchtime make a sandwich and enjoy the stir-fry and beets on the side.
