Menu Plan Monday: Lunch Box Ideas, Chili, and a Coupon, Oh My!

Do you have a favorite chili recipe?  Do you like white chili with chicken or red chili with ground beef?  Or, maybe you prefer vegetarian chili? 

We love Bloemers chile base.  Ironically, we live near Cincinnati, where everyone loves either Skyline, Gold Star or Dixie chili.  Every time we go back to Louisville to visit family in the Fall, we buy lots of Bloemers chile base...both the hot and mild.  We use them separately or mix them half and half.  Lucky for us, my mom came up this weekend and brought us some tubs of the base!

Here's our menu for the week:

 

Chili (With Bloemers chile base, of course)

 

Sautéed Chicken Breast with Herbs and Vegetables

 

Turkey Kielbasa with Red Beans and Rice

 

Chicken Soft Tacos and Salad

 

Breakfast!  Pancakes, Eggs and Bacon

The kids have been in school for a month now and we've been great about packing lunches, thanks to our Easy Lunch Boxes.  I bought them right before school started and actually enjoy packing their lunches...well, I enjoy it as much as you can like packing lunch.  The kids love the variety.  Here's a sample of what I pack:

Jelly Sandwiches cut like mustaches, sliced apples/grapes, pepperoni and a granola bar.
 

The kids also love getting yogurt in their lunch, and I have a great coupon to share with you.  I posted the other day about Yoplait Fruitful Yogurt, that has 1/3 a cup of fruit in each serving.   Yoplait Fruitful comes in six flavors AND there are no artificial flavors or sweeteners. 

If you'd like to try Yoplait Fruitful, check out this coupon for .30 cents off!

It's great for a snack, breakfast or the kids' lunch boxes.

If you are still planning your dinner menu, make sure you check out Menu Plan Monday from the Organizing Junkie.  There are tons of other menu plans!

Happy menu planning!
