Weekly Menu

What do you do when your coworker leaves unwanted beets from her Door to Door Organics box on the counter at work for anyone to take home? Add them to some chili :) I had heard about some paleo person making chili with beets or pumpkin when allergic to tomatoes, so I figured it couldn't hurt to add some cooked mashed beets to my go-to tomato-based chili recipe. Worked fine!

I am going for an economically thrifty menu this week. I'll let you know if I come in significantly under budget. Wish me luck.

eggs, kale

banana muffins

coffee, creamer

Lunches:
