Meal plan for the week 1/20

Here goes yet another week of meal planning. It's a short week, since Monday was MLK Day, and doesn't count in terms of the daily grind of work/food/work/food. This week we're experimenting with adding beans back into the diet, and I thought a hearty bowl of beef chili would be just the thing for the third week of January. Still no onions and no garlic - that looks like it might be a permanent rule around here.

Breakfast:

* Coffee with homemade peppermint mocha creamer
*Yogurt
*Chocolate zucchini banana bread

Lunch:
* Super salads (spinach, celery, carrots, tomatoes, cilantro, olives, green and red bell peppers) with hardboiled eggs and bacon, and croutons and pepitas

Dinner:
* Ground beef chili (+ kidney beans) Use to make:
 (a) tacos with cheese and avocado
(b) Chili stuffed peppers
(c) Beef chili scramble (chili + eggs)
(d) Baked sweet potatoes with chili
(e) Chili cheese sweet potato fries
