Better than the School (or Work) Cafeteria!

Whether
you have a child who carries a lunch to school or you and or your husband work
out of the house, September is a good time to update what you eat for lunch. Bringing
lunch from home is good for you in so many ways. It will save money, keep you
healthy and get or keep you trim.
Resist
the urge to buy convenience-packaged foods or individual serving sizes. Packaging
adds to your cost. Buy bulk and make your own "snack packs."
Good
snack choices include almonds, walnuts, dried fruit, carrot sticks you peel and
cut yourself, whole wheat crackers, celery with low-fat peanut butter, and
fresh fruit.
If you buy a wide mouth thermos you can bring hot or
cold foods for lunch.
Fruit Salad
1 C fruit cocktail, drained
1 C chunk pineapple, drained
1 C mandarin oranges, drained
1 C sour cream
1 C rainbow miniature marshmallows
- Preparation & Instructions -
Taco Soup
2 slices of bacon
1 (6 oz) can sliced mushrooms, drained
1 small onion, chopped
1 small red pepper, chopped
4 C chicken broth
2 C chicken breast, cooked and chopped
2 C taco salsa
1 tbsp taco seasoning
- Preparation & Instructions -
Tuna Salad
1 (8 oz) box large spiral pasta
1 (15 oz) can four bean mix, drained (use your favorites)
6 cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/4 C sweet pickles, chopped
1 (7.5 oz) can tuna in water, drained and flaked
1/4 C mayonnaise
2 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp parsley, chopped fine
