Since yesterday was the kick off for the NFL season, I found it very fitting to use the occasion to make my first batch of chili for the season. It was pretty good, if I say so myself! One of the reasons I like fall is the food – from the new assortment of fall fruits and vegetables to the soups, chilis and casseroles – all comforting on cool days.

We have a pretty busy week so it is essential that I have my menu worked out in advance this week. Here it is:

• Monday -Crazy sports schedule night – healthy fast food
• Tuesday -Leftover chili and fresh cornbread muffins
• Wednesday – Orange Chicken rice bowl
• Thursday – English muffin pizzas, veggies & dip
• Friday – Tacos using corn shells only – my niece and nephew will be visiting and dinner will need to be gluten-free

What’s on your menu this week? If you need ideas, feel free to check out my Menu Plan Monday archives or head over to Laura’s at Organizing Junkie for links to hundreds of menus this week.
