Another week gone by, another Thursday is upon us which means YOU get a look into MY lunchbox….or as we established last week, my ‘reused plastic bag’ :lol:. I’d like to think of this lunch as a perfect example of making the most of leftovers:
Enough small chat, here are the goods:
- A
rainbowMixed Salad
topped with…
- Mexican Bean Dip
Pinto chili by night, bean dip by day. Rather than heat up leftovers from the night before, I mixed it with Greek yogurt and BAM- a whole new meal. I swear it tasted WAY better than it looks….and made for an excellent salad topper:
- Melba toast for a crunch
- A Mini Toblerone to round things off
Gotta love multipacks of chocolate sold in Duty Free 😉

What was the best thing you ate for lunch this week?
GAH Mexican Bean Dip looks so good!!
I’ll try making something similiar…now that I’m forced to start cooking and everything 🙂
Hello from just across the water in Saudi! I love your meals, they all look incredible. But that bean dip, seriously, I need some in my life.
Wow, welcome to my blog- v cool to have a reader in Saudi :)! Will surely be putting up the recipe 🙂
Love this new sector of your blog – gives me such great ideas for my own packed lunches! You bean dip looks fab, please can you post the recipe. x
This weekend for shiz!
share the pinto chili/bean dip recipe. looks delish! my lunches are always so boring. a turkey sandwich on whole wheat pita w/ avocado, tofu cheese and jalepenos. and my snack is a 100 cal pack of popcorn.
That sandwich is a classic- can never go wrong! Will put up recipe fo shiz!
Hmmmm, I think chili cheese sweet potato fries!
I had a delicious brisket salad with peppers, corn salsa and a delicious vinagerette at Lucille’s BBQ on Tuesday and it was amazing!
That sounds delicious!
Oh yay I’m getting lots of good lunchbox ideas for when I go back to teaching in uni! Love your outlook – healthy living rocks! Best lunch – grilled egg,apple and strawberry jam wrap I think!
Thanks so much, and welcome! I love the sound of wrap but it’s begging for a lil cheese action ;)!
I LOVE bean dip + greek yogurt! perfect balance of coolness, spice, and creaminess. 😀
