made chili for today and tomorrow's lunch.
yum. lots of veggies. I like it better now with dry beans instead of canned beans.

   Homemade chili is good, try to use quality meat instead of ground beef.

   I use bison stew meat and it is very good.
   Dried bean cooked in 15 minutes in pressure cooker, and it is much more
   nutritional, not to mention cheaper

bison stew meat sounds like a great idea. I have used ground beef most of the time but I think better quality ground beef makes better chili. (kinda obvious )
Going to a butcher this Sat, so I will see if he has any bison.
I don't have a pressure cooker so I just need to soak the beans overnight (or for a few hours) and cook them for a bit over an hour before head. Not so bad. Cos as long as I am home to monitor, I can leave them alone in the pot.

Bison is lean and flavourful, not gamy.
You can make a larger batch of chili and
freeze them in 4-5 portions.
I cook a large batch for my son and he
takes it to school for lunch.

Is there any suggestions of minced pork?

yes! the cycle starts when the fridge is empty, i go to buy a lot, then i feel tired with the old stuff, want to clear them, then i fried rice, make more space for the fridge, and go to buy new stuff again~

I usually just buy enough for one week supply...

As for lunch...I still bring left over dinner from last night but then I now started to cook fresh veggie in the morning. Heard that it's not healthy to have overnight veggie...
