Meal Planning

To get us through the weekend. I think the only things I need to buy are a green bell pepper and a head of green cabbage.


Vegan Irish Sausages and Colcannon (The No Meat Athlete Cookbook, pg. 164)


Chilli-Garlic Noodles


Taste of Lemont

No cooking necessary Saturday night.


Bubble and Squeak

Sunday night, to use up any leftover colcannon, potatoes, and cabbage, and the eggs in the fridge.

Meal Planning

Vegan Fried Chicken with Ranch and Lemony Lima Bean Summer Salad and Cucumber Salad with Dill and Deviled Eggs 


Taco Bell-Style Quesadillas and Black Beans


Pita Pizzas 

Because there is an open jar of sun-dried tomato pesto in the fridge.


Vegan Beef with Broccoli and Brown Rice

Because I have soy curls in the pantry and broccoli florets in the freezer to use up. Plus it's a good source of protein, vegetation, and fiber.


Vegan BBQ Ribs and Lemony Lima Bean Summer Salad and Cucumber Salad

Because my new bag of vital wheat gluten finally arrived in the mail, and I've got a bottle of barbecue sauce open in the fridge to use up. The ribs and the bean salad are both good sources of protein. And I've got another box of Rancho Gordo beans arriving soon.


Grilled Cheese and Soup

Because I want to buy a loaf of fresh bread and eat it. Tomorrow.


Veggie Summer Rolls

Because my basil plant is filling out nicely, and I've got rice paper wrappers in the pantry to use up.


Vegan Garlicky Korean Mac and Cheese 

Because I've got roasted garlic in the fridge to use up, plus broccoli in the freezer and noodles in the pantry.


Buffalo Tofu Salad

Because I love and miss this meal, and there is homemade ranch in the fridge right now. Plus it's a good source of protein.

Shakshuka


Vegan Fried Chicken with Ranch and Lemony Lima Bean Summer Salad and Broccoli


Mediterranean Bowl


Vegan Irish Sausages and Colcannon (The No Meat Athlete Cookbook, pg. 164)


Chilli-Garlic Noodles


Burgers


Crispy Air Fried Black-Eyed Peas

For a snack. Because I have way too many black-eyed peas in the pantry, and this would be a good dose of both fiber and protein.
