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.

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.

Meal Planning

Things in the fridge I need to use up: arugula, lettuce, avocados, whole wheat tortillas. Here is what I'm making:


Vegan Beef with Broccoli and Brown Rice


Veg Kielbasa & Sauerkraut and Lemony Lima Bean Summer Salad


Veg Big Macs and Arugula Salad

My birthday dinner.


Fresh Veggie Tacos and Refried Beans

This will use up the whole wheat tortillas, lettuce, and avocados. I'll make the beans from my hoard of dry beans. 


Shakshuka

Because I have eggs, and I can dice up and throw any leftover mushrooms or tomatoes from the tacos into this.

Meal Planning

It's going to be too hot this week -- well into the 90s -- so I want to heat up the house with oven and stovetop use as little as possible. Here is what I'm making:


DIY Sandwiches and Bagged Salad

Because I already have bagged salad.


Zucchini Noodles with Haloumi and Pesto

Because I already have arugula and grape tomatoes.


Fresh Veggie Tacos


Veggie Summer Rolls


California Wrap and Cucumber Salad
