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