I seriously can’t believe that today is the last day of July! Where has the summer gone? We’ve enjoyed our beach & pool time, but it’s been so ridiculously hot, I’m actually glad there are a few rainy days on the forecast that will hopefully cool things down a tiny bit and give us an excuse to stay inside. (Of course, my adorable grandson doesn’t agree; he can’t get enough of the outdoors!)

With that in mind, I’m planning a couple of rainy day comfort food meals this week, featuring a few of my favorite bloggers.

• Black-Eyed Pea & Sweet Potato Tacos
• Gardein Turk’y Cutlets w/Gravy, Mashed Potatoes & Green Beans (for Chip & Dad)
• Gold Rush Chili 
• Vegan Corn and Roasted Poblano Chowder
• Vegan Lasagna Rollups
• Vegan Portabella French Dip

I’m also cleaning up my “diet” a bit since the past couple of weekly weigh-ins have been disappointing. Groan..

Here’s to a fresh new week and a whole new month! Have a great day!

Note: I follow a WFPBNO (whole food, plant-based, no oil) diet most of the time, deviating a bit here & there when dining out or when I just want a little treat.  When the recipe calls for oil, I substitute vegetable broth or plain water when appropriate. If the exact recipe I’m using isn’t published online, I will post a similar recipe.
