    If she still eats eggs you can make a frittata with whatever is hanging out in the fridge (bits of veggies or cheese). Just make sure your non-stick pan is oven safe, most are these days. Serve with a green salad.

    If you can chop up some cucumber, onion, parsley and tomato: tabbouleh salad. You can find a million recipes online. It comes together pretty fast and tastes better after it sits for a while. Add some chickpeas or cooked lentils for extra protein.

    If she still eats cheese, you can't go wrong with a grilled cheese and tomato soup. If she doesn't eat cheese, I hear there are some good vegan cheese options out there. I will let our experienced vegans comment.

    Make chickpea salad sandwich (like a tuna salad, but with beans): Crush chickpeas with a fork or potato masher, add mayo, fresh chopped onion, pickle relish, a little mustard. Serve on toasted bread with a fat slice of tomato.

    Those are just a few quick meals off the top of my head.

      She still eats eggs and fish so thats helpful. The chickpea idea is interesting. I totally forgot about frittatas. I mainly cook with cast iron so they're good 2 go in the oven. I even got a killer deal on some enameled cast iron that wont get coated in egg.
