The sensor that gets the name of the meal can be achieved using the following REST sensor in Home Assistant
```yaml
sensor:
- platform: rest
resource: 'http://localhost:9000/api/meal-plans/today'
method: GET
name: Mealie todays meal
headers:
Authorization: Bearer MySuperSecretBearerCode
value_template: "{{ value_json.name }}"
```
The Bearer token can be created from the User Settings page (https://hay-kot.github.io/mealie/documentation/users-groups/user-settings/#api-key-generation)
!!! tip
Due to how Home Assistant works with images, I had to include the additional styling to get the images to not appear distorted. This includes and [additional installation](https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-card-mod) from HACS.
