Tips for This Week’s Vegetarian Meal Plan

• To save time on Monday's baked orzo, do the prep work over the weekend.
• Wednesday's baked potato recipe is the only one on this week's plan that calls for green onions. If you have extra, add them to Friday's quesadillas.
• Friday's quesadillas call for ½ cup of frozen broccoli, but since you're already buying broccoli for Monday's orzo and Wednesday's potatoes, we left it off the list. To substitute fresh, just steam or boil it briefly and allow it to cool before adding it to the quesadillas.
