Tips for This Week’s Vegetarian Meal Plan

• Put an extra sweet potato in the oven when you make Monday's pizza, so it will be ready to go for Wednesday's falafel when you go to make it.
• The chickpeas for Wednesday's falafel and the beans for Thursday's soup need to be soaked overnight, so remember to get them a day ahead.
• If you don't want to buy a whole package of chickpea flour, you can make your own. Just place some dried chickpeas into a food processor and process to a powder.
• Since Wednesday's falafel is the only recipe that calls for grapeseed oil, we left it off the list. Substitute any high heat oil you've got on hand.
• Wednesday's falafel can be served a variety of ways, including over salad, stuffed into pita bread, and topped with hummus or tahini. Add your favorite accompaniments to the list.
