Tips for This Week's Vegetarian Meal Plan
- A few of this week's recipe call for fresh cilantro, so make sure you buy a nice big bunch. If you can't find one large bunch, grab two smaller ones. Also make sure it's nice and fresh, so it will last through the week.
- If you find yourself with some leftover parsley or cilantro, check out our tips for using up leftover herbs.
- The peanutty quinoa bowls recipe serves two, so double it to feed a family of four.
- The chana masala stuffed sweet potatoes recipe is the only recipe this week that calls for coconut oil, so we left that ingredient off of the list. Use olive oil, or whatever cooking oil you've got on hand. If you want to stick to the recipe and use coconut oil, then add it to the list.
- The baked tofu calls for maple syrup. If you don't have any on hand, feel free to substitute honey or another liquid sweetener.
