Prep-Plan Time needed: 2 hours (includes making dinner Sunday night) Meal prep steps:

  1. Make the black-eyed pea soup (while it is cooking I complete the rest of the list)
  2. Make the pizza dough and store it in the fridge.  Wipe down the food processor to use for chickpea cutlets
  3. Make falafel using the food processor.  Once they are formed into patties, put in a zip lock bag and store in the fridge.
  4. Make the spinach pie filling
  5. Chop the cauliflower
