Ingredients List* (Items I actually bought this week are in red. Everything else was already in my pantry or fridge)
- *This list does not include the household staples that I always have around my kitchen.
Prep-Plan Time needed: 2 hours (includes making dinner Sunday night) Meal prep steps:
- Make the black-eyed pea soup (while it is cooking I complete the rest of the list)
- Make the pizza dough and store it in the fridge. Wipe down the food processor to use for chickpea cutlets
- Make falafel using the food processor. Once they are formed into patties, put in a zip lock bag and store in the fridge.
- Make the spinach pie filling
- Chop the cauliflower
