Tonight I made Dreena’s “Lightened-Up” Falafels from The Everyday Vegan. I served the falafels in whole wheat pita pockets with romaine lettuce and homemade cilantro hummus. This was my first time making falafels and I must say–I was pretty proud of the way they turned out. They were a little mushy inside due to the fact that I cooked them at too high of a temperature for too short of a time, but other than that, they were pretty good. Next time, though, I think I will deep fry them…they may no longer be “lightened-up”–but, boy they will be tasty!

On the side of these pockets, we had quinoa and apples.
