Meal Plan Monday - Week 3 of 13

Well, the first two weeks of my 13-week meal plan went so smoothly that I couldn't expect it to last forever. We had two main glitches this week:

1. My soup on Tuesday turned out - well, let's just say it wasn't anybody's favorite. It was my first time making it, and it sure sounded like a winner. But, sadly, it is not and I'll be replacing it in the next rotation.

2. Lentil loaf and the OMG Onion Rings from Appetite for Reduction are two family favorites and go great together as a meal. Unfortunately, they're also both a major ordeal to make and I've decided that for the sake of my sanity, they will no longer be made on the same night. It probably didn't help that they were on the menu on a day that started at 7AM and never stopped. Next time around, I'll be pairing the lentil loaf with broccoli and a simple salad and adding the onion rings to some type of veggie plate.

Other than that, we're still enjoying the benefits of the pre-planning! Here's what we ate for Week 3:
