I'm pretty sure the only reason any of this meal got eaten by our favourite Monday dinner guest is because we were having chocolate pudding for dessert. Another Monday, another fail! You just never know with a 2 year old! Tonight we had spaghetti with a super easy (super delicious) lentil sauce and a tofu and veggie salad. I just kind of threw the salad together at lunch and it went over so well I will definitely be making it again. Possibly even this week, ha! I basically just marinated the tofu in a simple balsamic vinegar marinade and then baked it in the oven for 30 minutes. Then I threw it in a bowl with some tomatoes, cucumber, yellow pepper, carrots and the leftover marinade! So for next week all I know is that our little friend likes bread and... well that is actually all I know for sure :)

2 small chopped onions
3 cloves minced garlic
1 1/2 cups of dried green lentils
