Meal Plan and Grocery List 8/16-8/22

The meal plan is back! As I flipped through my recipes tonight, planning the next two weeks of meals for my family, I realized that I posted my last meal plan on here nearly a month ago. Wow. Then planning went out the window and we fell into a carefree summer lifestyle with reckless abandon. No regrets. We definitely made the most of this gorgeous summer. Now the first day of school is just around the corner, we have concluded all of our summer travels, and life is returning to it's normal routine. It feels good.
