Meal Plan and Grocery List 7/11- 7/17

I realize that my meal plan went on summer break when school let out for the summer. Now that we're facing our busiest week yet this summer (Both children are enrolled in vacation bible school and I am in charge of organizing the snacks all week for 172 kiddos, plus we have swim lessons every evening and I have a couple of meetings this week too!), I thought it was time I revisited the meal plan. Hopefully this meal plan will keep me on track to provide healthy meals all week and I can resist the temptation to hit the drive-thru on the way home every night. Also, since my posts have been few and far between this summer, I'm hoping that this re-newed focus cooking and the groceries in my fridge and pantry will give me something to share with all of you!
