This Week's Meal Plan

This week's meal plan is from groceries that we already have (for the most part!).  It's nice to get back into the swing of things.  Last week, we planned meals for Monday-Wednesday and didn't finish the plan.  So, what did we do?  We ended up eating out Thursday and Friday we ate in the dining hall (which I have planned to NOT do for dinner!).  So, we NEED a plan!!
