Monday Menu Plan

I'll be honest.  I have not been menu planning.  At all.  I have even been avoiding grocery shopping.  At this point I have sufficiently depleted my stock of ready made meals in the freezer, and avoided taking the kids to the grocery store longer than is really advisable. We've had some reeeeaaallly creative meals the last few days.

Time for this mama to admit that summer is here to stay, and that means the kids need to come with me to the store.  Not that I mind so much, they're generally well behaved.  Alas, I have a child that hates to shop, and the act of getting her into the car to go to the store does not brighten anyone's day. *sigh*

Here's the plan for the week.  Super simple, as is getting to be the norm around here.
