Weekly Family Meal Plan #178
Can you believe it’s Fourth of July week already? It feels like we’re just getting into the swing of summer with pool days, bonfires, and cookouts. For the next two months, I expect to permanently smell like sunscreen and bug spray, and I don’t mind a bit.
This week’s meal plan brings you some fresh berry salads, pasta, casseroles, and a red, white, and blue dessert. If you’re looking for more patriotic recipes check out my Red, White, and Blue Berry Angel Food Cake Parfaits (a super easy dessert to throw together) and my favorite Bumbleberry Pie.
And if you’re headed to some holiday parties and need a side dish to share, I’ve got a whole slew of Cookout Side Dish recipes that are perfect for pairing with hamburgers and hot dogs.
Happy Fourth, friends!
