Menu Plan Monday: Week of July 6, 2015

Cherries, summer cocktails, meatless barbecue recipes, and this week’s menu plan Monday. 

I know it’s not Monday anymore, but this past weekend was crazy so I’m a little late in posting my weekly menu plan and link love post. I’m sure you’ve all been wondering what we’re eating this week in the Nutritioulicious house and what my favorite reads and recipes were from last week, so I’ll keep this brief and get right to it. Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend and enjoyed some food, fun, and fireworks!
