Hey! I found a website that plans out five meals/week for you. Included in the meal planning is a grocery list! Can you believe it? I've included the sample menu below. If you like the idea, you can pay kidapprovedmeals.com. If you're not up for paying to be organized, you can just see how they did it and get a few good ideas, wink, wink.
