It’s almost July, so that means that it’s time for another month of delicious on plan meals. I just love summertime for the more laid-back schedule, but with kids ranging from a newborn to teens we are busy a lot of the time. That is why it is SO important that I have a meal plan. It helps me to see what meat to take out of the freezer the night before, if I need to do any prep work, etc…
If you’ve followed any of my dinner meal plans I’m sure you’ve noticed that I break down each day into a food category. This helps me immensely with planning and looking for specific types of recipes. July’s categories are:
Sunday – Hodgepodge
Monday – Mexican
Tuesday – Instant Pot or Slow Cooker
Wednesday – Italian
Thursday – Salad
Friday – Pizza
Saturday – Grilling
For the month of July, I’ll be using three cookbooks – Trim Healthy Future, Trim Healthy Table , Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook. I also have a few online recipes mixed in as well.
If you’d like to receive an email as to when I upload the weekly full meal plan (including breakfast, lunch and snacks), subscribe so you never miss a meal plan. As always, a shopping list is included with these dinner meal plans. My goal is to make it as easy as possible for you and your family to stay on plan.
This meal plan covers five weeks. I find that it helps me to have five full weeks planned out, that way if I don’t get my meal plan done before the first of the month I have a couple of days of leeway in there.
***I have a family of 7 so these meals all serve at least 7. Many of the meals leave leftovers even for my size family.***
