Can you believe that we made it to 2019? It seems absolutely crazy to me. It feels like 2018 flew by, but I think I say that about every year now. Ever since I had kids it just seems that time goes way too fast.
It’s a new year! Is one of your goals for the new year to follow a meal plan? I am determined and committed to keep on developing and sticking to my meal plans.
Last fall life got a bit crazy and I was starting to veer off course a bit and I started feeling miserable. Trim Healthy Mama not only keeps you (or helps you get) slim and trim, but it just makes you feel better. I did awesome in late November and December so I’m committed to keeping on plan as close to 100% as possible. I just feel better which helps me in all areas of my life.
(Printable January Meal Calendar)
For the month of January, I will be using three different cookbooks, as well as some online recipes. The cookbooks I’ll be using are the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook, Trim Healthy Table and Convenient Food. A lot of you probably have the first two books, but the third one is by my blogging buddy, Briana Thomas Burkholder. It is a FANTASTIC book that I highly recommend adding to your collection. You can read my full review of it here.
In addition to this month of dinner meals, each Monday I come out with a full meal plan for the week. By full meal plan, I mean that I plan out all meals, snacks and drinks. I try to make life on Trim Healthy Mama as simple as possible for my readers.
All of these meal plans are FREE, printable and come with a printable shopping list too. If you’d like to see some samples of my full meal plans, you can find them here. To ensure that you never miss a post you can sign-up to be on my e-mail subscriber list too. See the picture below on how to find out where to subscribe.
This month’s dinner meal plan is for five full weeks. There is a couple of days of overlap from December and then a couple of days for February as well. My hope is that this dinner meal plan will help make your life a little easier, especially if you are newer to Trim Healthy Mama.

Sorry if this question sounds dumb, but if I don’t have all 3 of the cookbooks that you are using can I still be able to get all the cooking recipes and info. on them? Thank you
No because of copyright issues I can’t share the recipe and cooking instructions. Sorry!
Thanks for sharing your hard work! Success in THM depends a lot on the planning. While I don’t follow every suggestion when the blogging community shares these, they definitely get me looking at recipes I may have overlooked. I have all of the books your using, even the new Convenient Food! (asked for it for Christmas and received) so i can’t wait to find some new choices.
