Can you believe that it is almost July? This summer is flying by and I couldn’t believe that it was time to make yet another monthly meal plan of Trim Healthy Mama dinners. As always, my meal plans actually cover five weeks and I’m sticking with having a theme for each night of the week. It makes my planning go so much quicker.
Here are the themes for this month:
Sunday – Hodgepodge
Monday – Mexican
Tuesday – Instant Pot or Slow Cooker
Wednesday – Italian
Thursday – Salads
Friday – Pizza
Saturday – Grilling
If you’re wanting to create your own meal plan, give this method a try. It really helped me to organize my thoughts and options better. It also helped me to repeat meals less and have more variety. My family is excited about that!
For the month of July, I’ll be using two cookbooks – Trim Healthy Table and the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook. I also have quite a few online recipes mixed in as well.
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.
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.
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.***

I have got to get back on track. My problem is being a family of one. My only thought is to cut everything on fourths and then do left overs every other day.
