May Dinner THM Meal Plan

 

 

I spent a little time cleaning out some of my kitchen cupboards this past month. Wow, the things I found in there that I didn’t remember I had! As I was going through my cookbooks I found my copy of Everyday Ketogenic Kitchen that I used to use quite regularly but haven’t for a few months. I was so excited to look through it again and find some of the old recipes that I loved. All of the recipes in here work with Trim Healthy Mama and fit into the S category.

 

 

For the month of May, 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 Everyday Ketogenic Kitchen by Carolyn Ketchum. A lot of you probably have the first two books, but the third one is one that I’ve had for a while and want to start using it more regularly. It is a FANTASTIC book that I highly recommend adding to your collection.

I’m excited to be trying a few new meals this month! I feel like each time I peruse the cookbooks I keep finding different recipes that I want to try. I hope you all like them too! Like the last couple of months, a shopping list will be included from now on with these dinner meal plans.

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.

I get a lot of questions each month about what my monthly grocery budget is. I spend right around $450 per month for my family of 7. That is for all our meals, snacks and drinks, NOT just on this dinner menu. If you’re curious about how I do that you can read this article I wrote that goes into all the details.

 

 

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 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.***
