May Trim Healthy Mama Dinner Meal Plan

 

 

I can’t believe that another month has gone by and that it is time for another dinner meal plan! I’m continuing to choose Trim Healthy Mama meals that are budget-friendly, utilize pantry and freezer ingredients, and that I know will stretch and have leftovers for lunch the next day. I’m also making sure that I plan on at least one meatless meal per week. This really helps stretch the grocery budget!

I don’t know about you, but I feel like all I’ve been doing is cooking. The days of quarantine are long, but the weeks seem to go by quickly. Not really sure how that works, but that’s how it has been at my house. I hope you all are doing well and staying healthy.

 

 

For the month of May, 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.***
