I can’t believe that it is (almost) September already!! That means it is time for another month of Trim Healthy Mama dinners. Summer flew by as usual and here we are heading back to school, fall activities and cooler weather once again. The one bonus of this is that I can eat soups again without sweating. This makes me so happy!
Soups really help to stretch my grocery budget and are delicious. You’ll notice soups on the menu at least once a week this month. Some of them are my favorites and I’m trying a couple of new ones as well. If you’d like to see even more yummy on plan soups check out my 20 favorite THM soups.
For the month of September, 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. Although having a blog is usually the motivation I need to get it done on time. 
***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.***
