It’s almost March and that means it’s time for another delicious month of dinner meals. I added a few meals to the meal plan that we haven’t had in a long time as well as having many of our old faithful meals that my family really enjoys. I love it when my kids request specific THM meals to be put on the meal rotation. It makes my mama heart happy to know they’re eating nutritious meals.
If you’ve followed any of my dinner meal plans recently I’m sure you’ve noticed that I break down each day into a food category. This helps me immensely with planning and looking for specific types of recipes. March’s categories are:
Sunday – Asian
Monday – Mexican
Tuesday – Instant Pot or Slow Cooker
Wednesday – Italian
Thursday – Soups
Friday – Pizza
Saturday – Hodgepodge
If you’re wanting to create your own meal plan, give this method a try. It really helps me to organize my thoughts and options better. It also helps me to repeat meals less and have more variety. My family is excited about that!
For the month of March, I’ll be using three cookbooks – Trim Healthy Future, Trim Healthy Table , 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. 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.
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 8 so these meals all serve at least 8. Many of the meals leave leftovers even for my size family.***
