I’m not really a lover of summer meal planning, but boy does it make life easier and more affordable.  So I begrudgingly do it.  And if I’m going to work on this anyway, why not share it with you?  Hopefully my ideas will make your planning a little easier in some way.

For us, summertime meal planning involves a lot of grilling out.  (Which means more meat and more expense.  So I also try to plan some frugal meals for our more relaxed days.)  If I didn’t own a grill (and we went without one for a few years, so we’ve definitely been there), I would likely bake these meals in the oven or fry them on the stove.

This meal plan is for two weeks worth of meals in our home.  I try to keep things simple and repeat our favorite meals.
