Busy Summer Meal Plan

Welcome to another week of summer. Is summer going by fast for you too? I know the weeks are all blending together for me.

But to keep dinner easy on those busy summer days, I make a meal plan each week. If you haven’t made yours yet take a peek below for a few easy dinner ideas.

Warm weather for us here means more skillet dishes, more grilling, more slow cooker meals, and less running the oven.

This week we will be grilling London broil and hamburgers for a couple of dinners. I love how great beef comes out on the wood fired grill it tastes so good.

I’ll be preparing our hoisin meatballs in the slow cooker. I usually bake these but since it hot I’ll put them in the slow cooker about lunchtime and cook them for a few hours on medium so they’ll be ready in time for dinner.

The rest of our meals will be made on the stovetop in a skillet. I love skillet meals because they are so quick to make. And I’ve added a breakfast for dinner because it’s a cheap dinner too.

  1. We had swedish meatballs last night for dinner, which were yummy. I also tried a new Trim Healthy Mama cookie recipe, which we thought was just OK. The rest of the week isn’t too exciting meal-wise…my family wanted some old stand-bys like spaghetti and hamburgers.

    Hope you have a great week!

    1. My son could eat hamburgers every day so I know what you mean Erin. The swedish meatballs sound delicious we haven’t had them in so long.
