Easy Summer Dinner Ideas
Happy Monday to you. Have you made your menu plan for this week? If you haven’t you can find a few quick and easy dinner ideas on our menu plan this week.
The weather isn’t scorching like a week ago but it’s still going to be warm this week at our house so we’ll be grilling and cooking on the stove top all week. It’s just too hot to bake or run the oven.
Even though I’m dying to try the air fryer options on my new oven, it will have to wait for cooler weather.
I’m hoping to get some canning done this week. I was able to can bread and butter pickles last week and I’m hoping to get some dill pickles made this week too.
I’ve planned a few easy summer meals. That way if I’m tired, making dinner won’t be hard at all. We’ll be grilling 4 days this week, grilling always seems like such an easy dinner to me.
The rest of the week will be easy skillet or stove tops dinners. I’ve included a breakfast for dinner because it’s easy to make, my whole family loves breakfast for dinner and it’s a frugal dinner too.

Hi, Shelly! Your menu looks good. 🙂 The grilled pork chops sound particularly good.
Grilling is easy for me, too, but mostly because I don’t have do it. LOL My husband is always the one to prepare the grill and cook whatever we’re eating on it.
I hope you and your family have a great week!
That’s great that your husband does the grilling. It gives you a night off from cooking. I hope you have a great week too.
I’m glad to hear that your weather has cooled down a bit after that really hot spell.
It’s supposed to be hot today in our area, so I’m using the crock pot for dinner tonight, making some Cajun cream chicken and a nice green salad.
Have a great week!
School started for us this week so I tried to keep it really simple with basic things we all like such as tacos. It’s strange but I think we tend to use our grill more in the fall after the weather has cooled off a bit. Hope you are in the middle of a wonderful week!
We have a few weeks before school starts here but it’s coming. Grilling in the fall I think is the best. It’s cooler and makes for an easy dinner. I hope you have a great rest of the week, Jean.
