Do you know what happens this month? Summer ends and fall begins!!! These last days of summer are perfect for enjoying the fresh produce from farmers’ markets and including some comfort foods in the September 2020 Meal Plan while we look forward to cooler days ahead.
Did this month sneak up on you like it did me? I’m getting this meal plan up a week late because I just was totally unprepared for the month. It’s not like I didn’t see it coming. Not like I didn’t know what all I needed to get done. Yet here we are. Sometimes you just have to roll with it, so better late than never!
What are you cooking this month?
I have way more lunch recipes listed this month compared to previous months since my kids are getting really interested in cooking their own meals. And they’re finally on board with trying new foods! As long as they’re “kid” foods – whatever that means. So, check out this month’s “kid foods” in the lunch sections of each week!
Want to plan next month’s meals in minutes?
I discovered a method that is a huge time saver, and I LOVE not having to worry about what I’m cooking for a whole month. Grab your own copy of my One Month Meal Planning System by plugging your email in below. It’s totally free so you can get started right away!
