Another monthly meal plan is here. April is a pretty calm month in our house. We have one birthday (the hubby!) and not much else. That means we’ll be eating at home a lot so I needed to come up with a simple plan for the month. You’ll see my entire monthly meal plan below. I hope you find some new ideas for your meal plan in this post.
I don’t plan our breakfasts and lunches. Our children are 12 and 14 and are pretty independent with these meals. I just make sure we have basic supplies on hand so they can help themselves.
You also might want to grab my printable weekly meal planning worksheet and add your meals to each week.
