This time of year is so busy as we enjoy our final month of summer and get ready to go back to school! This is why I love monthly meal planning so much, all of August is planned so now there won’t be a scramble to make dinner every night.

What about Breakfast and Lunch?
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. In the summer I need to really keep some extra food on hand, especially for the 12-year-old; he is growing so fast and eats 5 meals a day!
Breakfast basics we keep on hand:
- Eggs
- Toast
- Pancake mix
- Oatmeal
- Waffles
- Fruit
- Yogurts
- Cottage Cheese
- Cereals
Hot breakfast meals I like to make occasionally:
- Baked Oatmeal
- Scones
- Banana Bread
- French Toast (We love this pumpkin french toast too!)
- Quiche
Lunch basics we keep on hand:
- Lunchmeat
- Cheeses
- Lettuce and tomatoes
- Bread and wraps
- Tuna salad
- Tortillas and cheese for quesadillas
- Chicken Salad
- Egg Salad
- Raman (if you have teens you probably have Raman Noodles in your house)
- Macaroni and Cheese
- Cut Vegetables and dip
- French fries or tater tots – the kids can cook in the airfryer.
- Frozen Pizzas
