      August 2020 Monthly Meal Plan

      on 7.31.2020 at 2:05pm
      0 Comments

      It’s almost a new month, which maybe feels surprising since time seems to have lost all meaning during this global pandemic. But it’s now the last month of summer (although we still have many warm days ahead in the south) and even if you’re mostly still just staying at home, people still need to it! As I do every month, I’ve got you covered with 31 days of meal ideas for August in this monthly meal plan.

      August 2020 Monthly Meal Plan

      This month, I had in mind the many families who are looking at what is perhaps a different school year than they had anticipated. Even if you feel confident in whatever choice you have made, it may not be the one you were expecting, and you may be dealing with last minute changes. Those things are stressful! So with that in the back of my head, I tried to come up with something really simple. One night, the meal is popcorn shrimp (yes, like the kind you buy in the frozen section and just pop in the oven). If that’s not something you want to buy or your family doesn’t like, then subsitute something else that’s just as easy. Corn dogs, maybe? The point of a plan is not to have a fancy meal every night; it’s to relieve stress and let you make the choice ahead of time so you’re not feeling frantic every day. It’s OK if the choice is corn dogs or popcorn shrimp!

      I’ve also kind of come up with a new meal template that we’re using. Each week, I’m planning breakfast for dinner, grilling, and pizza. Then filling in the other nights with recipes that sound good and everyone likes. I’m hoping that makes for a simple August in the kitchen!

                  There aren’t always enough hours in the day to accomplish an extravagant dinner, so often we’re looking for healthy options that can be prepared in a hurry.  There are also just some times when I need some inspiration. We can get stuck in a rut, which is fine, but every once in a while I enjoy trying something new. Here are some simple, fast and fresh dinner ideas that are delicious, even on a budget.

                  Note: These prices are based off of averages and are subject to change weekly.

                  5 Fast and Fresh Dinner Recipes for Summer

                  Baked Tilapia
                  I’ve heard some mention that Tilapia isn’t worth eating, I’d encourage you to try different recipes before you give up.  It’s one of the cheapest options for fish (though not as cheap as chicken) and is a great way to mix up your dinner routine.

                  Lemons, 49¢
                  Tilapia fillets, $3.99/lb
                  Butter, $1.50
                  Parmesan cheese, $1.99

                  Cashew Chicken

                  Since I mentioned that chicken is so cheap, here’s a fun way to dress it up.  We even see cashews on sale (this week bogo at Publix).  I love asian flavored dishes!

                  Mixed nuts or cashews, $4.99
                  Broccoli bunch, $1.99
                  Chicken breasts, $1.99/lb

                  Cheesy Tex Mex Tortilla Rolls

                  Grab great deals on tortillas at Publix or Kroger and have a meatless dinner with black beans as your protein.  Add to it with some simple Spanish rice or even chips and dip.

                  Tortillas, $1.25
                  Black Beans, 75¢
                  Cheddar cheese, $2
                  Bell Peppers, $1

                  Pan-Seared Sirloin Steaks

                  Thankfully the price of beef has started coming back down, so splurge a little and have a steak night this week!  You can break out the grill, but this is a great alternative for a quick way to cook a steak.

                  Boneless sirloin steaks, $6.50/lb

                  Summer Corn, Bacon, & Potato Chowder 

                  I know it’s a tad hot out… but soup night is always a favorite in our house.  I love this recipe.  If folks in your house need a bit more meat you can add in diced ham or even a slice of ham on the side (also bogo at Publix this week).

                  Baking potatoes, $1/lb
                  Onions, $1/lb
                  White Corn, 69¢
                  Bacon, $3.50
