A Two-Week Summer Meal Plan

Getting bored with your usual recipes? or need more inspiration to use up seasonal fruits and veggies? Start with this Summer Meal Plan!

By Emily McClements, Contributing Writer

It’s the time of year where the local Farmer’s Markets and our gardens have begun to overflow with the season’s harvest which make it the perfect opportunity to incorporate a wide variety of produce into our meal plans!

I want my family to enjoy as many of the different fruits and vegetables that are in season right now as possible. My kids will easily devour an entire carton of raspberries or blueberries almost as soon as I wash them and set them out. But, they haven’t developed an appreciation for some of the other summer produce, like zucchini, tomatoes, and beets yet. I’m hoping that serving them lots of delicious produce in different ways this time of year will continue to expand their palates.

I’ve put together enough recipes for a two-week Summer Meal Plan to include as many of the flavors of the season as I could. Use these meals as a jumping off point to create your own Summer Meal Plan!

Summer Meal Plan

Breakfast

Start off your day right with all the fresh veggies and sweet and juicy fruits of the season!

Make double batches of the pancakes and muffins to use for quick and easy breakfasts next week. And feel free to repeat any of the quick and easy breakfasts if you need to.

Quick & Easy

  • Yogurt and granola with sliced peaches*
  • Smoothies with fresh fruit and veggies and scrambled eggs
  • Oatmeal with fresh blueberries and peaches

More Time, Worth the Effort!

For mornings when you have a little bit of time:

Lunch

My favorite lunches involve either eating dinner leftovers just as they are, or remaking leftovers into another delicious meal.

Dinner

  1. I have read your article about how you spend $350/mo on groceries. I’m assuming this all “real” food and not processed or canned food. We are a family of 5. I am a stay-at-home mom with three boys (12-17). I don’t use coupons because the coupons that I find are for things that we don’t use at all. We for the most part try to eat healthy. No wheat, gluten, sugar (only on special occasions). We don’t buy processed meats from the deli but maybe once every few months. I still cannot figure how you can spend that amount of money. I’ve saved my grocery bills for the last three months and have calculated how much we spend on food and it is way over $350. I just don’t get it. Does anyone else have this problem?

  2. Thanks for sharing the recipe, I really like and would love to try it. 5 stars for this recipe because I like it <3
