July 2021 Dinner Menu

Summer has arrived and it is hot, hot, hot around here. We’re keeping cool by eating lots of popsicles! Like I did last month, I’ve planned meals that don’t require the oven to prepare. Everything on this menu can be prepared on the stove, in the air fryer, or in the slow cooker.

As each new month begins, I take time to plan out our dinners for the coming weeks (you can view many of my past menus here). I prefer this approach because it means I don’t have to take time to meal plan each week. Additionally, I’m sometimes able to save a little money by purchasing bulk quantities of the foods I know I’ll use multiple times during the month. I only plan our dinners because we keep things simple for breakfast and lunch. For breakfast, we eat things like oatmeal, fruit with yogurt, and homemade muffins. For lunch, we eat leftovers or simple things like ham and cheese sandwiches.

Here are the tasty meals I plan to prepare during July 2021.
