Summer Meal Planning Printable
Summer meal planning requires home chefs to consider the weather and a family's activities more than any other time of year.
As days are longer and excursions can often run into the evening hours, having a flexible summer meal plan is essential.
I'm sharing a summer meal planning printable with simple ways to ensure that your meal planning and prep is low-impact for busy summer days.
Summer To-Go Dinner Ideas
When summer plans take you away from home for the entire day, plan a to-go dinner for the family.
Find a picnic table or open the lift gate for a fun and tasty al fresco dinner that's packed with flavor and protein to stave off hungry bellies when arriving home late.
Club sandwiches - Stack sliced grilled chicken, bacon slices, tomato, lettuce, avocado, mayo, mustard on hearty bread that will stand up to a few hours in the cooler.
Chicken Caesar Wraps - Layer sliced grilled chicken with crispy romaine, Parmesan cheese slices or shreds with creamy Caesar dressing.
Teriyaki Beef Wraps - Pre-cook thinly sliced teriyaki beef and wrap with sliced cabbage and carrot. Slather teriyaki mayo on a spinach tortilla for a delicious on the go meal.
Camping Meal Ideas
When you head to the wilderness and plan to cook over a camp stove, a little planning goes a long way.
There's nothing like the taste of food in the great outdoors enjoyed after a day spent on the trail, river or lake.
Here are some camping meal ideas that are tasty, affordable and easy to prep and prepare.
Brats and hotdogs with buns, chopped onions, ketchup and mustard

Summer Meal Planning Printable
It's easy to use your own summer meal planning printable to spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying family!
Create your printable downloading the PDF below to your computer. Print onto 8.5"x11" paper - either copy paper or card stock.
I prefer card stock as it holds up better under my constant usage.
Use the Grocery List area on the right to jot down ingredients to pick up at the grocery store and the prep tips to keep effort low and enjoyment high!
Each of the day boxes has a mini-box to include a date, if desired. Otherwise, simply use the days as your guide.
Print two copies to cover the entire summer from June to Labor Day.
