Looking for summer dinner ideas? Here’s what my family ate for dinner in July…plus links to the recipes!
Moms are always asking me what we eat, and how I manage to cook 5-6 nights a week with 2 little ones (plus being pregnant with baby #3).
I share all of the recipes that I try on Pinterest. I have boards dedicated to “My Eats” and “Pinned It. Tried it” where I share all of my recipe reviews. You can find me @kellymcnelis.
Here are some of my favorite summer dinner ideas.
And here are the links to the food that we ate that has already been featured on my blog.
- Chicken Pot Pie
- Crockpot Shredded BBQ Chicken
- Roasted Carrots
- The Crockpot Beef Roast with Carrots from my ’15-Minute Freezer Recipes’ Cookbook
- Grilled BBQ Chicken Pizza
- Chicken Broccoli Cheese Casserole
- Mexican Chili Cornbread Casserole
If you’re looking for more dinner ideas, check out the blog post that I wrote about meal planning for two weeks at a time to see what we ate in February. (It also includes a link to my free calendar printable that you can use to plans meals in advance.)
In our house, we share our weekly dinner menu on the DIY framed chalkboard hanging in our kitchen. That way the whole family knows what we’re eating that week. (Except maybe my 3 year old and 2 year old, who certainly can’t read yet.)
I hope these summer dinner ideas give you some cooking inspiration for the rest of August.

My husband and I have been planning and shopping for a week’s worth of meals at a time for quite a while now. Two months ago, the thought, “We should plan TWO weeks at once” entered my mind. So simple. Yet, so ingenious. Here’s everything you need to know to test it out. It will save you time and money and help your family eat healthier too!
I never get tired of writing and talking about meal planning. I think it’s the single most important thing busy moms can do to make sure that they’re eating healthy (and that their families are eating healthy too!). I’m sure there are super moms out there who can manage grocery shopping multiple times per week and coming up with healthy dinner ideas at a moment’s notice, but I’m not one of them. So if you’re like me (and the many, many other moms who I know), these 5 tips are for you:
A lot of moms (and women in general) tell me that their biggest diet struggle is preparing healthy meals for dinner. They do well for breakfast, lunch, and snacking, but then everything seems to fall apart after work/taking care of the kids/errands/etc. Today, I’d like to share what I do to avoid that trap in our house…plan meals ahead of time and grocery shop for the entire week at once. Sounds simple, right? It is!
