October 2024 Menu Plan – Not Scary In The Kitchen!

by Jayme on October 1, 2024

Enjoy this October 2024 meal plan with a printable calendar and easy, family-friendly recipes.

The weather here in Nebraska doesn’t seem to know what it wants to do. September started out REALLY HOT, then got a little more mild, then we had some downright beautifully cool days. Now we’re back up in the upper 80s. I’m ready for the Fall coolness to come and stay for a bit!

On the home front, October brings some calming. Flag Football will end. Soccer will end. And that will free up 4 of our days. It will be glorious! I’m going to look at getting my 8-year-old into swim lessons to build some confidence, but still….things will get calmer.

And calmer is nice for me. But even though things will get calmer, I’ll still make and follow a menu plan. Follow this menu plan with me! Want a menu plan that includes shopping list? Try this one: ‘Incredibly Easy 5-Ingredient Meal Plan and Cookbook’ available on Amazon!
