Enjoy this September meal plan with a printable calendar and easy, family-friendly recipes.
September is here! (Or just around the corner depending on when you’re reading this.) 2026 is flying by. We’re settling into our new routine for Fall 2026. Two kids in middle school. Two kids in elementary school. Finding our groove, so to speak.
Two of our kids also play Flag Football. And two are in piano. So there are a few nights a week where schedules are picked by someone else. I keep that in mind when doing our menu plan. I need to make a plan that’s practical and doable. Plan your dinners with me! Whether you use this one or one you make yourself, a menu plan will bring you more peace in the kitchen. Want a menu plan that’s even more simple than this one? AND includes a shopping list? Try this one: ‘Incredibly Easy 5-Ingredient Meal Plan and Cookbook’ available on Amazon!
Available Menu Plan Formats:
- The easy-to-print version as a .PDF.
- The pre-filled file in Excel.
- An empty file in Excel. Make your own menu plan!
