SEASONAL ROTATING MEAL PLAN FOR SUMMER – WEEK 4

Week 4’s menu is packed with a delicious selection of dishes to satisfy every craving. From a hearty meatless meal to a refreshing salad, an easy Instant Pot creation, delicious sandwiches, flavorful fish, and tasty grilled burgers, there’s something for everyone this week. To make your grocery shopping a breeze, the included shopping list is conveniently organized by department. This makes it simple to navigate the store and gather all the ingredients you need for a week of enjoyable meals.

WEEK 4 SUMMER MEAL PLAN

MONDAY – CHEESE OMELET

Indulge in a delightful meatless meal with our Baked Cheese Omelet paired with 2-Ingredient Flatbread! This dinner is perfect for our summer menu because it’s light, flavorful, and easy to prepare. The omelet is packed with gooey melted cheese and light, fluffy eggs, creating a satisfying dish without being too heavy for warm evenings. The 2-Ingredient Flatbread is a simple and tasty side that complements the omelet perfectly. **I eliminate the ham from the omelet recipe to make it a meatless meal.

Pairing these with some crispy potato chips adds a satisfying crunch that completes the classic summer dinner experience.

Summer Meal Plan Week 4: Menu & Shopping List

In the fourth week of our Summer Rotating Meal Plan, we created delicious dishes ideal for sunny days. Whether you’re craving refreshing salads or flavorful grilled meals, we’ve got you covered. Rotating seasonal meal plans during summer are crucial as they eliminate the need to plan meals weekly. We’ve simplified this by designing menus and shopping lists brimming with summer delights. The greatest perk? You can savor these menus throughout the summer, freeing up more time for enjoyable activities.
