Welcome to the Smart Mom Monthly Menu Plan for July 2018. This monthly menu plan is designed to help busy moms get dinner done in a hurry. All dinners are kid-friendly recipes that you can fix fast because none of us want to spend extra time in the kitchen.
Note about the format change, I had been doing weekly menu plans. I have decided to change the format to one monthly menu plan. I’ll plan to share the new menu plan at the beginning of each month. I’ll also include a printable monthly menu so you can print it and use it all month.
