A full month of easy healthy family dinner ideas to spark some new dinner inspiration, plus a printable calendar and tons of recipes to try!
We had a play date Saturday morning, followed by a fun bounce house birthday party, followed by an afternoon at the pool and then a movie night -- cause we were wiped! We watched Moana for the first time and it's super cute.
Yesterday, we took the kids to our local amusement park, Carowinds, and had a blast! J (almost 4) was really into the kiddie roller coasters while older sister M screamed her head off. 😂 But she still had fun and it was a great, sunny day of rides!
Easy And Healthy Family Meals
That's right, depending on where you live, you may have days or weeks left until school kicks back up and we rush head-first into fall.
I love to do it. I’ve got all of our August dinner menu filled out already and I spilled over into September before I could stop myself.
Today, I’m trying to make it easy on YOU by giving you 30 days of prompts for easy healthy family dinner ideas.
A Month Of Healthy Dinner Ideas For Kids
Yes, that's right, a full month of family friendly dinners so you don't have to even think about it. And these dishes are sure to please even the picky eaters in your family. (Well, most of them at least. Can't win 'em all, right? 😂)
These aren’t specific recipes, though I’m gonna provide you with some of those, too, in case you want to browse for inspiration or a starting point.
Instead, these are general healthy dinner ideas - such as spaghetti, fajitas, chicken curry - that can prompt you to find a recipe that’ll suit your family’s needs.
Best Family Dinner Ideas — Easy Dinner Recipes For The Family
I’ve kept these prompts very basic. Most are probably recipes that you’ve had before, maybe cooked before, maybe eat on a regular basis. We’re not reinventing the wheel here. We’re starting slow.
So that’s the list of the basic ideas. Hopefully some old favorite and hopefully some can be the new go-to dinner you need for busy nights!
Also, because I love you, and because I am type A and loved putting it together, I made you a free calendar printable with these dinner prompts spaced out - perfect for planning ahead!

Best Light Dinner Ideas
No matter the time of year, healthy family dinners are a must for any family, but no more so than during the school year.
I can not tell a lie. As much as I've enjoyed having my boys at home with me during the summer and appreciated every minute of our summertime adventures, I am looking forward to falling back into a schedule again as school starts. For many of you, the beginning of school means the start of busy after school and evening schedules. From sports practices to dance classes, math homework to school projects, there's a lot more to fit into the day.
If you're like me, you may find yourself falling into the trap of making the same meals over and over (and over!) again. Because it's easy. Because you don't have the energy or wherewithal at the end of the day to think of something more original. I get it! I'm right there with you.
