September Menu Plan + FREE Menu Calendar Printable!

The PPP 2026 September Recipe Calendar is here and it is sooooo fun!!! Fall is soon to be in the air, and I am loving simple meals at home. We chose the Low Carb Menus for the month of September, and I’m ready to have a few lighter meals before we go into C-R-O-C-K-T-O-B-E-R. 🙂

EEK! I CAN’T WAIT! If you’re new around here, this was last year’s Crocktober plan. 🙂 

This little idea to share the calendar has become more and more fun each month, and adding in our SIDES MENUS makes it extra special.

Curious what we’re cooking from this month? We’ll be using Low Carb and Celebration Menu Planning Made Easy Boxes this month plus the SIDES Menu Box (we picked this box because we wanted you to get to see how the Sides Dishes Menu Box would work with each of them. I think you’re going to love it!)

• LOW CARB
• CELEBRATION
• SIDES MENU

YOU DO NOT need all of our menu planning boxes to join us ~ if you’re on the fence, just pick the LOW CARB BOX and see how it goes for you for the month! 

We’ve got a LOT of yummy meals to choose from in September all packed into 4 happy weeks ~ bring on Fall!  

You’ll find all the recipes for the September Recipe Calendar included in our PPP Meal Packs, BUT don’t worry if you haven’t purchased them yet.  If you order now you’ll also receive the PDF files for all recipe cards and grocery lists (we’ll send them to your inbox RIGHT AWAY when you order, so you can start meal planning and join us even before your cards ship and make things like the yummy salad bowl below!)

Here’s what to expect with the September Recipe Calendar:

We’ll be making WEEKS NINE through TWELVE of the LOW CARB MENU PLAN.
