Do you need to get on track and actually make dinner every single night? Yeah, me too! That’s why I love our menu plans so so much. For the month of June we will be cooking and grilling from our Summer Menu Plan. It’s full of grilling recipes and lots of cook once eat twice recipes (yay!) and also some fun casseroles too!
If you haven’t seen our Summer Menu Kit you’ll want to check it out. It includes our summer box (with 72 recipes, 12 weekly menu plans, and coordinating grocery lists), our summer expansion pack (an additional 24 recipes) and our super cute classic recipe binder, perfect for organizing your summer menu plan recipes.
I thought it would be fun to do a little summer cooking challenge this week. So every day June 1-5th we will be cooking/grilling from Week 1 of our Summer Menu Plan.

Now, because I’m a real life momma just like you :), I wanted to let you know that we are in the midst of a kitchen remodel so I’m having to majorly tweak what we can do right now as far as cooking goes. But, I will definitely be trying to have James grill as much as he can (or will) because peanut butter and jelly does get old after a while (even though I do love a pbj)!
So hop up, head to your computer, and print your PPP 2026 June Recipe Calendar, then get ready for the month! My family will be in and out this summer, and I am ready to get to cooking with a few of my favorites at home (and the menu plan is just so good!)
****PRINT YOUR JUNE MENU PLAN CALENDAR HERE ****
TIP: YOU DO NOT need all of these menu planning boxes to join us ~ if you’re on the fence, just pick one and see how it goes for you for the month! But if you’re one of those folks who has all of our menu plans (or if you just are looking for some diversity at dinnertime each month!) this is going to be fun for you.

Don’t forget, you’ll find all the recipes for the June 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!)
Â

If you’re interested, you can also still get our Summer Menu Plans in the PPP Shop. And don’t forget, the SIDES menu plan! These have all been VERY WELL LOVED, and with all NINE plans, you will pretty much have all your menu plans mapped out forever. 🙂Â
If you’re tired of spending all of your time in the grocery store, you’ll love Grocery by PPP! This grocery experience combines all of your favorite PPP Menu Plans AND grocery shopping – all from the comfort of your home (or practice, the office – wherever you might be!). Simply select the recipes you want on your menu that week (or use our monthly menu plan), choose your grocery store and select pickup or delivery. It is as simple as 5 clicks – with no aisles, no ads, and no stress! Plus our monthly calendar is now included with your membership! You’ll get access to every single recipe that is included on the calendar each month making menu planning even easier!
Grocery by PPP seamlessly integrates with Walmart, Instacart (which includes stores like Aldi, HEB, Publix, Whole Foods, and MANY more) and Kroger and its affiliates, so there is an option for everyone! If you prefer to shop in the store or to use a store that isn’t included in Grocery by PPP, you can also print out your custom grocery list and shop directly in the store. It is seriously a game-changer!Â
Whew ~ I think that’s it! If you’re ready to actually make dinner at home, with your family gathered around and yummy, good-for-you food on the table, grab your Menu Plans TODAY and join us as we start cooking. I can’t wait to start cooking with you! After that, all that’s left to do is enjoy. Happy happy happy menu planning!

Are there any plans for the next menu box or pdf file? I have them all and always look forward to more new recipes!
Hi Gayle! We do have more menu boxes in the works. We will be sure to share more about them as we get closer to their launch dates. 🙂
Hi Laurie, how are you? My family and I love the freezer meals menu plans, it’s awesome. I watched one of the videos starring Shannon and she stated if anyone type in the word “Summer” in the comments area, I will get a free summer menu box. Is this true? Have a nice day.
Hi Sheila! I’m so glad you love our freezer meals plans! It’s definitely one of our popular ones! In Shannon’s video, if you type in the word “Summer”, we’ll send you some free recipes to try from our Summer Menu Box. Hope that helps!
I wish I could spare the extra for your meal planning. I live by myself and it gets frustrating trying to decide what to cook for just me.
We definitely do not want you doing something that isn’t within your budget. Our Crocktober eBook is free! You can find it here: https://passionatepennypincher.com/crocktober/ Hope that helps!
Cook a meal for 4 people every day for one week then freeze the other 3 portions to eat over the rest of the month!! So you make pot roast for 4 people on Monday, eat 1, freeze 3, and every Monday, pull out one of those pot roast portions! Dishes and cooking just 1 week a month!
That is a great idea Kelly! 🙂
My family has enjoyed every recipe so far! I may have missed it but I can’t find what the 3 Asparagus looking icons mean.
Thank you!
Marcy
Hey Marcy. The asparagus symbol means it is a low cal side.
