You asked and I listened…here’s yet another free “real food” meal plan! This one utilizes produce that’s typically in-season during the summer months, and since so many of you have your own garden you have yet another cost-saving opportunity when stocking up for this meal plan. Creating these plans is rather labor-intensive though so I can only do it every so often. If you’d love to get some guidance on a more regular basis please check our sponsor, The Fresh 20, who cranks out new and creative meal plans on a weekly basis (including vegetarian and gluten-free options)!
As always, this is what you’ll find with the “100 Days of Real Food” meal plans:
- One 7-day practical “real food” menu plan designed for busy families
- Complete meals listed each day for breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner with leftovers incorporated
- Food quantities calculated for a family of four
- Corresponding grocery list showing what to buy in order of the store and actual cost for each item (as opposed to the price per serving) with seasonal ingredients highlighted so they can be purchased from the local farmers’ market if desired
- Budget-friendly prices comparable to what a family of four would receive on full food stamp (SNAP) benefits – $167/week – with plenty of additional cost-saving opportunities because:
- Coupons were not used
- Sale prices were not used
- Prices for organic items were used in most cases
- Summer garden harvests were not incorporated
- All underlined recipes are available on 100DaysofRealFood.com – check out the Recipes & Resources Page for a full list
- All recipes are working mom/dad-friendly including tips on what to make in advance over the weekend
- Almost every item listed follows our strict 10-day pledge rules, with just a few minor exceptions to keep the plan realistic for those busy working parents

I am having problems downloading your grocery store cheat sheet and your meal plans. Is there a way you could email me copies? I am interested and would like to read those and possibly take the 10 day challenge.
Thank you
Can’t find where to download the menu plan…I get regular emails from you….but have not gotten this…:(
The summer meal plan (and 3 others) are on facebook. Here’s the link: http://www.facebook.com/100daysofrealfood#!/100daysofrealfood?sk=app_190322544333196

Thanks for these! I’ve had a hard time finding healthy ways of making my meal plan. I know I’ve spent more then I need to and added more food. My spouse is a full time seminary student and I’m a stay at home mom. We’re looking forward to homeschooling next year and want to simplify life. That includes a healthier menu, and meal time order! Thanks!
