With the holiday season upon us, we could all use some help when it comes to the daily mealtime routine. There are so many fun parties, traditions, and cookie-baking endeavors to focus on — who wants to spend time worrying about dinner each night?! Instead, I’ve pulled together A Month of Easy Dinners (plus printable shopping lists) to keep you organized and efficient in the kitchen. I call them my “10-Minute Miracles” because these meals all come together with…you guessed it…10 minutes of prep!

A month of easy dinner recipes for your meal planning calendar!

Whether it’s the holiday season or not, we can all appreciate some new 10-minute easy dinners! In fact, I’ve managed to pull together an entire month of quick-prep recipes that include everything from slow cooker dishes, dump-and-bake one dish casseroles, one tray Sheet Pan Suppers, and a variety of seafood and meat options. You won’t get bored with all of these different meals, and I’ve even prepared free printable shopping lists for each week. No excuses!

Do you want to download a printable PDF copy of the hyperlinked recipe calendar and weekly shopping lists? It’s a free bonus for all of my email subscribers, so if you’re not already on my free email list, you can sign up here and I’ll send you the calendar and grocery lists instantly via email:

I’ve learned from my Simply Mailed meal planning service that you all love a flexible meal plan that includes 3 easy recipes each week, as well as an organized shopping list…so that’s exactly what I’ve done here! None of us want to prepare from-scratch dinners every single night of the week, so with 3 options on the menu you will still find plenty of time to squeeze in leftovers, your favorite carry-out pizza, or a holiday party night out on the town! You can rearrange the calendar each week to suit your schedule, too. Flexibility is the KEY, and the idea is to eliminate stress — not add more stress to your already busy lives!

Here’s a quick glance at the month ahead, with 4 weeks of easy dinners:
