A full month of ideas for easy, homemade family-friendly dinners. Includes a free printable PDF calendar with each day’s menu idea for easy planning.A collage of six family friendly dinner ideas

I’m so excited to bring you today’s post!

Mostly because I get weirdly excited to menu plan and schedule out our meals.

No really, it brings me joy.

I get excited to do it. I think it’s the type A scheduler in me coming out in full force. 😬

If you’re interested, I’ve got a whole post of my official guide to meal planning, with all my tips and tricks.

And previously, I’ve shared a list of 30 easy healthy family dinner ideas that could work for any month of the year.

But today, I’m trying to make it easy on YOU by giving you a full month’s worth of ideas for healthy family dinner ideas.

This will carry you through the entire month of February.

(Update: here's the March meal plan that's now available as well.)

A monthly calendar for February with family dinner ideas for each day

I’ve included the photo of the meal plan here if you want to pin it, but there’s a free printable PDF link at the bottom as well, so you can easily save and print.

So let’s dive right in.

Notes on this February meal plan:

  • Each day has its own recipe idea, complete with sides if needed to make a full meal. (Some things like tacos are more all-inclusive, though you could add sides if you like.)
  • You can make easy swaps to suit your family’s tastes. Use whatever vegetables are you favorite to steam, make mashed potatoes instead of baked potatoes, choose white or brown rice, etc. Customize to your heart’s content.
  • Saturdays are blank. This is intentional and meant to be reserved for either using up any leftovers from the week or ordering dinner in or going out to eat. Cause we all need a break!

The calendar and meal plan are ideas for prompts to get you started.

If you also need specific recipes, I’ve got some included below. You can also grab recipes from your own collection, your favorite cookbooks, or from Pinterest or Google.

(Many of the recipes below are from my site, but I’ve also included recipes from others.)

Oh, and I included these ideas in order from Feb. 1 on the calendar to Feb. 28, with the date listed too, which will hopefully make things easier to find throughout the month.
