July Menu Plan Week 5
Take the stress out of weeknight dinners. Use this free weekly menu plan for the last week of July. This week, to cook dinner without using the oven, we are making dinner with the Air Fryer, grill and the Crock-Pot.
I have over 45 years of cooking experience including cooking for parties and small groups. I also worked in the restaurant industry for years, where one of the things I enjoyed learning most was cooking soul food.
See these deals on Air Fryers on Amazon. These deals on Crockpots on Amazon.
Let me teach you how to make your own personalized Menu Plan that you can use over and over again. See the video below.

July Meal Plan Week 5
1. Rotisserie Chicken Salad Sandwiches
Serve your flavorful homemade chicken salad as sandwiches or on a bed of lettuce for lighter eating. Rotisserie chickens are always reduced at the grocery store after 3 pm, but they disappear quickly at that price.
2. Homemade Chicken and Dumplings
Chicken and Dumplings is a tasty, easy recipe cooked on the stovetop. Plus, it is a one-pot dinner, so there is easy cleanup. A good brand of frozen dumplings is the secret to this delicious meal.
3. Air Fryer Catfish Nuggets
You only need three simple ingredients for these crispy Air-Fried Catfish Nuggets.
Don’t have an Air Fryer? See this selection at Walmart with a variety of price ranges and sizes to suit your needs.
4. Air Fryer Cheesy Chicken Tenders
These Air-Fried Chicken Tenders are coated with a cheesy cracker crust and cooked to a tender, juicy bite. Serve with Ranch dressing for dipping.
5 Crockpot Zesty Italian Leg Quarters
Pick up one of those five-pound bags of leg quarters from the grocery store. They are great for grilling or cooking this simple Crockpot recipe in the summer.
6. Sloppy Joes
Sloppy Joes are a favorite meal any time of the year, but especially in the summer because it is a stove-top meal.

7 Grilled Burgers and Hot Dogs
Nothing says summer food more than grilled burgers and hot dogs. This meal is great for not turning on the oven and for easy dinner clean-up, too.
