30 Dinner Theme Nights for a Month of Meals


This post has been sponsored by Tyson Foods, Inc. All thoughts and opinions are my own.


Planning dinner for your family day in and day out can be a total chore. So, why not make it a little more fun by trying Dinner Theme Nights?!

Dinner theme nights are easy to plan; simply assign each night of the week (or month) a specific theme. Then, choose a meal that fits the theme. You can have regular weekly themes or rotate lots of different theme night ideas if you prefer. It's a great way to spark your meal-planning creativity and have some fun with dinner, too!

Looking for dinner theme night ideas for your family? I have 30 dinner themes and a great way to include more meatless meals in your rotation. Keep reading to find out how!

Meatless Meals Made Easy


I like to include at least one meatless meal in our weekly rotation, but finding ideas that my kids like isn't always easy. That's why I am so happy I discovered the new Raised & Rooted™ Nuggets on my regular Safeway grocery trip. 




Safeway is my go-to for finding everything I need for family meal time, and using the Safeway mobile app means that I never forget to save. 





If you asked my son what he would like for dinner, 9 times out of 10, the answer would be "nuggets." Raised & Rooted™ Nuggets let me fill that request with familiar flavors and plant-based protein. It's the perfect choice for Meatless Monday!

Raised & Rooted is the perfect pick for our family when it comes to easy meatless meals. With a crispy coating outside and tender, juicy flavors inside, it's something we can all agree on. Served with our favorite dipping sauces or by themselves, these nuggets are a mouthwatering meat alternative. They've quickly become not only one of our Meatless Monday favorites but a regular on Kids' Choice night too!



Click here to try Raised & Rooted™ Nuggets at your local Safeway store and save $1.50 off your purchase of Raised & Rooted Nuggets! You can even save on the Just 4 U app until 10/15!
