Dinner made easy.

Cooking dinner at home can be so overwhelming! The grocery shopping, the time, the planning, the expenses and the cooking, it can feel like a chore.

This is why I wrote A Month of Dinner, to help make dinner easier for the everyday cook. I want to help you cook at home more by saving you time, money and sanity!

A Month of Dinner is more than a collection of recipes and pre-made grocery lists, it's a tool in your kitchen to help make dinner approachable, affordable and delicious.

AMOD is more than just a cookbook

  • 4 weeks of dinner and dessert recipes per volume.
  • Pre-made weekly grocery lists that are budget-friendly and use ingredients you can find at any grocery store, no matter if you shop at Walmart or Whole Foods.
  • A “Pantry Staples” list of essentials to help you have a well-stocked pantry.
  • Weekly “Plan Ahead” tips to make the cooking throughout the week easier.
  • Coordinated ingredients to save you money.
  • Recipes that are easy to adapt for gluten-free and/or dairy-free needs.

Love from happy chefs

It's an honor to be invited into your kitchen. Check out some of the kind words and testimonials from just a few of the happy chefs who are cooking with A Month of Dinner.

I’ve really been enjoying Substack lately (can you tell 🙈) and opening up a bit more in a space that feels both welcoming and encouraging of sharing the joys of motherhood. It’s so fun to write (I love to write!!), flex my creative muscle and express myself, whether I’m sharing a few of my favorite things, new recipes, my love for motherhood and my children, my faith, my appreciation of nature and other random thoughts that pop into my head.
