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.

Sausage Pancake Muffins This recipe has been such a hit with my kids, I decided to throw it on the feed in case anyone is in a need of an easy, kid-friendly, allergen-friendly, protein-filled breakfast for your littles… because why not! No sketchy ingredients or seed oils or any of that junk 😇 All you do is mix ground breakfast sausage with my homemade pancake mix, then bake as muffins! I keep this pancake mix ready to go in our pantry at all times; it’s so simple and doesn’t have any yucky ingredients in it 👏🏻 If you use gluten-free flour, it’s free from top 9 allergens, which you may or may not care about, but us egg-allergy mamas are always on the hunt for breakfast ideas. Sharing both the pancake mix recipe and muffin recipes below! These go FAST between the kids and my husband loves them too. The toddlers ate 24 muffins this morning 😵‍💫 Homemade Pancake Mix: -3 cups all purpose (or GF) flour -2 Tablespoons sugar (optional) -1.5 Tablespoons baking powder -1 teaspoon baking soda -1 teaspoon salt -Protein powder of choice (optional) 1. Combine all ingredients together in a bowl. 2. Mix 1-2 cups (depending on how many pancakes you want to make) with water. Adjust as needed for thicker/thinner pancakes. I just eyeball this, no clear measurements, sorry! You can use milk of choice for thicker pancakes. 3. Cook your pancakes on a hot skillet! 4. Store extra mix in a jar or container in your pantry. Sausage Pancake Muffins -Homemade Pancake Mix, 1-2 cups -Water or milk for pancake mix, roughly 1 cup or so -1 pound breakfast sausage -Water or milk of choice 1. Preheat oven to 350 and grease your muffin tins. I love to use mini muffin tins for this recipe! 2. Cook your breakfast sausage until it’s browned and crumbled. 3. While sausage is browning, combine pancake mix and water/milk in a large bowl to create your batter. 4. Add cooked sausage to pancake batter and stir everything to combine. 5. Pour batter mixture into muffin tins. 6. Bake at 350 for ~15 minutes for mini muffins and ~20-25 minutes for larger muffins. 7. Serve with syrup on the side for dipping! 😋 #kidsbreakfast #toddlerbreakfast #blwrecipes #allergenfriendly
