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.

Happy birthday to our 4-year-old, Hayes Reid!! 👦🏼💙🎂

I can’t believe what a big boy you are these days—bittersweet doesn’t begin to describe it. We are so proud of how kind, loving, smart, helpful and thoughtful you are. The best big brother, the happiest little boy we know and a friend to everyone. You’re my early-bird sunshine, always up and at ‘em, ready to take on the day with a big smile, and I hope that never changes! You teach us far more than we teach you and it’s a gift to be your parents. You make us proud. We love you so very much Hayes! 🤍

“Jack” is named after his great-grandfather, John Calvert, and shares the same middle name as his dad and grandpa, after his great-great-grandfather, Loren Wilkinson. 

We are on cloud 9 welcoming him into our family and thanking God for a healthy, wonderful baby to love and raise. Hayes and Hallie are just as smitten with Jack as we are! I couldn’t be more in love with this little family of ours 👶🏼🩵🙏🏻 

Welcome to the world, Jack! We love you so 🤍
