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.

Maybe one day, our Christmas tree will look “perfect” with beautiful ribbon and perfectly placed ornaments, all coordinated and sparkly. Right now, it’s hand-made, craft ornaments placed too close together on the bottom branches. Shatter-proof bobbles that can withstand being dropped countless times or hold up against a wild football. Cheap Amazon ribbon that gets moved around every day with sticky toddler fingers. Ornaments that don’t require me to yell or worry about playing too close to the tree. One day, we might have a “perfect” tree, when my children are too cool to decorate the tree with mom or they have trees of their own and it’s just me decorating in a quiet house. When I don’t have little hands hanging ornaments with me. To me, this tree is absolutely perfect, it’s simply stunning. I’m confident that the Christmas trees we have in these years will be the ones I treasure the most. Things I think about every time I look at our wonderful tree ❤️
Had a very special day with my best girl, Hallie 🩷🩰❄️🎄 🎀✨ Hopefully the first of an annual girls Nutcracker tradition for us! Hallie is very much in her “no me picture” phase, it was pouring rain all day and I think she enjoyed applying mama’s lipgloss for an hour in the theater more than anything, but she nodded along to the music, ooo’d and ahh’d at all the right moments and made it to intermission! 😂 A day that she probably won’t remember, but sweet memories for me that filled my cup 🙏🏻 so lucky and thankful to be this girl’s mama!
Wow so many messages requesting the allergen-friendly sugar cookie recipe!! Decided to post on the feed for a permanent, easy-to-find spot this Christmas season (or all year)! Do these taste like Pillsbury? No. Do they taste good and will be fun to decorate? Yes! I was so touched by the messages requesting the recipe out of consideration for friends who have allergy kiddos. Being an allergy parent is HARD; if you’re one, you know what I’m talking about with no explanation needed. When family and friends go out of their way to accommodate food allergies, it truly moves me to tears. It’s a gesture we never expect of others, but something that means the world to us. So to those mamas who messaged me thinking of their friends (and there were many), your friendship and thoughtfulness is a blessing to others 🤎 Allergen-Friendly Sugar Cookies Prep 20 minutes Bake 8 minutes per batch This recipe made 50 cookies, half it for less 😂 1 cup dairy and soy free butter (I use @earthbalance ), softened 1.5 cups sugar 3 flax eggs (I use @bobsredmill Egg Replacer) 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 4.5 cups 1:1 gluten-free flour (I use @bobsredmill ) 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1. Preheat oven to 350 and line baking sheets with parchment paper. 2. In a stand mixer or with hand mixer and large bowl, beat butter and sugar. 3. Add in flax eggs and beat to combine. Stir in vanilla. 4. Next, add all the dry ingredients and mix to combine. Do the flour a cup or two at a time so you don’t make a mess! 5. Flour your countertop or work surface and roll out dough to be about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out your favorite shapes or do circles! 6. Place cut cookies on lined baking sheet and bake for 6-8 minutes depending on thickness. Don’t let them brown or they’ll be crunchy!
