What’s for Dinner?
February 23rd, 2010 by BloggerYou guys hear me talk constantly about being a busy, nutty, crazy, insane working Mom. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve come home from a 8-9-10 hour workday and think..what am I going to do for dinner tonight. MAMA is tired!!!
It’s time for all busy moms to take charge of the dinner hour. No more wondering what’s for dinner every night! No more take-out meals on a whim! Instead, moms around town should unite and get organized. Check out this cool idea I discovered that I guarantee will change your life.
An awesome service founded by local mom, Dawn Billesbach, is helping moms across the county do just that! Dawn founded MenuForTheWeek.com, a company that sends email subscribers a week’s worth of easy-to-make and delicious recipes so the meal planning is made easy. She also sends subscribers a complete grocery list too! Moms will know exactly what groceries to buy and what to make every night of the week. Ingenious!
To give you an idea of why I am such a big fan, Dawn has provided a free recipe for the Mom’s in the Mix blog. If you like this, you’ll love all her wonderful recipe ideas and easy-to-make meals - all which will surely please the entire family’s palate.
Also, you can sign up for a free week of meal ideas and grocery planning at www.MenuForTheWeek.com. Happy eating everyone!
