About

I am a wife, mother, blogger, menu planner, and food lover (eater not cooker). I created this service to help busy moms like me get dinner on the table quickly, and easily so we can finally ditch the need for those unhealthy drive-thru dinners!

The idea came to me back in the Fall of 2010 when we were eating yet another greasy $29.00 dinner out of a paper sack. We were all tired of fast food dinners, but that was the best I could do on a busy weeknight.  Fast food was a staple in our diet out of pure necessity to keep everyone fed in the short amount of time I had between hockey, volleyball, tutoring… you know that constant on-the-go, “how in the world am I going to feed these people” mode. The struggle is real!

I began experimenting and searching to find a way to feed my family nutritional home-cooked meals but being totally transparent here, I do not like to cook. There, I said it……. that felt good. I know we are “supposed” to prepare meals the way our mothers and grandmothers did but I didn’t have the time they did or the energy.  

Years ago when my kids were very small, I did large freezer batch cooking and I knew I liked the concept but again, it was too time-consuming so I found a way to streamline that concept to make it more manageable and doable.  I could squeeze in the 45 minutes to 1 hour a week to get this done if it would save me 3-4 hours the rest of the week.  That was a trade-off I was willing to make. Not to mention, my wallet got a break from all the fast food and take-out. I was SAVING money and TIME! This was huge for my family. Life-changing!

After many weeks and months of trial, error, tweaking, and more tweaking, I came up with a system for a healthy, fast meal prep that worked and it worked so well I started blogging about it. We now have over 77,000 people in our Facebook Community and over 1 million followers on Facebook sharing photos, tips, ideas, and encouragement to others that are looking for dinner-time solutions.
