Can We Lend You A Hand Feeding Your Family?

While you truly desire to cook nutritious & delicious meals for your family; you might just not have the time between work inside or outside of the home, shuttling kids, homework, evening committee meetings etc. We get that!

If you had a choice between grabbing processed fast food yet again or serving your family a balanced, home-cooked meal, which would you pick? Most of us, deep down, would prefer to have the ability to prepare a home-cooked meal. But there are many obstacles – we know!

What if I told you that you can prepare that home-cooked meal and save time and money over the so called “Fast Food” option? Menu Planning allows you to do just that. It ensures that you have the ingredients you need in the house to whip up a delicious and nutritious meal in less time than it takes you to decide which drive-thru or takeout restaurant to visit and then wait in line for your food.

But who has time to sit down to find recipes, make a menu plan and the grocery list to go along with it? Let us do it for you!

Feeding Your Family Has Never Been This Easy!

sf5795Hi, my name is Christine Steendahl, and I am known as “The Menu Mom”. I, together with my team, sit down and come up with not one, but 4 different types of menus each month. Each of these weekly menus comes complete with recipes and categorized grocery lists that make grocery shopping fast and simple.


  • Family Friendly Menu
    Every month we provide 4 weekly menus that everyone in the family is sure to love. Not only do you receive 7 dinner recipes complete with side dishes, but also 2 weekend brunch recipes and 2 dessert recipes. Each menu comes complete with the recipes for each dish and a weekly grocery list.
  • Healthy Menu
    Whether you’re watching your weight, are dealing with a health issue that requires you to eat healthy, or just want to feel better, this healthy menu is just what you’ve been looking for. In our program each month you get 4 weeks worth of healthy dinner ideas along with healthy sides. Of course recipes and weekly grocery lists are included.
  • Vegetarian Menu
    Does your family stick to a vegetarian diet? Then this menu is for you! With 4 weeks worth of vegetarian recipes each and of course a categorized grocery list for each week your veggie family will have very happy tummies!
  • Frugal Menu
    Are you on a tight budget? Our frugal menus help you feed your family for less, as you keep your grocery bill in check. Each month we include 4 weeks worth of frugal menus along with the corresponding grocery lists.

Inside Menu Planning Central you will find 4 weekly menus of each of these four options. That’s a total of 16 weekly menus complete with recipes and shopping lists to choose from.

But that’s not all…

You can even include breakfast and lunch recipes in your custom menu if you would like.

Just imagine having a menu that you know everyone in your family will love! No more complaining or whining when it’s time to sit down for dinner. Instead you get to enjoy your family’s happy faces as they devour what you have prepared.
