    Nice to meet you!

    Iโ€™m Marjory, the writer, recipe developer, and photographer behind the scenes.

    I'm a mom to two amazing girls. And, I also owned two make-ahead meal stores back in the day, which helped busy families prepare delicious and healthy dinners for an entire monthโ€ฆthatโ€™s how I got the name Dinner-Mom!

    My Story: Make-Ahead Meal Kitchens

    Are you familiar with the concept? People would flock to these kitchens to assemble and freeze dinners for a month.

    Long story short, my husband and I built two stores from the ground up. I love this concept, and it was very helpful for our family and many others in our community.

    It was very gratifying to learn about people's dinner challenges, and I had the privilege of helping thousands of customers at our stores make and modify recipes.

    I created Dinner-Mom to capture the popular we used. It's expanded to include all types of easy dinner strategies, from 30-minute meals to easy prep/hands-off recipes.

    I'm a foodie at heart... but my motto is: Spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying delicious dinners with your family.

    I want meals to be easy, healthy, and filled with happy memories.

    Philosophy

    Crowd your diet with good food and eat healthy 80% of the time. Eat intuitively and enjoy what you eat.

    Healthy means different things to different people. So I provide as much information as possible so you can modify recipes and choose what's best for your family.

    You'll mostly find lower-carb, whole foods on this site, along with a few indulgences.

    Our popular South Beach Diet Phase 1 Recipes collection showcases our keto-friendly options that meet the strictest requirements. For example, they don't include fruit, sugar, or grains.
