    The Dinner-Mom Mission

    Collage Pin with text that says Make Dinner easy, healthy, fun.

    We create easy, healthy, carb-conscious recipes that the whole family will enjoy. Our recipes:

    1. Are tasty and tested.
    2. Minimize hands-on cooking and clean-up time.
    3. Are lower in carbs because we limit the use of sugar and refined ingredients.
    4. Celebrate seasons and occasions, and strive to add something unexpected so every meal is joyful and fun!

    Nice to meet you!

    I’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 dinners for an entire month…that’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.

    I love this concept, and it was very helpful for our family. I've lived with picky eaters (mac and cheese, please) and food allergies (including peanuts, eggs, and dairy.) Plus, I'm carb-conscious and my husband is a hearty eater.

    Long story short, my husband and I built two stores from the ground up. It was very gratifying to learn about people's dinner challenges, and I had the privilege of helping thousands of customers at our stores.

    I created Dinner-Mom to capture the popular freezer recipes 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.

    I generally enjoy low-carb, whole foods so that's what you'll find throughout The Dinner-Mom site. Our popular South Beach Diet Phase 1 Recipes collection showcases our keto-friendly options.
