I’m not a great cook. There.  I said it.  Oh, it’s not that what I do make tastes awful or anything.  I can just never figure out what to make.  I spend half an hour before dinner each day staring in  the fridge (hoping something will jump out at me?)…then wandering to the pantry and staring intently at the shelves before wandering back to the fridge.

I’ve tried those meal planning calendars where you write down what you’re having each day, but I still struggle with that.  I lack the inspiration.  Even flipping through my numerous recipe books often results in a hastily prepared casserole because I lack the ingredients for anything better.

Enter Dine Without Whine. Founder Christine Steendahl has created a meal planning service especially for parents with kids.  No fancy, impossible ingredients that you’ve never heard of, let alone know how to prepare.  You get good, wholesome meals, and your family isn’t forced to eat Kraft Dinner for the third night in a row because you’re too exhausted to come up with anything better (not that that has EVER happened at my house… nope…never)

Every week, Dine Without Whine, emails you, not only a menu and recipes, but a full shopping list.  Doesn’t get any easier.

If you’re like me, you’ve checked out other menu planning services. But when I get to their sample menus my inner monologue sounds a bit like “Wouldn’t eat it, wouldn’t eat it, DEFINTELY wouldn’t eat it, don’t know what the hell that is, ummm, yeah, I guess that one might be OK”

So when I checked out the sample menus for Dine Without Whine, I was pleasantly surprised.  There was not one meal on there I wouldn’t make.  Seriously.

Here’s the best part.  Christine is offering one lucky BlogHer@Home attendee a LIFETIME membership to Dine Without Whine.

Yeah.  Lifetime.  As in, FREE FOREVER.  As in, you’re going to be the Mom that all the other kids want as their mom because you make the best meals.
