I am a busy mother of five who believes in home-cooked, nutritious, delicious meals--but it was a constant struggle to find the time!  The hardest part was finding time to think.  I was so exhausted with thumbing through the same old recipes trying to put together a menu plan and then a shopping list. 

The "Busy Mom Menus" have been a gift straight from heaven!!  Menu plans, shopping lists, and "helpful hints" (like a reminder to start marinating tomorrow's chicken TODAY!) have made it so much easier for me to be organized and prepared in the kitchen.  The recipes are straightforward, easy, and delicious. My husband is ecstatic. 

And the "time saving tips" really help too--what a great idea to have part of the meal "pre-prepared" in the freezer so dinner whips up quick after soccer practice or ballet rehearsal.  I love the variety--items for the grill, the crockpot, the stove top, etc. so I have the flexibility I need to still have something for dinner on those gone-all-afternoon days.  I have recommended Menus4Moms to all of my friends and family.  Thanks so much!

Have skyrocketing food prices got you down?

Have you ever gotten home from an expensive trip to the grocery store and realized you still don't have anything to make for dinner?

Have you tried to figure out where you can cut costs but just can't seem to find any extra in the budget?

Did you know that you can spend less money at the store and less time in the kitchen with one simple tool? In fact...

You can save up to 15 hours and $120 every month by shopping and cooking with a well-crafted menu plan every week.

Made exclusively for busy moms like you, the Busy Mom Menu is a weekly meal plan that takes your lifestyle into account. In addition to the weekly menus, I'll send you monthly bonuses on a variety of mom-related topics. The first bonus, a special on how to save money by using a whole chicken for several meals, will be sent immediately when you sign up!

Re: Busy Mom Menu weekly menu plans

Dear Busy Mom,

With food prices skyrocketing, moms everywhere are trying to save money wherever they can. Eating out is being replaced by eating at home, and buying prepared foods at the grocery store is being replaced by cooking from scratch. Unfortunately, that often means investing hours to make up for the money saved - time that most busy moms don't have.

5 Reasons why busy moms face mealtime frustration:

1. Eating out is becoming unaffordable, but working all day leaves you too tired to cook.
2.

Making a full meal from scratch can take up to 2 hours that you would rather spend doing something else.

3. Cooking means taking time each week to plan meals and make grocery lists on top of shopping and cooking.
4. It seems like you are always wasting food (and therefore money) throwing away leftovers that no one eats.
5. You may not like to cook, or you may feel like you are not a good cook.

So what's a busy mom to do? I'm glad you asked...

The easiest way to save time and money in the kitchen is to let someone else plan your meals for you. That's right! Using a menu plan is easier than planning meals yourself, saves more money, and saves you hours in time (both planning and cooking).

There are many benefits to using a menu planning service - but not all menu planning services are alike. Here's a look at the benefits of using the Busy Mom Menus...

1. We do all the planning for you. From the shopping list to determining the nutrition data, it's all done and sent to you by email. We even include Meal Makeovers and Substitutions for dishes that are heavy in fat or carbs.
2. We help you take advantage of grocery sales. Because we use ingredients cooked in bulk (like ground beef or chicken) you can use our menus and still take advantage of local sales.
3. Because the meals are already planned, you are less likely to eat out on impulse. Most eating out is a result of poor meal planning, so when you know what is for dinner each night you won't be tempted to go through the drive thru.
4. Leftovers are not wasted. Because we plan leftovers into the menus, you save money by not throwing food away.
5. The menus are affordable. You can save 10-20 times the cost of the menus by cooking at home and following our tips to take advantage of grocery savings.

Here is what one busy mom has to say about our menus...

I have been using the Busy Mom's Menu with the healthier modifications for 3 weeks now.  It is the best thing I have ever done.  I have been following the menus to a T and I wouldn't change a thing! 

It is so nice to print out my list and head to the store, since it is organized I am out of there in no time.  There has not been a single recipe we haven't liked.  Now, I won't lie, my pickiest eaters won't eat some of the veggies, but they do try them and some they have decided aren't so bad.  My two year old granddaughter eats everything!  I was stuck in such a rut of corn, potatoes or green beans for a side dish I would have never exposed them to these other great healthy foods.  I had never had many of them and just didn't know how to fix them or think we would eat them. 

By sticking to the menus we are trying a variety of new things and finding lots of new favorites.  My family loved the Chinese Cashew Chicken and the only problem was there wasn't enough for seconds!  My teenage son said "I have never tasted anything like that but it's really good."  I often take leftovers to work and have gotten several comments on my "gourmet" lunches.  I tell them all about your website and that they too could have such great food and it's EASY!  It is such a stress relief to KNOW every night when I come home what I am fixing for dinner and often it is already mostly ready. 

I have tried some other menus but after a week of every recipe containing "cream of chicken soup" yuck, I still can't stand the thought of it!  Menus for Moms is the absolute best and absolutely worth every penny!!  Thank you sooooo much!

Testimonial: Melanie R.

[I wanted to] send a HUGE thank you for what you have created here. I am a very busy mom of 1, so dinners in my house pre-Menus4Moms were literally mac and cheese, ramen or fast food. It broke my heart that whenever I asked "what do you want for dinner?" my son's response was always "Taco Bell/McDonalds/Wendy's". Since I signed up a few months ago my kitchen habits have completely changed! Now when I ask the question it's always "that chicken stuff you made the other day" or "Taco Bake". I'm so proud now that I can really provide balanced meals for my family.

I grew up in a non-cooking home so I never learned the basics, like how to use a slow cooker, or how to brown ground beef. The instructions on every menu are so simple, and I learn something new every week!!

So THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart, from my family to yours.

How much is it worth to you to save hours of time each month and possibly hundreds of dollars? The Busy Mom Menu is worth so much more than you actually pay...

The Busy Mom Menu only costs $7.95/month, but it can save you 10-20X that amount in food costs and hours of planning and cooking time.

Not sure menu planning is for you? Give us a try - you can get 2 weeks of Busy Mom Menus for only a penny. If you aren't completely satisfied, you can cancel at any time, including during the two week trial. In fact, if at any time during the membership you decide to cancel and don't get it done before the next billing cycle, I will refund the last month billed - just mention "Mary Ann's personal refund offer". My goal is your complete satisfaction.
