Give the Gift of Meal Planning this Mother’s Day – or WIN IT!

Jump to Comments

Champagne, jewelry and flowers are mother’s day gift ideas created by television advertisers. They are lovely, but aren’t what most hard-working mothers really want. Instead, we would kill for hugs without protest, an opportunity to pee all by ourselves and a few moments of peace and quiet.

Time for reality – Most of us would like a gift that offers us some extra time to ourselves each day; a break from thinking so hard. We want someone to just tell us what to buy at the market and how to turn it into a simple family meal. We want fewer arguments at the table about who has to eat what, and how many bites are required to get dessert.

Guess What? There IS just such a gift.  What’s Cooking Weekly offers weekly menus, recipes, grocery lists, nutrition information and tips on what the kids can do to help make dinner…5 nights a week! And it recommends healthy and seasonal ingredients, not chemicals that are disguised as food!

Want to try it? Why not try to WIN a free subscription for 6 months. Simply comment here about a good food or cooking memory that you have with your children. The winner will be chosen at random on the day after Mother’s Day.

In the meantime, What’s Cooking Weekly makes a fantastic gift for Mother’s Day – a valuable gift that includes peace of mind, organization, and tips on spending quality time with your kids in the kitchen and around the table.

  • My son is 18 months, too little to really participate in cooking. But he’s quite the observer and we’ve caught him trying to “cook” his own dinner.

    When I put his bowl in front of him, before he takes a bite, he shakes his (leak-proof) sippy cup over it and then gives it a good stir. I was baffled by this odd routine, until my partner pointed out, “He’s doing what we do- we add something, stir it up, and *then* eat it.”

    Pretty clever for little guy, I thought.

  • Thanks for the great comment, Elizabeth! It is amazing how much our children learn from watching us. All the more reason to have them in the kitchen at our side :-)

    Let me know if you would like a month trial of What’s Cooking Weekly – I appreciate your comments!
