Over the last couple of years I have had a few people ask me if I would make a menu for them that….(fill in the blank – didn’t include seafood, was for diabetics, only had meat 3X per week, didn’t include milk etc.)  My answer has always been “no” because frankly that is very time consuming. 

Well, I have finally given in and decided to offer this service to a FEW of you. 

Here is the scoop – this isn’t for everyone…  For one, it is not going to be super cheap for a couple reasons
A.) I don’t have time to do this for everyone, and if it was very inexpensive a ton of you would be signing up! 
B.) Did I mention this is very time consuming? 

What I am offering is a 6 week custom dinner menu that you can rotate throughout the year – that also includes grocery lists for each week.  This menu will be tailored to your specific needs.  (low-carb, no slow-cooker, low-fat, no mushrooms etc. – I’ll send you a brief survey to fill out.)  You will have the opportunity for up to 3 revisions so we can make it perfect for you!

Here are some options:
low-carb
diabetic
Weight Watchers
low-fat
low-sodium
no (fill in the blank for food dislikes or allergies)
family friendly
Vegetarian
Cooking for 2
(something else?  just ask!)

What I am not able to offer:
Vegan
Low-Glycemic
Kosher
Raw
(probably others I just don’t know enough about…  If I can’t fulfill your order I will of course provide a refund)

If you are interested in a custom menu – made just for you – by “The Menu Mom” I’m excited to make it for you!

Here’s the nitty gritty:

- Price:  $179
- Turn Around:  Please allow 10 days (You might have your 1st draft sooner!)
- This is something new for me on a TRIAL basis which means A.) I may never offer this again  B.)  The price may go up if it takes me longer for each menu than I estimated  C.)  I am only offering 5 spaces to start.  (And there are ~7000 people reading this)

If you have any questions, you can e-mail me.  If you’re ready to grab one of the spots, the link is below.

I just made a Facebook Page for Dine Without Whine, and I woud love to have you join as a fan! Should be fun! Oh, and of course we are on twitter too!

I have a (get this..) photo shoot tomorrow… taking pictures of (not me) food! I am partnering with a company in the coming days, and they picked two recipes that I need to cook and have professionally photographed for their printed flyer. I’m a bit nervous! Here’s hoping they turn out okay! So I’m off to do some prep for my morning cooking session in just a bit here. I have to take the food to the studio, so that could be a feat just in itself! We are doing the Glazed Pork Kabobs and Crunchy Cheesy Potatoes from recent menus.
