CEO/Publisher, Christine Steendahl, says, "We are thrilled that we have been recognized by the incredible Parent to Parent Adding Wisdom Award. Helping families eliminate the dinner hour stress and bringing back the sit-down family dinner with ease and joy, is certainly ‘adding wisdom’ in households across the nation -- it‘s refreshing to be recognized for our goals.”

As busy parents struggle to balance work responsibilities, children’s schedules and family time, often healthy home cooked meals are replaced with frequent fast food restaurant visits. Yet, with childhood obesity and adult health problems on the rise, many parents are left scrambling for ways to quickly and easily provide a nutritious alternative.

Dine Without Whine, an online weekly menu planning service, inspires moms to promote parental engagement in children’s lives, which can be done through an uncomplicated dinner. Each week members receive a detailed menu with simple family friendly recipes delivered straight to their email box. Hectic parents can easily prepare the meals and picky family members will likely enjoy.

Every issue includes daily dinner recipes with side dish recommendations, two brunch recipes and two dessert recipes. Included is a detailed shopping list that is organized by aisle…making weekly shopping trips a breeze.

Studies have found that kids who eat dinner regularly at home with their parents are more likely to have higher intakes of essential nutrients and vitamins.  Additionally, research shows children fair better in classroom settings as well as in social interactions. Stressful situations were less intimidating, i.e., handling homework, classroom participation, verbal reports, and even bullies.  With Dine Without Whine this can be obtained even in families where mothers are working.

“Our customers rave about the recipes, the positive effects of eating together again, and are ecstatic everyone is eating healthy,” says Steendahl. “We listen very carefully to our customer…that’s part of our success. I am just an ordinary mom, with a passion to help other families save time, money and enjoy quality time together.”
