– A new menu planning service, Dine Without Whine, has won the
Parent to Parent Adding Wisdom Award.
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.”
