Geared toward families who enjoy cooking, Faithful Dinners is designed to cut out the stress and uncertainty of planning a week's worth of meals. The new dinner-planning service provides you with meal plans, recipes, and a grocery list. The Web site also offers a daily scoop - like, "Eggs will be fluffier if you allow them to reach room temperature before beating" - as well as a list of essentials for the well-stocked pantry. Their Web site will soon feature tips on food and wine pairing.
How it Works: Faithful Dinners is a membership based dinner planning service. Members receive access to the Faithful Dinners menu-planning site, which publishes 10 - 15 menu ideas and recipes for entree and side items each week, along with a grocery list for the items you've chosen and a step-by-step recipe guide. Faithful Dinners also gives you a virtual "Recipe Box" where you can store your favorite recipes and access them anytime, even after they are no longer available on the weekly menu.
This service doesn't actually provide you with the food and is therefore less expensive than the other services, with monthly memberships starting at $7.95.
LEXINGTON HERALD LEADER - Sept. 21, 2008
What's for dinner? She can help you figure it out
This is one those new businesses that you look at and say, "Wow, what a great idea. I wish I had thought of that."
Faith Hacker of Lexington came up with the idea for a menu planning subscriptions service that provides weekly meal plans, recipes and shopping lists.
She started Faithful Dinners after months of providing recipes and menu ideas to friends who couldn't believe her family of four ate regular dinners together at home while juggling school, work, and ball schedules.
"A friend suggested that I do a Web site. I started doing some investigation and found a real need for this service," Hacker said. "Either we're stuck in the same old routine of spaghetti on Monday and tacos on Tuesday, or we think we don't have time and it's just easier to drive through somewhere. Or, we want to cook and just don't know how to put it together."
Faithful Dinners offers a variety of new entree and side selections each week, and once the selections are made, a categorized grocery list is generated. A subscription is $7.95 a month or $49.95 a year. Go to www.faithfuldinners.com.
