Hi reader,
When I first told my meal planning students about 30 Minute Dinners, they went crazy!!
| | | | They also had REALLY good questions and I thought I'd share them with you… just in case you had questions about 30 Minute Dinners too!
1) Who exactly is 30 Minute Dinners for?
Generally speaking, most home chefs fit into one of three groups.
The first group are those who consider themselves "experts" at cooking healthy dinner quickly.
They've been doing it for decades and feel like they've got a good thing going.
If you're part of this group and you're not concerned about saving time or streamlining your efforts, then you may not feel the need to join 30 Minute Dinners.
(However, you're absolutely welcome to join and be part of the fun!)
The second group are those who consider themselves "beginners" at cooking healthy dinner quickly.
They've heard of a few tricks and perhaps even tried some of them once or twice. However, they are SERIOUS about mastering this skill and making progress.
If you're in this group, you're going to LOVE the detail of this membership and how everything is laid out step-by-step. You'll be able to connect with other like-minded members, learn simple techniques to get ahead and stay ahead, and you'll see the fruit of your efforts right away.

The third group are those who consider themselves "intermediates" at cooking healthy dinner quickly.
They've been doing it (perhaps on and off) for a while, but feel like they're missing something or know they could be doing it better.
If you're in this group, you'll also love how the meal plans are laid out for you step-by-step, so all you have to do is follow it when you cook.
Plus, you'll be able to use the more advanced techniques and strategies that allow you to really streamline your efforts, spend less time in the kitchen, AND keep up with it each week without getting overwhelmed.
If you're in the second or third group, 30 Minute Dinners was tailor-made for you. :)
2) When does registration close?
Registration for our Winter enrollment period closes Tuesday, January 5, 2021 at 11:59pm PST.
3) When does enrollment re-open?
We're still working on when registration will open again, but it won't be until Spring 2021 at the earliest.

4) What are my payment options?
We have two tiers - PLANS and NINJA - and you can see the monthly pricing for each on this page.
If you choose to pay yearly, you get two months free!
5) Remind me again - what's the difference between PLANS and NINJA?
PLANS was created for those who just want meal plans. Every monthly meal plan package includes:
- Four 30 Minute Meal Plans. Five fast, family-friendly dinners for every week of the month.
- Step-by-step Cooking Instructions. What to cook and when, for every meal in the plan.
- Weekly Meal Prep Ideas. If you happen to have a spare hour to get ahead, here's how to use it.
- Kitchen Appliance Hacks. How to make dinner this week hands-free as often as possible.
- Shopping List. Get everything you need, and nothing you don't, in one quick organized trip.
NINJA was created for those who are serious about saving time and becoming efficient in the kitchen. The NINJA's goal is to get it and get out, before anyone knew she was gone in the first place. We accomplish that with the same monthly meal plan package that PLANS gets, but NINJA also includes:
- Video Training Toolkits. A specially curated selection of recipe videos SHOWING you kitchen hacks and proven time-saving techniques to help you cook faster and become more efficient in the kitchen. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth 1.8 million!
- Live Cooking Demonstrations. Cook alongside me LIVE every month as we go behind the scenes into what it REALLY looks like to cook dinner in 30 minutes or less. This interactive time allows me to share tips and tricks for working quickly in the kitchen, and you can ask questions and get answers along the way - all in real time! (Don't worry - replays will be available!)
- Real-life Resource Guides. Ever wonder how to make dinner with just a blender? Or how to substitute if you run out of a certain spice? Or how you can cook dinner quickly while hosting company, or while on vacation? Our monthly resource guides are designed for REAL-LIFE situations that catch us off guard and throw us for a loop. Instead of panicking and calling for take-out, learn how to plan for the "just in cases" and come out the other side confident in your kitchen skills with dinner on the table!
- Cook Fast Community. In our private, 30 Minute Dinner Ninjas-only community, you can share ideas, get feedback, and connect with other passion-driven home cooks. Iron sharpens iron, and what better way to become a faster cook than learn from those who are in this with you! Best of all, you'll feed off the progress others are making!

6) If I buy monthly now, can I switch to annual to save money, later?
Yes - you switch to annual payments at any time.
7) If I choose PLANS now, can I upgrade to NINJA later?
Yes - you can upgrade to the NINJA membership at any time.
8) Are these downloadable or printable plans and recipes?
Both - the meal plans are downloadable files, so you can either print what you need OR transfer them to a mobile device to use while you're cooking.
9) How many people do these meal plans feed?
The recipes are geared towards the average family of 4 (usually with some leftovers). At the NINJA level, we've included specific resources on how to modify recipes for smaller and larger families.
10) I have meat-and-potato hearty eaters - will the recipes work for us?
Yes! We're not in the business of feeding you bird food. ;)
Every meal plan includes suggested side dishes that can also be made in the same 30 minute time span. As I mentioned, NINJAs also get specific resources on how to modify recipes for hearty eaters. (They'll be filed under the REAL-LIFE RESOURCES section inside the membership).
11) Do the meals have a decent amount of veggies? I am *trying* to get to a plant based lifestyle, but am still miles away.
Yes! Every meal includes vegetables, and every month includes vegetarian and/or vegan meal plans.
12) Are there different dietary options?
Yes! All of our meal plans are easily adaptable for gluten-free and dairy-free lifestyles. As the membership grows, we hope to add other dietary options like AIP, Keto, etc.
13) How is 30 Minute Dinners different from your courses Meal Planning Bootcamp and Grocery Budget Bootcamp?
Grocery Budget Bootcamp and Meal Planning Bootcamp are both courses, where I teach you how to do something from start to finish (how to eat real food affordably, and how to meal plan, respectively). Both courses have a start and end date.
30 Minute Dinners is a membership where each month you get new content every month. The goal of this membership is to show you how to become more efficient in the kitchen, and in turn, a faster cook. We do that through all of the bullet points above (video tutorials, done-for-you meal plans and shopping lists, live cooking demonstrations, cheat sheets and real-life hacks, and a community with your fellow members).
30 Minute Dinners doesn't have an end - rather each month we aim to get better and better. And each month, you get more done-for-you 30 minute meal plans!
14) What if my shopping options are limited? (i.e. no Costco or other mainstream stores)
No problem! Our meal plans are created using ingredients you can find at the average grocery store.
15) Where do I go to sign up?

PS - If you haven't heard of 30 Minute Dinners, it's okay! I created this monthly membership earlier this year to help families get a healthy dinner on the table quickly and it hasn't been open to the public until now!
You can learn more about 30 Minute Dinners on this page, and I'm always available via email for questions. Just remember that Winter registration closes on Tuesday, January 5, 20201, so don't wait to join. Let's cross off a few New Year resolutions together, and save time in the process!
