Get access to the proven system developed by a Certified Nutrition Coach and mom of 5
Let me guess...
-
You start the day with good intentions… but by 4 PM, you're mentally tapped and scrolling through DoorDash like it holds the meaning of life
-
You could cook something healthy… if only you didn’t have a toddler clinging to your leg, a tween asking for a snack, and a kitchen that looks like a war zone
-
You're the one doing the shopping, the cooking, the cleaning… and somehow still the only one getting all the complaints
- You scroll past dinner ideas on Instagram thinking, “Must be nice,” while reheating chicken nuggets for the third time this week
YOU'RE NOT FAILING—YOU JUST NEED A LITTLE BIT OF GUIDANCE
Dinner isn't just about the food...
It’s about juggling everyone’s preferences, energy levels, and moods.
It’s being the unofficial head chef, grocery strategist, time manager, and family nutritionist—all before 6 PM.
Dinner is supposed to be the part of the day where everyone reconnects…
But instead, you’re overstimulated, sweating over a stove, refereeing arguments, and trying not to snap when someone says, “I don’t like this.”
You’re not trying to be fancy. You just want meals that work. A routine that doesn’t burn you out.
Dinner Development 101 isn't just about what's on the plate.
It's about giving you your sanity back—while teaching your family how to show up, help out, and actually enjoy dinner together.
Imagine this!
YOU SNAP YOUR FINGERS, AND...
You don't dread 5:00 pm every day because you already know what’s for dinner—you have a plan that's realistic, flexible, and made by you, for your real life.
Instead of your kids whining, “What is this??” They’re actually trying new foods—and even helping cook them.
You’ve got a system that works for everybody (even your picky one), so you’re not making three separate meals just to keep the peace.
Dinner feels… doable. Like you’re not just surviving the chaos, but you’re low-key winning at it
Does this sound like you?
I help my clients with these same problems every single day.
And if you're like any of them, you've probably made some of the same mistakes.
Mistakes like...
"I'm too busy to cook"
Look, I get it. You’re juggling laundry, tantrums, dentist appointments, and maybe even a job or side hustle.
It feels like homemade meals are a fantasy reserved for Pinterest moms and people with personal chefs.
Here’s the truth:
With the right systems in place, cooking at home doesn’t have to be a full-time job. It can be doable, fast, and dare I say… kind of fun?
"Meals need to be elaborate and perfect"
There’s more pressure than ever to make dinner look like it came out of a food stylist’s photo shoot—meanwhile you’re just trying to keep the pasta from boiling over.
Here's the truth:
Stressing about perfect meals only makes dinner harder. You’re not cooking for a magazine—you’re feeding real people who are probably asking for ketchup anyway.
Fancy doesn’t equal better.
"My kids won't eat what I cook, so why even try?"
You know the drill—you try something new, your child melts down, and suddenly dinner feels like a 10x harder challenge than it should be.
Here's the truth:
Kids need to see new foods 10–15 times before they might be open to trying it without a meltdown.
Every single “no” is just a tiny (sometimes stubborn) step forward.
And guess what? With the right know-how and patience, you can help your picky eaters expand their menus without losing your mind.
The course built not just for moms, but picky kids too
YOU DON'T HAVE TO RACK YOUR BRAIN (OR NERVES) TO GET DINNER ON THE TABLE EACH NIGHT, EVEN WITH TINY FOOD TERRORISTS
If dinnertime feels like a battle zone, you’re not alone—and you’re not doing it wrong.
The truth is, a lot of moms throw in the towel on home-cooked meals not because they’re lazy or unmotivated, but because they’re tired of the whining, the gagging, the dramatic performances over green things.
Dinner Development 101 is built with your whole family in mind—including your culinary critics. Inside the course, you’ll learn practical, judgment-free strategies that help kids learn to eat a wider variety of foods over time—without power struggles, guilt, or short-order cooking.
I’ll teach you:
- The Division of Responsibility – so you know exactly what your job is at dinner (and what it isn’t)
- The Side Dish Strategy – a super simple way to make one meal work for everyone—even your chicken nugget purist
- Smart food exposure – how to introduce new foods strategically and repeatedly, so kids build comfort and familiarity
- Lifelong habits – tools to help your kids develop a healthy relationship with food that lasts well into adulthood
NO MORE DINNER STANDOFFS
You’ll walk away with the confidence to serve meals that work for your family—and support your child’s development without turning dinner into a nightly battle.
Because yes, it’s totally possible to feed your kids well... without losing your mind.
End the picky eating madness today!

Hey! I'm Dayna
I’m a Certified Nutrition Coach who teaches moms how to use food to nurture their family’s health, connection, and happiness—one dinner at a time.
I am a wife and mom to five awesome kids and too many chickens (to my husband's dismay). You can usually catch me in the garden or chauffeuring my kids around to 1.5 million different activities.
YOU CAN MAKE DINNER TIME WORK FOR YOUR FAMILY
We all know that moms run the show inside and outside of the home. When dinner is easier for moms, the whole family wins—stronger bodies, calmer evenings, and way more connection around the table.
I want to show you how you can make dinnertime easier and use it to build stronger bonds with your family.
The same month the world shut down in 2020, I earned my nutrition certification. While everyone was panic-buying pasta and toilet paper, I was deep in my kitchen—trying to make sense of how to feed my family of 7 without losing my mind.
It wasn’t easy.
Like you, I was tired of the daily dinner scramble, tired of picky eaters, and so over feeling like feeding my family well had to drain my soul each night.
So I took what I learned, experimented (a lot), and built simple systems that made dinner easer, healthier, and most importantly, more family-oriented.
And they worked. Really well.
So well that other moms started asking me how I was doing it. That’s when I realized:
It’s not just about the food. It’s about giving moms a foundation, with flexible, real-life systems that empower them to feed their families with confidence.
Dinner Development 101 was born out of that mission—to help you feel like an expert on your own family when it comes to food and connection.
If you’re ready to stop dreading 5 p.m., join the program that teaches you how to make a dinner plan that actually works for your family's life!
Join Dinner Development 101Inside Dinner Development 101, you'll get:
8 no-fluff lessons that walk you through the exact system I use to plan, prep, and cook for a real-life family (even with picky eaters and chaotic evenings).
The Rotation Personalization System—Say goodbye to the black hole of saved Pinterest boards. I’ll show you how to sort, tag, and store recipes like a boss—so you always know what’s for dinner.
My 4 signature prep methods—Learn how to Align, Batch Cook, Cook in Components, and Base Cook—so you can spend less time in the kitchen and still get dinner on the table.
Family involvement tools—Get your people involved with printable tools like "Who's Cooking?", age-appropriate kitchen jobs, and after-dinner routines that ease your mental load.
Meal rotation + customization tools—Create a flexible rotation of meals your family loves without getting bored, burned out, or becoming a human vending machine.
Plus you'll get access to a handy workbook to record your progress, access to our Facebook group, and infographics that show you how to make meals even healthier.
What's inside Dinner Development 101?
LET'S BREAK DOWN WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THE PROGRAM
LESSON #1
Introduction
Just like you can't build a stable house without a proper foundation, you can't build long-lasting health skills without learning the basics of planning and developing meals.
In Lesson 1, you'll get an introduction to the course and learn about building key health practices that will give you the capacity to plan and prepare meals that fit into your life.
LESSON #2
Visualize
You can’t plan a dang thing if you don’t know what you’re aiming for.
In this lesson, we ditch the guesswork and get crystal clear on your version of dinner success. You’ll create a rock-solid Meal Manifesto—aka your guiding light for every "what's for dinner?" moment ahead.
It’s time to get picky (in a good way) about what you want your meals to look like, feel like, and do for your family.
LESSON #3
Prioritize
Let’s be real—if your kitchen is a chaotic mess of expired sauces and mystery Tupperware, it’s not helping you crush your health goals.
In this lesson, you’ll learn how to take stock of what’s helping you thrive and what’s just taking up space (emotionally and physically). We’re talking a full-on kitchen glow-up that aligns with your Meal Manifesto.
Because an organized kitchen isn’t just pretty—it’s powerful.
LESSON #4
Categorize
Say goodbye to endless Pinterest scrolling and half-used cookbooks collecting dust.
In this lesson, you’ll learn how to use my signature Rotation Personalization System—aka the magic formula for turning a pile of recipes into a go-to meal rotation that actually works for your family’s unique tastes (yes, even your picky eater who "doesn't like food touching").
You’ll also get access to my favorite organizing tools: a plug-and-play spreadsheet, plus a Trello board that’ll make you feel like the CEO of your kitchen.
Because let’s be honest—spending 30 minutes hunting down a recipe just to have your kids groan at it? We don’t have time for that.
LESSON #5
Personalize
Let’s make your meal rotation actually yours—not something you copied and pasted from someone else’s highlight reel.
In this lesson, I’ll show you how to find fresh inspiration (without drowning in recipe tabs), and how to implement those meals into your regular routine without stress or second-guessing.
Plus, if you've got a picky eater who acts like broccoli is a personal attack—I’ve got you. This lesson will give you clear, realistic strategies to help everyone, even your picky eater, enjoy dinnertime again (including when you're trying something new).
This lesson is a game changer for family peace and food sanity.
LESSON #6
Strategize
Half of the dinner struggle is just finding the time to make it.
In this lesson, I’m handing you my top time-saving secrets to help you stop running on fumes and start cooking smarter—not longer. You’ll learn my four powerhouse prep methods that work with your schedule, not against it:
-
Aligning – match your ingredients together to reduce time and waste
-
Cooking in Components – think mix-and-match magic with minimal effort
-
Base Cooking – your pantry staples just got a glow-up
-
Batch Cooking – cook once, use twice (or more)
I’ll even show you an actual calendar with real-life meals using these exact strategies—because this isn’t theory, it’s real mom-life-tested.
LESSON #7
Compromise
Let’s face it: making dinner is just the opening act. The real circus starts when it’s time to get the kids to sit, eat like humans, and (gasp) help clean up.
In this lesson, we’re shifting the dinner dynamic. You’ll learn how to get the whole crew—yes, even the picky toddler and the moody tween—involved in the full dinner process: prep and cleanup.
To keep the chaos in check, you’ll get 3 game-changing charts:
-
Who’s Cooking? – so you’re not the default chef every night
-
Children’s Cooking Tasks (By Age) – finally, age-appropriate help that actually helps
-
After Dinner Jobs – because "I forgot" isn't an excuse anymore
You’ll go from solo dinner warrior to team captain—with backup. 🙌
LESSON #8
Analyze
You’ve put in the work—now let’s make sure it’s actually working.
In this final lesson, we’ll look at how to actually evaluate your progress (no shame spirals here) and figure out the next right step—because reaching your goal isn’t about giant leaps, it’s about doable, sustainable moves forward.
You’ll learn how to:
-
Break your goals into bite-sized, stress-free steps
-
Take action today, not "someday"
-
Adjust without starting over (hallelujah)
If you’re someone who loves making goals but rarely sees them through… this lesson is your no-nonsense wake-up call—with grace, of course.
Designed for busy moms
Dinner Development 101 is completely self-paced, which means you can binge it nap-time style or take it one bite-sized lesson at a time—whatever works for your chaotic schedule.
Most videos within the lessons are under 25 minutes (because ain’t nobody got time for hour-long lectures), and you’ll find natural pauses so you can stop, reflect, and jump back in when real life gives you a second.

This is for you if...
✅ You’re completely over stressing about what to cook every night—and just want meals that fit your real life (without the drama).
✅ You’ve heard about meal rotations but have no clue how to start without turning into a short-order cook.
✅ You want to make healthier choices—but you’re not about to toss everything you own and go full quinoa
✅ You’ve tried new recipes (with hope!)… only to get soul-crushing “ewws” and untouched plates in return.
✅ You’re craving a system—like, a real one—that helps you create meals your family will actually eat (in less time and with way less stress).
Who is this program not for?
❌ You’re hoping for a generic, pre-made meal plan that ignores your family’s schedule, preferences, and reality.
❌ You’d rather keep scrolling Facebook groups for random advice than get actual strategies from someone who knows what they’re doing.
❌ You have no interest in building a flexible, go-to meal rotation your family actually enjoys.
❌ You secretly love the chaos and would rather stay stuck in dinner stress than take action.
❌ You’re cool with winging it every night, throwing meals together in a panic, and praying it works out.
