mxup.menu completely frees your brain from the repetitive burdensome choices of menu planning! Simply deal a menu whenever you need one. They won't always come out perfect, but the mental energy saved by skipping the decision making process makes editing seem like a reflex.
mxup.menu is a cookbook that makes sense at the pace of modern family life. It helped our family to share the joy and shed the burden of dinner time. It widely expanded the variety of delicious foods we enjoy on regular basis. These meals are curated to be simple and yummy, not artful and arduous. We hope you will try them all and develop a repertoire of fresh food your whole family can enjoy.
If you, like me, have ever felt like the dud at the potluck, try the Cilantro Chicken. Five ingredients, five minutes to prep, and five hours in the slow cooker is all it will take to wipe away the memory of even the worst store-bought potato salad. mxup.menu meals are meant to be shared, not just online, but with your real friends, in your real life. When somebody loves the food you share with them, the QR code on every recipe card makes it a cinch for them to get the recipe and try it out.

Whether it's our kids, our spouses, our roommates, or ourselves, nearly everyone needs to learn something in the kitchen. Children, and non-cooking adults, can be lacking even basic cooking skills. For the cooking adult, the challenge is often juggling planning, prepping, shopping, and the stress of being responsible for the whole kitchen environment. mxup.menu will help those who avoid the kitchen to learn confident mastery of a variety of dishes. Start with the easiest recipes on the green cards, and work your way up. For those that run the kitchen, mxup.menu can help open tough discussions about sharing adult responsibilities, or teaching life skills to children in a fun, cooperative, hands-on way. And especially for those who run the kitchen, but don't feel confident doing so, mxup.menu can empower you with its color coded recipes, its focus on practicality and simplicity, and it's manageable number of recipes. 52 recipes in a deck, 52 weeks in a year. This is definitely not a coincidence.
Food waste is epidemic throughout the developed world. It's simply too easy toss something into the shopping cart because it looks yummy, or because maybe this week we really will eat that bag of greens. Meal planning has reduced our family's food waste by well over half, and I am confident mxup.menu can do the same for your family. The more barriers we remove between ourselves and our kitchens, the more deliberate and economical our food shopping becomes. Add to that the reduced impulse to eat out, order in, and microwave junk food, and we are confident mxup.menu will pay for itself several times over in the first year alone.
