Why is it called the Kick Butt Dinner Club?
We kick butt, and take names, in 3 ways:
First, it empowers parents to feel like they are absolutely kicking butt when making dinner. We take dinner prep from a "TOP 3" adult stressor to a quikc & easy daily opportunity. With easy recipes, a system for getting them on the table, and a "pocket nutrition coach" to tell them why the food is nourishing, parents feel amazing about providing dinner night after night.
Second, my dinner recipes support active families and athletes with powerful, specific nutrients. Adequate protein, greens galore, and super sauces that flood the body with nutrients, energize, and prevent disease. We teach kids that foods *literally* impact the body, from head to toe, so they can kick butt at whatever activity they choose.
Third, it's hard to really feel "Kick Butt" if your mental game is in the garbage. Regular, family dinners support mental health for everyone involved, but it can be tough to do it night after night. The Kick Butt Kitchen Dinner System is the tool you need. Complete shopping list (you can get the whole month's shopping done in less than an hour!), menu & recipes every month & week to reduce adult stress and supportive, family dinners to bolster kids' and teens' mental health.
My mission is to support parents and families who want to take back dinner. Those who want to teach their kids that meals are important, both for nutrition and connection. If you want a literal cheat sheet to get it done, join us! There's no risk, you'll save many multiples of the cost to join, you can cancel at any time. Start today!
For example - here's what you'd learn & be able to tell your family about tonight's dinner. *This* is how we kick butt:
Kick Butt Kitchen Tip - Mango:
Don't shop by color — mango ripeness is all about feel, not how red or yellow the skin is. A ripe mango gives slightly when you press it, like a ripe peach, and smells sweet and fragrant near the stem end. Rock hard means it needs a few days on the counter; mushy means it's past it. Organic is worth it here — mangoes appear on the Clean Fifteen, so conventional is actually fine from a pesticide standpoint, but organic options are increasingly available at good prices so grab them when it makes sense. Frozen mango is a legitimate power move — picked and frozen at peak ripeness, it retains full nutrition, costs less, and is ready to go straight into smoothies, salsas, and bowls without any prep.
Just How Kick Butt is This Ingredient? It Takes Names.
Mango is an absolute powerhouse fruit, that tastes like a treat — which makes it one of the easiest nutritional wins for kids who think they're getting dessert. One cup delivers nearly 70% of your daily vitamin C for immune defense and collagen production, plus a strong hit of vitamin A from beta-carotene for eye health and skin repair. Mangoes contain a unique digestive enzyme called amylase that helps break down carbohydrates and supports smooth digestion — great for active kids with high-carb diets. The antioxidants, including mangiferin, are linked to reduced inflammation and immune support. Bottom line: mango is a vibrant, anti-inflammatory, digestion-supporting fruit that earns its place in smoothies, salsas, grain bowls, and snack plates — and your kids will fight over it, which is the best nutrition win of all.
