***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
If you’re a busy mom like me – wait, let me start over. If you’re like me and hate grocery shopping, then this week’s giveaway is totally up your aisle. I’ve learned to enjoy cooking, but the chore of making a list, bleeding money at the grocery store and then coming home to find you’ve forgotten the cardamom still drives us to take-out more than we’d like. So imagine my delight when You’ve Got Supper entered our lives.
YGS was started by two busy moms right here in Richmond (holla) and basically does your weekly recipe planning AND grocery list making for you (double holla). Just sign up for their free weekly email for five easy recipe suggestions. Pick the ones you want to make (or add others from their archive) and YGS automatically generates a complete, printable shopping list for you. Basically, my lifesaver. And this week they’re giving away $100 in groceries to one of our lucky readers who just might need some lifesaving in the kitchen too.
We’ve been using them for a while now, and just last week we made three of their meals that we never tried before: Honey Chicken Kebabs, One-Pot Pork Tenderloin and Crispy Potatoes and Creamy Dreamy Mac and Cheese. Here’s that mac and cheese making Burger wish he were human:

I WANT SUPPER!
Our favorite way to mix things up for dinner is to visit any of our family members that live nearby! Nothing like getting a free meal and enjoying time with loved ones!
jen says
I want supper! I love cooking a double recipe and then freezing the other half for another weeks dinner.
Chelsea says
I WANT SUPPER…Please! I’d rather have ‘ol ma do the cooking for supper any ‘ol night, rather than doing it myself. I think my hubby would agree too!
renee brown says
I WANT SUPPER!!!
I’m one of those nerds who does a menu and grocery list every week. I don’t enjoy it, but it’s better than standing in the kitchen at 5:30 with 2 very hungry and ornery teenage boys saying “I dunno, what do you want to eat?!”
Sometimes I will make a meal just out of things I can find in the fridge, freezer and pantry. A fun way to get creative and use up food!
Laura in LA says
I want supper! This is a great idea. I usually scan the local grocery store sale paper for ideas of things to make.
Albion Chrisman says
I WANT SUPPER
I like to mix things up at dinner by trying dishes my husband and I have never eaten/cooked before.
Amy says
I WANT SUPPER! I like to double some of my recipes and freeze some for later. We like to make double (or triple) batches of spaghetti sauce, taco/burrito meat, chili, meatloaf, BBQ, and soups. In fact, I think we’ll have chili from the freezer tonight!
Jennifer S. says
I WANT SUPPER!
I like to choose a recipe that my kids can help me cook. They are always more likely to eat something they made themselves.
Wendy D. says
I WANT SUPPER!
I like to use the steamer we rec’d as a wedding gift. It’s great bc no matter what kind of meat you have in the fridge, it can go in the steamer. We throw in sausages, chicken, fish, crab legs, etc. It also has other stackable containers so we can cook potatoes, rice and vegetables at the same time. After you turn it on, sit back and watch tv with a glass of wine. I think even Sherri could do this kind of cooking!
Christin says
I WANT SUPPER!!!
My hubby and my fave fall back for dinenr is brinner – breakfat for dinner. Be it waffles, pancakes, eggs and toast, or maybe quiche. We love brinner!
Ellen C says
I Want Supper!
I like anything I can make in advance, or anything someone else cooks. My hubby is a better cook than I am, but I do the grocery shopping, so we usually have to have a meeting of the minds every week or two.
Kassandra Harris says
I want supper! (yummy!) we mix up dinner at our house when I do the cooking. My sweety is primary chef in our house. Every once in a blue moon we do a switcharoo and I get to man the stove! When this happens who knows what you’ll be eating for dinner!!! :)
Renae says
I WANT SUPPER
Hubby and I love trying new dishes and added our own personal touch to the meal.
Meghan says
I WANT SUPPER, PLEASE!!!!!
I also hate to cook. I think it’s a combination of buying the groceries, inevitably forgetting something at the grocery store, wasting produce that I don’t use all of cooking for just me and my husband and one child, and the clean-up afterward.
However, I love it when I find a recipe that is easy to make, uses few ingredients, especially ones I can have on hand all the time and won’t go bad, and that my husband and I both like. It does feel nice to put a home-cooked meal on the table every once and awhile.
Kate says
I WANT SUPPER!!!!!
We really love the breakfast for dinner thing. Wonderful food is good any time of day!
Tasha says
I WANT SUPPER!
Okay, so after 5 minutes on that site I am already hooked. Why does it seem so much easier that it makes the grocery list for me?
I don’t get creative. I used to, before this new job of mine. I need something to fall in my lap. Like the way my mom will cook for my husband and I!
Kristy says
I WANT SUPPER!!!! We have a super tight budget here at our house so I shop the sales and cheaper grocery products. I mix things up (about once a month) with a ‘nice’ supper and bottle of wine.
Jess says
I want Supper!
My definition of mixing things up for dinner is having my husband cook dinner on his day off and have it ready for me when I get home! It’s a great mix up!
Lindsey says
I WANT SUPPER!
I bought a few Easy as 123 cookbooks from the checkout aisles at my local grocery store. I pick 5 out on Sunday and then make a grocery list and go shopping! Being prepared is tough but it makes the week that much easier!
Amy says
I WANT SUPPER! *PLEASE* ;o)
Thank you so much for sharing this website, as well. I HATE planning our menus and the ensuing grocery shopping mess. I am very excited to try this out!
seth says
I WANT SUPPER!
best way to mix it up is going to someone else’s house. everyone always has better desserts!
Lacey says
I WANT SUPPER!
Ever since we bought a stone for the oven we love making our own pizza when the craving hits! We keep the ingredients around and its cheap and delicious! Oh yeah… and I get to eat girly veggie pizza and the hubs gets to eat whatever manly/slighty disgusting combo of leftovers he pulls from the fridge and piles on!
Elida Rodriguez says
I WANT SUPPER!
I actually enjoy shopping for groceries….it’s the cooking part that gets me! My husband helps me in that department though! :)
Christina says
I WANT SUPPER and a good looking man to cook it for me ;)
Katie Tudini says
I WANT SUPPER
About once a month I like making “casserole surprise” basically using stuff we need to get rid of, im not good about “tasting” the food as i go so its definitely a REAL surprise when the timer goes off!
Amanda H. says
I WANT SUPPER! :)
Jessica Pieri says
I WANT SUPPER!!! I LOVE TO CREATE DIFFERENT FLAVORS IN ALL KINDS OF DISHES BY USING DIFFERENT SPICES OR CHEESES.
Brandi Reiland says
I WANT SUPPER :)
Me and my girlfriends do a once-monthly rotate house party. We all gather at a friends’ house each month and we all pitch in with dinner, wine, and we have a great time. Sometimes we dress up, other times we have a bonfire out back and carve pumpkins. It’s a way for us to stay in touch and see each other more often with our busy lives- after all, a girl’s gotta eat!
Janny A. says
I WANT SUPPER!
I like to do bkfast for dinner once a week, the kids love waffles or pancakes.
Hannah says
I WANT SUPPER
When you don’t know what you are hungry for, eggs and toast is always good.
Amy says
I want supper!
We have our old standbys we make every few weeks, but every so often I’ll whip out one of the numerous cookbooks received from our wedding and try something new.
Candice says
I WANT SUPPER!
I guess my way of changing things up is to do a grilled cheese and soup night. I know that doesn’t sound like anything special but my husband complains that I don’t make the same thing twice because I’m constantly trying new things. He loves the variety but sometimes wants things more often so with a grilled cheese he gets an old favorite and I can experiment with different soups. The best of both worlds I guess.
Meaghan says
I WANT SUPPER!!!
I mix it up by flipping open a cookbook randomly and making whatever is on that page for dinner :} It’s all good and fun until I accidentally open it up to chocolate cake or something…
Amanda says
I WANT SUPPER!
I use YGS too! It’s wonderful! We plan our meals out in advance so we always have something, and if that night we don’t want what we have on our menu, we have others to choose from since we have made a detailed menu!
Danielle says
I WANT SUPPER!
My hands down favorite way to mix things up is with chocolate chip or blueberry pancakes for dinner. YUM! You can’t mess this up and its super easy!
Jenni says
I WANT SUPPER! I think the best way to mix it up is to have my hubby try a new recipe! Sure beats having pasta with pesto or cereal every night, which is how I would probably ‘mix’ it up!!
Sarah says
I WANT SUPPER!
Grilled cheese sandwiches are our Sunday night staple.
Lauren says
I want supper!
I head to my parent’s house when I’m running low on ideas and energy! Otherwise I usually do omelets.
Allison says
I WANT SUPPER!
I love finding recipes on blogs. This is how I usually make my weekly grocery list, but I would love to have someone make it for me!
ChristineMarie says
I WANT SUPPER!
Brinner (breakfast for dinner) and soups have been really popular lately at our house. We make a lot of single dishes that don’t necessarily go together to make a unified meal, so when we’re organized enough to plan & make an entire meal, it’s a good night.
Tiki says
I WANT SUPPER!
I am in such a rut when it comes to making dinner, I could totally use the help.
Tovah says
I WANT SUPPER!
I use cooking magazines to make my menus and grocery lists. I just pick one magazine and then use it for two weeks worth of meals. Then after two weeks I pick a different magazine. I have a couple of years worth of simple and delicious and cooking for two so I just rotate through those. So that is how I keep from making the same thing over and over. Because otherwise it would pasta every night:)
Becca B. says
I WANT SUPPER!
We change things up by going out to eat once in a while. Chipotle!
Holly G says
I WANT SUPPER! I use the epicurious app on my iphone – always fun recipes!
Alicia says
I WANT SUPPER
I kid you not…I was just complaining about this very issue to my hubby last week!! I wished that there was a site/service that would plan out my menu for the week and tell me what I would need to buy to make it all happen…you have answered my prayer!!
To mix it up a bit I email a recipe to my hubby and ask my to get dinner started…he just loves that!!
tk says
I WANT SUPPER!!
Babs says
I WANT SUPPER!
My finacé and I sit down every Sunday and plan out what we’re in the mood for, and we make sure that we’re using at least one ingredient in each recipe with something that we already have in the house. It’s a fun challenge!
Melanie C. says
I want supper!!! Yo quiero la cena!
I am on Cooking Light all of the time. The recipes are super easy, super delish, healthy, and soooo fast (if you are in the quick and easy section).
Tracy says
I WANT SUPPER!
My boyfriend does the cooking!
When it’s up to me, supper is usually something A)Frozen that just needs to be heated, B)Something from a box, or C)Picked up on our way home from work. :)
