Meet Gabby...she makes the "we" in Dinner Diva's!

Hi There!

My name is Gabby Love. First and foremost I love Jesus! He has blessed me indeed! I have been married to a wonderful man, Joe, for 8 ½ years, we have four precious children, 3 girls and 1 boy. Hoping for as many as the Lord will trust us with ;)  We homeschool our children, and that has blessed us more than we ever thought possible.  We are so busy living life, and well…. having school, doing chores, going to church, going to activities, ect..  it’s hard to get dinner on the table.  The Dinner Divas Meal Class has become my way of providing my family very tasty, healthy meals in a flash. I think we can all agree EVERYONE is busy, this time in our lives everyone has gone crazy busy!

Dinner Divas has also been extremely budget friendly. We are currently trying to pay off all our debt (from over 5 years ago, UGH). This has saved us almost $300-$400 a month, compared to what we were spending eating out.  (I had 3 babies in a 3 year time period, needless to say, I was tired and my sweet husband took us out to eat a lot!) I have always loved to cook, but now with all the kiddos, I don’t have as much time to spend on providing a big dinner every night. Now I pull out a freezer meal almost every morning and there is a healthy hot dinner by the time my husband walks in the door, (well most nights).

I enjoy so much coming up with some of the recipes for Dinner Divas, and preparing for the classes brings my family so much joy. We want to help you. Help you provide the best for your family. And being at home eating together is the best!!! Let us bless you, so you can bless your family or a family in need. These meals are also great to make for a new mama, or someone who has been in the hospital or ill.

Thank you for visiting Dinner Divas. Gabby Love

Dinner at our house...

Just a picture of what we will be having for dinner tonight: Mexicali Chicken Potatoes!

How much will my meals REALLY cost me??

This is a very common question we get.  Let me give you an answer! 

For my family of 10 people, I use the full bags (full bags feed 8-10).  So, that would cost me $40 for 10 bags ($4 a bag).  I spent $56.76 on meats/tortellini/stew veggies for October.  My total is $96.76 for 10 meals...less than $10 a bag for TEN people!  I don't normally make extravagant side dishes, so on average, I spend about $5-$7 on sides.  That is $15-$17 dollars for an entire meal...a really GOOD meal...for 10 people.  ($1.50-$1.70 per person...can't buy a Happy Meal for that!)

10 full bags       $40
Meat/extras      $57 (approximately)
Sides                $50-$70
Total                $147-$167 (10 meals/8-10 people)

For my family, that is what we would spend on dinners out, 2-3 times. 

Totally worth the cost for me...how about you?

Welcome to Dinner Diva's of Oklahoma

Hello Ladies!

We are very excited to share Dinner Diva Meal classes with you on our new blog! Facebook cannot be trusted, so we needed a more dependent place to post information that you are not going to want to miss. We will still be posting to Facebook, but here as well.

With that being said, let me introduce myself. My name is Tracy Phillips. I am the wife of Patrick, homeschooling mama to 8 here on this earth and one sweet little boy in Heaven. It seems like I am always trying to figure out how to make this life of mine easier. Not because I'm lazy...well, yeah, that too...but really because I don't want to miss out on my family and life around me because I'm stuck doing chores!

The concept of Dinner Diva's is really not new, we have just tweaked it to be affordable and easy enough that all of our friends could benefit from it as well. And in the beginning, this idea was only going to benefit a few friends of mine. God must have seen a much bigger need than I did at the time! Our first month, we fed about 30 families. We now feed well over 100 families each month and are still growing!

While this has turned into a mini business, our main goal is ministry. We want to minister to the busy mom's and wives out there, just like us!

So, invite your busy friends and allow us to worry about your meals!
