Contestant's Case to Win

This is based on the number of votes received.
We would love to be considered for the Leading Moms in Business Competition!

We are 6 very dedicated moms who formed a cooking group 7 years ago in hopes of eliminating the stress of preparing dinner for our families every night. What started out as a cooking group evolved into a business idea that has now gone nationwide! Like most moms we do the very best we can to juggle being a mom, a wife, an entrepreneur, a volunteer at our childrens school, a faithful servant at our local church, and the list goes on. A few of us have also had the responsibility of bringing in income through a 2nd full time job on top of working to build Hot by 6 full time. Thankfully, through many long nights, we have now found ourselves to be in 40+ states and rapidly growing!

We want to extend a sincere thank you to all of the Hot by 6 members out there that are continuing to help our business grow!

Sherwood, Oregon – With fuel and grocery prices hitting record highs, people are scrambling to find ways to absorb the extra costs into their family budgets. Six (6) local moms came up with a unique money saving solution by helping families prepare delicious meals economically through their Hot by 6 Membership. Browse their delicious recipes, create your own personal meal plans to fit your family’s food preferences, print categorized grocery lists, and much more all at the click of a button. By making dinners the Hot by 6 way, you will reduce unnecessary trips to the grocery store and save money by purchasing items in bulk. Best of all you will be creating more opportunities to have homemade family dinners. Cindy, Deanne, Karlene, Mary, Lisa and Rachael encourage you all to have “Dinner hot on the table by 6:00.”

The Hot by 6 Story:

Hot by 6 was founded by six (6) moms who were overwhelmed with fitting in a home cooked family meal every night. Trying to make dinner happen using our mother’s generation’s techniques doesn't work in the 21st Century. You don't have hours to look at cookbooks, select menus, and create shopping lists, let alone take an hour every night to prepare dinner. In fact most nights you don't have 5 minutes. But what if you could click a button and have the hard part done for you? They set out to create a unique time and money saving solution to help other families accomplish this daily task more efficiently.

It’s the first of its kind with a group feature - you can use it as a group as well as individually. You use fresh ingredients to prepare meals using an assembly line approach, resulting in several meals that are ready to freeze and use throughout the month. By assembling from home you have control over price and quality. Their easy to use online software does the hard part for you. They designed their product with the idea that we all have different needs but share a common goal, to get dinner hot on the table by 6:00.
