How it works

From “What are we eating?” to a plan and a grocery list.

Step 1

Add your recipes

Type a recipe, paste a website link or copied text, or upload a recipe photo. The options available depend on your subscription.

Moving from another recipe app? Your account’s Owner can upload a supported export file. You see how many recipes fit before adding them.

  • Search your saved recipes and mark favorites to find them again.
  • Change ingredients or instructions before saving.
  • Only people in your household account can see your recipes.

Step 2

Pick your dinners

Choose a recipe for each day. Or choose Fill dinners to fill empty dinner spots in the week, from today onward. It uses saved dinner recipes marked Published (ready to plan). Meals and notes you already added stay put.

It picks a different recipe for each spot and skips recipes already planned that week. If you have too few recipes, some spots stay empty. You can change a meal afterward or undo the fill.

For just one meal, use Pick a random recipe. You can narrow the choices by meal type or protein, then check the choice before saving.

Five open nights. Five dinners chosen.

Fill dinners picks from recipes you saved. Meals you already chose stay in place.

Step 3

Shop from your grocery list

Recipes on a shared meal plan add their ingredients to your grocery list, grouped by type. Change a meal and the list updates. Things you add yourself and items you checked off stay on the list.

Set your usual shopping day. Each list covers the meals you shop for on that trip, even across two weeks. Meals on a private plan stay off the shared list.
