Less Stress, More Yum

Plan your week’s meals and assign cooking duties with ease.

Why Meal Planning Matters for Families

Because figuring out "what’s for dinner?" shouldn’t ruin your afternoon.

Meal planning reduces stress, saves money, cuts waste — and helps your family eat better, together.

How It Works

✅ Create and Save Weekly Meal Plans

Plan out breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks by day — and save your favorite plans to reuse.

✅ Add Recipes and Notes

Include full recipes, cooking times, or special instructions so you’re not scrambling at 5pm.

✅ Sync With Your Shopping List

Add ingredients to your Shared Shopping List with one tap — no more double entry.

✅ Share With the Whole Family

Let others see what’s planned (and what’s cooking) — or assign meals to other cooks.
