I am in LOVE with this idea! Unfortunately, It won’t direct me to the recipe when I click the link:(
Hi Hollie,
I checked the links and they seem to all be working. Could you help me understand which one you thought wasn’t working? Thanks!
I have also added a free feature to my site that lets you create your own shopping list with any meals you choose. Here is the link if that’s something you are interested in!
Great mass appeal recipe selection. I can’t believe I FINALLY found a recipe website with meals I’d actually want to eat. I’m so annoyed by all the high-brow or odd-ball ingredients recipes I find elsewhere. Thanks!
Thanks Matt! I’m glad you found us to. There are 45 pre-set meal plans (all free) and I have also just developed a new feature where you can save any recipe on my site to your own meal plan –which will then populate will all the ingredients that you will need to buy for every meal. It’s a great “free” feature as well. Enjoy!
I am thrilled to find this site and glean from your hard work and investment! Thanks for sharing your talent and looking forward to creating your delicious food!
I stumbled across this site when I was searching for meal plans and all I have to say is ‘WOW’. I am only on the second meal of Week 1 so far but both myself and my two picky little eaters are loving the recipes! I’ve been doubling them and using the leftovers for lunches the following day. The grocery list included is a huge life and time saver! Your website has been favourited in my browser and I hope you never stop posting these. You are amazing – Thank you!
There is no bigger compliment for me! I’m thrilled you found me and I hope you continue to love the recipes you try! I have some REALLY exciting updates to the meal plan coming in a few weeks, so stay tuned:-)!!
Hi Carrie,
I’ve just discovered your meal plans but I see they involve meat. Would you be able do meatless meal plans for us vegetarians out there?
Hi Khamani,
I am hoping to start doing a few vegetarian meal plans in the future! In the meantime, here are some of my favorite vegetarian meals:

My family LOVED this!!! Thanks for a phenomenal recipe to put in my rotation!!!
I adore you!!!! I just love that you are inspiring me to limit the processed junk coming into my house! Going to start with week one and work my way through them all! Is there a way to print all 5 recipes at once? I love that I can print shopping list easily from my phone !
Hi Carrie, Thanks so much, I hope you love all them meals. Unfortunately I don’t have a way to print all the recipes at once. It’s something I will look into. thanks for your comment and input 🙂
Thank you so much for this idea! I LOVE your website and every single recipe I have made is so delicious. Now that you have a meal plan it is even BETTER! I just printed my shopping list and ready to get items needed for next week. Will you continue to do this?
