Hello! I’m so excited to announce that you can now create a custom meal plan and generate a grocery shopping list from my recipes! You can watch this video walkthrough of this tool, or just dive right in with the meal planner below!
Let’s get to meal planning!
There are two ways to add recipes to your meal plan:
- Click the calendar icon at the top of any individual recipe, and the recipe will be added to your meal plan -OR-
- Click “Meal Planner” in the top menu of my website to come to this page. You can then choose recipes from the dropdown menu right above the meal planner.

Today is my first day of using your website to plan my meals, and I seriously like THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. I’ve had a bit of a rough time, and this is helping me get myself back on my feet. This is a great tool for planning, financing, shopping, and trying delicious new foods. I so appreciate all of the effort you’ve put into this, and you then share it all with us!

I’m loving this idea – I’m so lost when it comes to meal planning! However, I’m having trouble with the actual mechanics of the calendar. When I clock add to calendar from a recipe, it goes through the motions but never shows up when I come back to the calendar. Also, if I stay on the calendar and add things from the search field, I can drag them where I want them just fine. But, when I leave the page to view a recipe and come back to the calendar, everything is gone! Am I doing something wrong?
Is it just me or is there only 1 red meat dish (with the sausage possibly?) for the whole week? I was under the impression for adequate iron levels red meat should be 3-4 x per week….. maybe thats just hearsay
Hi Reb! We typically think of red meat as the only or best way to get iron, but that’s actually not true! Legumes like beans and lentils, spinach and other leafy greens, nuts, whole grain wheat products, chicken, fish, and eggs are all sources of iron! Plus, many cereals and rice are now fortified. So there are plenty of ways to sneak iron in other than chowing down on cow.
This is fantastic! But when I click on a recipe, it just seems like it’s loading forever. It never pulls up the instructions.
Thank you for your sharing. Thanks to this article I can learn more things. Expand your knowledge and abilities. Actually the article is very practical. Thank you!
