In your weekly plan, you will see four suggested recipes. Some recipes include a recommended side dish to pair with it. Each recipe in the weekly menu has been specifically chosen to include similar ingredients to reduce food waste and grocery costs. However, we want this meal plan to be customizable for your family and your taste preferences, so we have added the option to swap out recipes or add additional meal options.

If you want to swap out a recipe, click on the red “x” button at the top right corner of the recipe. Then click, “Add Recipe” on the left side of the date.
You will be taken to a page that lists all of the recipes that fit into your meal plan. You can filter these by difficulty level, recipe category, and special diet. To select a recipe to add to your weekly plan, click the red “+ to Plan” button.

Access to this meal plan never expires so you can visit as often as you’d like.
