Plan to Eat is a meal planning website that allows you to add and organize recipes, drag those recipes onto a calendar to plan them, and our software automatically creates your shopping list based on your planned recipes.

Why you should use Plan to Eat
I love using Plan to Eat! I have used this web-based tool since October 2017 and recommend it to anyone who cooks, clips recipes, meal plans, and shops for ingredients for your favorite recipes.
Plan to Eat is great for people who meal plan for a whole week or just one meal at a time. After adding your recipes to the calendar and scaling them for the number of servings, a shopping list is automatically created with the precise quantities of ingredients that you will need to buy for your meals. I am not a weekly meal planner, but I do love cooking on weekends, and for events and holidays. This software works great for me!
Features I love
The software is feature rich and works well on your computer, tablet, and phone. The features I personally find most useful are:
- Clipping new recipes I find on the internet with one click.
- Adding and organizing my own recipes that are scattered around on index cards, in files, and stuck inside cookbooks.
- Sharing recipes with my family and friends.
- Meal planning on the Plan to Eat calendar.
- Automatically scaling my recipe ingredients for a planned meal or event.
- Shopping using the list and quantities of ingredients for only the recipes I have added and scaled on the calendar.
- Using the Cooking View on my tablet to guide me through the recipe.
- Sharing my recipes in Plan to Eat on AmazingAsianFood.com.
One of my favorite things to do with Plan to Eat is impromptu meal planning. Driving home from work, I stop at the grocery store to “pick something up for dinner”. While in the parking lot, I open my Plan to Eat app on my phone, add the recipes I want to eat to my dinner calendar for tonight, scale the recipes, and head into the store with my shopping list in hand!
Gone are the days when I forget to buy that one important ingredient, and have to go back to the store again. This is why I have even added a list of ingredients for meals I know by heart into Plan to Eat! Want to try a new recipe tonight? Do a quick internet search, clip it, add it to your calendar, open your shopping list and your ready to go!
