This tool has transformed what used to be a burden into a simple, quick and easy task I can tackle in less than 30 minutes on the weekend – including building my online grocery order for the week’s pick-up! Now that my kids are teenagers, time is even more precious and Plan to Eat has allowed me to capture just a bit of that back each week. I can’t imagine trying to plan, shop, and cook meals for my family without it!
The Origin Story
Plan to Eat is the tool we wished for.
With a growing family, Lisa Bounds wanted to eat out less and cook at home more. She started meal planning with pen and paper, and a stack of recipe books. It helped her family eat at home more and save money on food, but meal planning was time-consuming.
Her husband, Clint, tried to find a digital solution to make meal planning easier, but in the early 2000s, nothing existed. So Clint, a designer and web developer, set out to create a digital meal-planning program for his wife.
In 2008, Lisa’s pen-and-paper process was transformed into a website, and the first iteration of Plan to Eat was born. Clint quit his full-time job to work exclusively on Plan to Eat and since then, the program has helped thousands of meal planners simplify their planning process.

Plan to Eat is a powerful tool to make meal planning as painless as possible using your family’s favorite recipes. One of my favorite things to do is plan a meal on the fly when I see a bargain while shopping. Plan To Eat lives on the home screen of my phone – prime real estate!
The Bottom Line
Plan to Eat brings order to chaos.
With Plan to Eat, your bookmarked recipes, the kitchen whiteboard, and a scribbled shopping list are transformed into a single, meal planning system you can trust.
Recipe Clipper
Our Recipe Clipper allows you to gather all your recipes together in your digital recipe book and organize them how you like.
Planning Calendar
The meal planning calendar lets you plan ahead for any length of time, save meal plans to reuse in the future and add notes to remind yourself of the other events and obligations in your life.
Automated Shopping List
But the very best part of Plan to Eat is the automated shopping list. When you add recipes to your calendar, the shopping list will automatically populate an organized list of ingredients you need to buy.
You can add to and refine this list as much as you want, so you buy all the ingredients for your recipes, and any other household items you also need.
