Making it easier to get dinner on the table
Cheerful Meals
Keep your recipes in one place, create a meal plan with one button click, and get a ready-to-go shopping list you don’t have to write out yourself.
Dinner shouldn’t take up this much space in your head.
Most nights the hard part isn’t the cooking… It’s standing in the kitchen at 5 PM trying to remember what to make while everyone’s complaining they’re starving.
I built Cheerful Meals because I wanted to plan out meals my family actually likes and buy groceries I’d actually use but didn’t want to go through the hassle of finding my recipes and making a consolidated shopping list.
Not to mention, even on weeks when I did plan things out, I couldn’t remember what day I was planning which meal and sometimes I’d use ingredients I was supposed to save for another meal.
Now, I don’t have to stress about any of that. Everything is in one place with built-in reminders to help me stay on track (without having to keep it all in my head).
What the app does
Your recipes, all in one place
Save the recipes you actually like and want to cook. Plus, edit and save any changes to make the recipe perfect for your family.
Plan the week in a few minutes
Press “Plan my week” to use your recipes to make a meal plan. Rearrange or replace anything that doesn’t work for that week.
A stress-free shopping list
Once your plan is ready, tap “build from plan” to get a complete, consolidated grocery list. Easily organize items by where you buy them and mark what you typically have available at home.
It remembers what you made
Each time you make a recipe simply tap “made this” and the app records the date. That way you’re not having the same thing over and over, and you don’t have to wonder how old your leftovers are.
Give it a try
Add your email address to set up an account. Add a couple of recipes, plan out the week, and build your shopping list. Add more recipes over time and stop feeling anxious every time 5 PM rolls around. Dinner is already figured out!
