Allergies and strict avoidances are checked before anything else.

Recipes that conflict with your saved allergies or strict avoidances are removed before time, budget, equipment, nutrition, pantry items, or past favorites are considered. Always check product labels and cross-contact information before cooking.

Straight answers

Before you set the table.

How does the site choose meals for me?

Your saved allergies and strict avoidances are checked first. From there, suggestions can take your available time, budget, equipment, nutrition goals, pantry, ratings, and past choices into account. The goal is simple: fewer irrelevant options and a shorter path to something you actually want to cook.

Can I add an allergy that is not on the common list?

Yes. Add any ingredient or term you need to avoid in your saved food rules. We’ll use it when screening recipes, but you should still check package labels and cross-contact information before cooking.

Is this only for dinner?

No. You can browse breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack recipes, from quick 15-minute ideas to slow-cooker meals. Free weekly planning includes dinner; Plus can plan breakfast and lunch too.
