Portion sizes

Each person counts as a share of an adult portion. Change the numbers to fit your family: a hungry teen might be 1.5, a small eater 0.5.

Food to avoid

These hide recipes in the library and in Shuffle. Always read labels yourself: products and recipes change.

Homemade and homegrown Make from scratch when I can

Bread, tortillas, pasta, butter, stock and more: see the from-scratch recipes. Each item on the shopping list also has its own Make it button.

From your garden

Shuffle rulesDon't repeat a meal within

For lunches and dinners. Breakfasts and snacks only avoid repeating two days in a row.

Busy days (quick dinners, 30 minutes or less)

Everything here stays in this browser (nothing is sent anywhere). Nutrition numbers are estimates from USDA FoodData Central and change with brands and portions. Cook meats to the USDA safe minimum internal temperatures given in each recipe. See the kitchen guides for cooking fats, cinnamon and more, the from-scratch recipes, and the Food Garden Planner for growing your own.
