What is myDinnerPlan?

myDinnerPlan is a web app for household dinner planning. You save recipes, plan the week, collect who is eating, and build a shopping list from the plan. It does not sell or deliver food or meal kits — unlike HelloFresh or Blue Apron, you keep your own groceries and your own kitchen.

How do you use myDinnerPlan?

Create a free account, add recipes (or use the public recipe library), put dinners on the week, and — on Basic or Pro — generate a shopping list and share the plan with your household. You can plan by hand or auto-generate a varied week.

Does myDinnerPlan have built-in recipes?

Yes. There is a shared public recipe library you can cook from on day one. You can also type your own family meals. You do not have to start from a blank library.

How do I import recipes? Can I upload a CSV?

Type a recipe by hand on Free. Basic can paste recipe text and turn it into ingredients and steps. Pro can import from a recipe URL and bulk-upload CSV, Paprika, Copy Me That, or JSON-LD. There is no TikTok, Instagram, or photo import yet.

What does myDinnerPlan cost?

Free is $0 with no credit card and up to 7 upcoming meals planned by hand. Basic is $3.99/month or $39/year. Pro is $6.99/month or $59/year. New Pro subscribers can start a 7-day trial (card required). Prices are on the public pricing page.

Is there a promo code?

There is no standing public promo code. Occasional codes may appear in optional product emails or in your account. One code per checkout. See the Promotion Terms page.

Does it auto-generate meals or only plan by hand?

Both. Free is manual only. Basic and Pro can auto-generate and quick-pick a week from your library (and the public library). Pro adds pantry-first planning, filters, and theme nights.

Is there a mobile app?

myDinnerPlan is an installable web app. Add it to your home screen from any browser in two taps. No app store needed, and it works offline once installed.
