Meal planning outsourced.

Italian Wedding Soup by Olivia Mack McCool

Planning your family’s meals doesn’t have to be daunting or overly time consuming. As a trained chef, recipe developer, and tired Mom of two picky kids, I share your struggle! I am here to make your life easier when it comes to the dreaded "WHAT'S FOR DINNER?" dilemma.

The mental load of all the family-related tasks is overwhelming. Cook Up a Plan eliminates a big one: figuring out what to cook for dinner (that YOUR family might like), making the shopping lists, and planning ahead, all while keeping it fresh week after week.

My job is to figure out:

  • What to Make

    You get delicious, vetted, dinner recipes that I hand-pick for your family from various professionally tested and trusted sources

  • How to Make It

    You get tips, tricks, and shortcuts for making dinner prep easier, faster, and accommodating for your schedule and different tastes in the family

  • What to Buy

    You get a grocery list using your personal shopping preferences, including store-specific products that can be used for shortcuts, and using overlapping ingredients to minimize waste.

How it Works

  • Jessica synthesized the varying tastes and preferences of our family and managed to create a dynamic meal plan that was both fun to make and pleasing to almost everyone all the time -- which is considered a big win as a parent.

  • We loved working with Jessica on meal plans for our family. It was such a relief to not have to worry about what we were eating or what we needed to buy. The recipes she shared with us have become family favorites and are in heavy rotation!

  • With my many food allergies, and two working parents, meal planning is a must. Boxed meal kits and takeout aren’t an option, but finding recipes that meet our needs is challenging. Jessica’s menus accommodated all of my allergies and our family’s preferences. The meals were delicious, easy to put together, and added to our repertoire. I highly recommend her service especially for anyone with a restricted diet.
