Need help? Here are the answers to the most common questions we receive:
Getting Started
I just signed up. How do I get started?
For step-by-step instructions navigate to the “New? Start Here” tab from your dashboard. There, you’ll find a video walkthrough as well as screenshots and instructions for each function of your meal plan.
Watch these Quick Start tutorials to learn the basics of What’s for Dinner Meal Plans.
Meal Planner
How many meal plans do I have access to?
You will always see 4 meal plans in your dashboard. Every Friday, we upload a new one and cycle one out.
You can save a copy of any meal plan to your personal collection so that you have access to it even when it’s been removed from your main dashboard.
So, at a minimum you have access to 4 meal plans, but if you opt to save them each week, you will have access to all the meal plans that are shared from the day you join forward.
Can I customize the meal plans?
Absolutely! Remove any recipes you don’t like, add new ones from our collection or add your own custom recipe.
You can also adjust the number of servings for each individual recipe so if you have company coming one night, you can add extra servings for just that meal. Or, if your spouse is going out of town for work, you can adjust the servings down for the days your spouse is gone.
Recipes
Can I add my own recipes?
Yes! In your dashboard, select “My Favorite Recipes.” Then, under the Recipes heading, next to “Click to set name” click on the + and in the dropdown box, change “Search Recipes” to “Add Custom Recipe.”
Enter all recipe name, each ingredient, and the directions. The recipe is now stored in your personal collection and can be added to any meal plan.
Shopping List
Will the shopping list automatically adjust to accommodate changes in the meal plan?
Yes! The goal of What’s For Dinner! meal plans is to save you time and effort. Make whatever adjustments you need to the meal plan to create a version that’s perfect for you and our software will do all the work of compiling the shopping list to ensure you get everything you need.
Can I make changes to the shopping list?
You certainly can! Once the shopping list is generated, you can change amounts, add or remove items, and even rearrange items on the list.
Just click the “Edit Shopping List” icon (looks like a pencil writing on paper), then make whatever changes you want.
Account
How do I reset my password?
Just click on the “Account” tab in the top menu. Then, click the > next to “Change Password.”
How do I change the email address associated with my account?
Just click on the “Account” tab in the top menu. Then, update your email address in the “Email Address” field. Finally, click “Update Account.” This will update your email address for password resets, etc. but will NOT change your username. That will remain the same.
How do I cancel my account?
Simply go to your account page, then go to the “Subscriptions” tab. Click the “Cancel” link to the right of your subscription. Then, click “OK” on the pop-up.
Before you cancel, did you know you can pause your subscription instead? Pausing your subscription allows you to take a break without losing access to the meal plans and digital downloads you’ve already accumulated. This way, you can pick up right where you left off whenever you’re ready to resume. To pause your subscription, just click the “Pause” link next to your subscription instead of canceling.
