Change or move a dinner

On the Calendar, tap the day. Then tap Change meal to pick something else from your cookbook, Move to put it on another day, or Ask me to ask the planner for something different.

Steps

  1. Tap Calendar, then tap the day.
  2. Pick one:
    • Change meal opens your cookbook. Pick the dinner you want instead.
    • Move, then pick a day. If that day has a dinner, the two swap. You can also hold a dinner and drag it to another day.
    • Ask me opens that week's chat. Ask for the change, then tap Finalize plan to save it.
    • Night off: see Take a night off, or order takeout.
  3. Changed your mind after Change meal? Tap Never mind on the message that follows.

Does the grocery list change?

  • Change meal: it asks What should we do with the groceries? about the old dinner. Remove ingredients from shopping list takes its things off and brings the grocery list up to date. On the menu for next week moves the old dinner to next week instead.
  • Move: no. It's the same dinners on different days.
  • Ask me: yes. Once you finalize the change, that week's grocery list updates to match. Anything you've already checked off stays checked.

Good to know

  • You can change tonight's dinner or any dinner still to come. A dinner you've checked off as made stays where it is.
  • The chat changes only what you ask about and leaves the rest of the week alone.
