A meal planner that gets better every week

Most meal-planning apps forget what happened last week. Sunday Reset Plan tries hard not to.

Every recipe in the system carries a quiet history: how many households have served it, when you last saw it, and how everyone rated it. That history is what makes plans feel less like generic recipe roulette and more like a planner that knows your family.

Thumbs-up matters more than you think

After the week is over, you can give any meal a thumbs-up or thumbs-down. Took ten seconds. Why bother?

Because every rating compounds. Rate three weeks of dinners and the planner has a much clearer picture of what your household actually eats versus what looked good on paper. Recipes you loved start appearing more often. Recipes you hated quietly disappear. The whole plan keeps drifting toward your real taste.

The fastest path to a plan that feels like yours is also the simplest: rate the meals.

Fair scoring for new recipes

A new recipe with one five-star vote does not deserve to beat a battle-tested dish with two hundred votes and a 4.2 average. We smooth ratings so brand-new recipes have to earn their reputation over time. A handful of upvotes does not catapult a one-off recipe to the top of the rotation. Two hundred ratings does. This protects the quality of what shows up on your plate.

No repeats this week

Hard rule: no recipe appears twice in the same week. The planner is not allowed to lean on the same crowd-pleaser five days in a row. Even if you love a dish, you get it once per plan, and a flagged "do not reuse" marker prevents next week from immediately repeating last week's dinners.

You can override this any time in chat — "we want pasta night every Tuesday" — but the default is to keep your week varied.

Submit your own recipes

If you have a family staple that has to be in rotation, add it. You can submit a recipe from the recipes page: title, ingredients, instructions, macros. It becomes part of your household's pool immediately and shows up in the planner's options the next time it builds a plan.

Every recipe you submit tracks its own usage count. If something you love is not getting served as often as you would like, check the numbers. Sometimes the macros are too far from your targets. Sometimes the kid notes are missing. Sometimes the recipe just needs a few thumbs-ups to climb the ranking. The data tells you which.

A simple shortcut for the recap

Forget to rate during the week? The Sunday recap email has a one-click row for every meal. Twenty seconds total. The planner uses what comes back to shape next week and beyond.

Why this matters

Cookbook authors spend years figuring out what their readers will love. We are doing the same thing for you — except instead of guessing what people in general like, we are listening to your household specifically. Every plan that arrives Saturday morning is sharper than the one before it, because you gave us three thumbs-ups and one thumbs-down. That is the whole loop.
