About this wheel

Spin the wheel to pick what to cook tonight. It holds 24 home-cooked meals that suit a weeknight, such as pasta, chili, sheet-pan chicken and baked potatoes, and each meal has an equal slice.

This wheel is for cooking at home. If you are deciding what to order or where to eat out, the Food wheel covers takeaway and restaurant choices instead. Use this one to plan the week, to give kids a say in dinner, or to end the nightly question of what is for dinner. Leftovers night is on the wheel too.

Edit the list box to match what is in your fridge and what your family eats, one meal per line. Delete anything you do not want to cook and give favourites a weight from 2x to 5x. Choose Remove winner and spin five times to plan Monday to Friday with no repeated meals. Save to My Wheels keeps your list in this browser.

Questions

How do I plan a school week of dinners?

Choose Remove winner and spin five times. You get five different meals for Monday to Friday, and they leave the wheel as they come up.

How is this different from the Food wheel?

This wheel holds 24 meals you cook at home on a weeknight. The Food wheel holds 30 dishes and cuisines for deciding what to eat out or order in.

Can the kids choose?

Yes. Let each child spin once a week. Delete any meal that nobody will eat first, so the result is always one the family accepts.

Can I add my own recipes?

Yes. Type each meal on a new line in the list box, up to 500 lines. Save to My Wheels keeps your edited copy in this browser.
