HOW IT WORKS

---

6 Dinners is built to be simple, flexible, and realistic, because real life doesn’t follow a perfect schedule.

Each week, we publish a dinner plan that includes six dinners designed to work for most households with minimal planning and prep. The meals are intentionally approachable and meant to reduce the mental load of deciding what to cook.

Each dinner is designed to serve four people.

• Cooking for one?
  We recommend cutting the recipe in half and saving the second portion for lunch the next day.
   
• Cooking for two?
  Make the full recipe and enjoy the leftovers for lunch. Many people find this makes weekday meals even easier.
   

Most of the dinners are chosen with leftovers in mind. When a recipe doesn’t reheat well, we’ll clearly note that — though those are the exception, not the rule.

There’s no required order and no pressure to cook every meal exactly as written.

• Swap nights around
   
• Skip a dinner if plans change
   
• Double a meal you know your household loves
   
• Lean on leftovers when you need a break
   

The plan is meant to support your week, not control it.

Each week includes a downloadable PDF with:

• Full recipes
   
• A complete grocery list
   

You can print it, save it, or keep it on your phone — whatever works best for you.

6 Dinners isn’t about cooking perfectly or trying something new every night.
It’s about having a plan you can rely on — so dinner feels manageable, even on busy weeks.
