Plan to Eat is the best app for sharing family recipes with your kids after they grow up and leave the house because of the fully customizable recipe book and friends feature.
Where do you store your family recipes?
Many families still store their favorite recipes in binders or old cookbooks, but then it’s hard to share those recipes with your children as they age and move out on their own. Storing all your recipes in one digital recipe book means they’re easy to find and share. And converting your recipes into a digital format means they won’t get lost or damaged over time.
How Plan to Eat makes recipe sharing easy.
To start, you can add all your favorite recipes as well as your family’s heirloom recipes into the Plan to Eat app. With the text scanning feature, you can scan in your cookbook and handwritten recipes, so you never lose any of Grandma’s secret recipes.
Once you’ve curated your recipe book, you can tag and organize your recipes so they are easy to search and find, which is super helpful when you go to share them!
When your children are young, they can share your same Plan to Eat account to view your recipes and help with grocery shopping. As your children get older and move out of the house, they can start their own Plan to Eat account, so they can create their own recipe collection. Then, you can connect as Friends in the app and share recipes from each of your accounts!
Here’s how a Plan to Eat customer uses the app:
“My daughters graduated college and kept calling home asking, ‘Mom, how do you make your Mac and cheese?’ Or ‘Can you give me your enchilada recipe?’… Now that we are on Plan to Eat, they have all my recipes at their fingertips.”

FAQ:
Can my adult kids access my recipes once they’ve moved out?
Yes. They can start their own Plan to Eat account and connect with you as Friends in the app, so they can pull recipes from your collection into their own anytime.
What’s the difference between sharing an account and connecting as friends?
Sharing an account works well while kids are still at home, since everyone uses the same recipe book and shopping list. Connecting as Friends works better once they’ve moved out, since each person keeps their own separate account and collection.
