Is there a company that sells meal planning?

I'm spending so much $ on Munchery, because I am not good at planning my shopping / cooking / eating. I have a small repertoire of cooking recipes, I don't know whats seasonal, etc. Also, planning just takes a lot of time.

Is there a service I can pay to just give me shopping lists and quick easy tasty recipes each week?

Then I can just put the shopping list into instacart and be ready to go.

I know there are a lot of shitty recipe websites and outdated cooking blogs but I'm looking for something quality and reliable, with an easy-to-use experience.

yeah that looks like the right idea but that site looks 20 years old. is it even still working?

Yes, it is. I use it (the featured meal this week is Cuban-Stuffed Pork Tenderloin), and like it quite a bit. They have menus for restrictive diets as well as menus to take advantage of sales at certain food retailers. Their menu is better than their website (which actually is better than it used to be), and they have a decent android app.. They have a free trial, check it out - https://emeals.com/account/trial.php.

Isn't that what Blue Apron is for? https://www.blueapron.com/

Still kind of pricey at $10/meal.

no but they sell you the food too. I want to just get the food from the cheap mexican market near my house.
