One plan for the whole table, picky eaters included

Set each person's diet, dislikes and requests like "No onions" once. The plan picks meals most of the table can eat, and anyone who won't eat tonight's dish gets a plate from the same cooking, not a second recipe.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner, planned for the week

Choose who eats which meals at home, including school-day lunches, so you only shop for what you'll make. Add a prep day if you like.

One grocery list, grouped by aisle

Every ingredient goes on one list, one line per food, priced in whole packages at typical store prices. Share it or copy it as text.

A weekly grocery budget that does the math

Your estimate starts from USDA food-plan costs for each child, teen and adult at home. Over budget? Stretch mode tries cheaper versions of the week and suggests swaps that keep your family's food rules.

Budget and nutrition figures are estimates based on USDA data and your own entries.

Starts with what's already in your pantry

Food you already have stays off the list. Opened packages and the rest of a bag or box go into future plans first, and quick-spoiling produce lands early in the week.

Questions

When does Cross the Peas launch?

Soon. We'll email the waitlist on launch day.

Will it be on iPhone and Android?

It works in the web browser on your phone, tablet or computer. iPhone and Android apps are planned, and we'll email the waitlist when they're out.

Does it plan breakfast and lunch too, or just dinner?

All three. You choose which meals each person eats at home.

How does it handle picky eaters?

The plan picks meals most of the table can eat, from each person's diet and dislikes.

How is the grocery budget estimated?

From USDA food-plan costs for each person at home and typical store prices. It's an estimate, not your store's prices.

Does it make a grocery list?

Yes, one list for the week, grouped by aisle.

Can it use food I already have?

Yes. Food you have stays off the list, and opened packages are used first.

What about allergies?

Allergies are handled per person: the app swaps the ingredient or skips the recipe, and warns you if you add one yourself. Not medical advice. Always read the label.
