- You stare at a recipe and think, “This is too complicated… I don’t have half of these ingredients… I’ll mess up anyway.”
- Or, on busy weeknights, you skip cooking altogether—takeout, drive‑thru, anything just to stop the overwhelm.
- You feel guilty when you waste food, spend too much on groceries, or let dinner be another battleground.
You don’t just want dinner to be manageable; you want to feel like you’ve got this — even when your brain is fried and the fridge feels chaotic.
The Tuesday Takeout Spiral - Even when you start the week strong, the plan falls apart by midweek. You forget what you were going to make, can’t find the recipe, or realize you’re missing one stupid ingredient. Next thing you know, it’s Uber Eats — again — and you’re left with food waste, frustration, and that sinking “I failed again” feeling.
Planning Feels Like a Full-Time Job - Meal planning isn’t just a 10-minute task. It’s a mental marathon. You have to figure out what to eat, what you have, what fits your energy level, what the kids will eat, and what won’t go bad in the fridge. Just thinking about it is exhausting — and that’s before you even cook
Grocery Store Overwhelm - The lights. The noise. The choices. The crowds. Grocery shopping can be a full-blown sensory overload — especially when your brain is already stretched thin. Add hormone shifts or ADHD fog, and even a quick shop can feel like a meltdown waiting to happen.
Cooking Time vs. Brain Time - You plan to start cooking at 6pm. But by the time you get going, it’s 7:15, you’re already drained, and halfway through you forget what step you’re on. You burn the onions, miss the timer, or get so distracted you give up entirely. Your brain and the clock just don’t sync up the way recipes expect them to.
You Do It All, and It Still Feels Thankless - You planned. You shopped. You cooked. And then everyone eats in five minutes, complains about the veggies, and disappears — leaving you with a sink full of dishes and no thanks. You don’t feel proud. You feel wiped out. Like dinner stole your night and gave you nothing back.

Imagine this instead:
- Open a recipe. It’s reformatted to be easy to follow—step‑by‑step audio if you prefer listening, not reading.
- Missing an ingredient? Smart Swaps pop up so you can adapt without scrambling or buying more stuff.
- Your shopping list builds itself based on what you need—no more “oops, forgot the basil again.”
The whole system works whether you’re cooking for one, feeding a family, or juggling picky eaters.

“Just give me the recipe, give me the ingredients, tell me exactly what I need, when I need it, and then give me the step-by-step without any fluff. That’s all I want. And this did exactly that. It’s the first time a cooking tool actually matched how my brain works.”

“At first I was like... just another app I’ll forget to use. But it actually made cooking easier. I didn’t feel lost. The reminders were gentle. It didn’t yell at me or make me feel bad if I had to pause. And honestly? I cooked three dinners in a week, which is a win in my book. I used to spend more money on take out than rent.”

“I get overwhelmed and distracted really easily when I cook. I usually forget a step or just give up and order something. But this actually helped me stay on track. The one-step-at-a-time layout with ingredients in the step — that was a game changer. It’s the first time I’ve felt like I could actually finish cooking without getting flustered.”
"Meal planning always felt like a full-time job I didn’t sign up for. I’d start with good intentions, but by midweek I’d be too tired, too distracted, or missing something. Hold My Spoon changed that. I followed a recipe start to finish without getting lost — and it actually felt easy. That hasn’t happened in ages. And I used all my ingredients!"
