What's for Dinner Wheel

Weeknight dinner ideas at the spin of a wheel. Great for meal planning.

Click the wheel or press Space to spin

Tip: paste a column straight from Excel or Google Sheets.

End the “what’s for dinner?” question

Every evening, the same question: what are we having? This wheel is loaded with twelve classic home-cooked dinners. Spin it once for tonight, or use it to plan the whole week.

Plan a week of dinners in one minute

  1. Edit the entries so they match meals your household enjoys.
  2. Open Settings and turn on Remove winner automatically.
  3. Spin seven times, writing each result next to a day of the week.
  4. Open the Results tab and export the list as a CSV file for your shopping list.

Because winners are removed, you won’t get spaghetti three nights in a row.

Dinner ideas to add to your wheel

  • Quick (under 20 minutes): omelette, quesadillas, pesto pasta, stir-fried noodles
  • One-pot: risotto, chili, curry, stew, shakshuka
  • Budget-friendly: jacket potatoes, lentil dal, egg fried rice, bean burritos
  • Weekend treats: homemade pizza, roast dinner, BBQ, lasagne

Make dinner fun for the family

Kids love spinning wheels. Let a different family member spin each night, or make a “Friday surprise” wheel full of new recipes to try. Save each version under My wheels and switch between them in one click.
