Meal prep plans made for
the real chaos
of parenting.
Our Story
Founded in 2022 by parents who were done with meal kit boxes, generic apps, and recipes their kids refused to eat.
The 5 o'clock panic is
completely optional.
It's 5:15 PM. You've had back-to-back meetings, the kids are melting down, and you're standing in front of the fridge opening it for the third time like something new will appear.
You're not disorganized. You're not a bad parent. You're just solving the wrong problem — improvising dinner every night when a little bit of weekend prep could make the whole week feel different.
That's why we built Simmerly. Not for foodies. Not for meal-kit subscribers. For parents who cook most nights and still feel perpetually behind.
"I stopped dreading Sunday meal prep the moment I realized I was doing it for the wrong recipes. Simmerly gave me plans my kids actually eat — and 45 minutes back every weeknight."
— Mara T., mom of three, Portland OR

"My 7-year-old is the world's pickiest eater. I had given up on anything but pizza and nuggets. Simmerly changed that in four weeks."
James K. — dad of two, Austin TX
"I used to spend 30 minutes every evening figuring out dinner. Now I open the fridge, everything is prepped, dinner is on the table in 18 minutes flat."
Priya S. — mom of one, Chicago IL
