“I have been trying to figure out my meal planning system for a week now… this is exactly what I was looking for. Excellent, excellent work”
“Just checked off and filled out my food list and now I’m genuinely excited to go grocery shopping so I truly appreciate it”
“I just wanted to thank you so so so much for this. It’s only been a day but I feel so put together, and have planned our lunch & dinners for the next 7 days. This is the most put-together we’ve been for our meals. I feel so proud being able to look at our recipe “book” and getting a magical no-food-waste shopping list after we’ve planned our week.
This was crazy good. Thank you so much!”

“Dude… I would often buy notion templates without ever using them, so I stopped buying them, and instead if they’re free, I try them out. There has been no template that I have ever bought that I use more than the Happy Kitchen databases. You are a saint and need to start charging for this template or like teach a class or something. Holy shit. The databases alone are mindblowing to me.”

“Absolutely OBSESSED with The Happy Kitchen template – seriously, it’s like you were in my brain (and in my dashboard’s aesthetic!). You built the exact template I wanted, and as a fellow coder getting to just tweak to personalize rather than having to build from the ground up just made my entire week. And the fact that it’s also plant-based…ahhh. I could cry. Thank you!!”

“THIS. IS. RIDICULOUSLY. AWESOME. Thank you for sharing!”
“This is just brilliant. I have been an outspoken Notion hater forced to use it for work. Then… it clicked. I get it. I’m busy converting my life to a single dashboard page on Notion. I started making trackers and recipe databases and shopping lists… but yours is so brilliant. Since I’m pretty newish with Notion, I have to figure out how the flow fits together and sit with it for an hour or two. But, your templates are amazing.
Not only am I improving my kitchen flow, but all the nagging “how do I make Notion do this?” questions… studying your work is helping me see what’s going on under the hood better so I can up my Notion game. Thank you!!!!”
“Every once in a while, someone comes along who is both incredibly talented and incredibly generous – and here you are. Thank you for sharing your fantastic resources, Happy Kitchen has been an absolute game changer for me!”
“Love the Happy Kitchen template. I was wondering what the trick is to get all the dates to pre-populate. I can’t figure out how you did that.”
