SundayGroceries away

The hard part of dinner happens at 5:45 PM.

Not the cooking. The deciding. Everyone’s hungry, the chicken is still frozen solid and somebody needs a ride. That’s when takeout wins, or cereal does.

The Sunday Shift moves the work to one afternoon, when you have more patience. You shop from one list, cook for about three hours and stack labeled dinners in the freezer. On weeknights, the only job left is reheating.

This page follows that Sunday, from the moment the groceries are put away to the next Friday night.

SundayEvery burner on

Your First Shift, start to finish.

The book includes one complete Sunday, already planned: the shopping list, the order of jobs and the labels. It makes four dinners for a family of four, with some beef and sauce left over. Here’s how the afternoon runs.

Counter

  • Unpack
  • Chop onions, garlic and potatoes. Shred the chicken.
  • Portion, label, freeze

Dutch oven

  • Brown the beef, then let it simmer about 2 hours

Sauce pot

  • Big-batch marinara

Potato pot

  • Boil, then mash

Skillet

  • Beef tips in onion gravy

Oven, 375 °F

  • Chicken & corn bake

In the freezer by 4:15:

Mon · Chicken & corn bake Tue · Shredded beef Wed · Beef tips + mash Thu · Marinara

About 3 hours and 15 minutes, plus dishes. Your first shift may run longer, and that’s fine.

SundayPortion & label

Label it like you’ll forget. You will.

The Freezer Guide covers the unglamorous parts that make this work: cooling, containers, labels and a list on the door, so nothing hides in the back for a year.

Beef tips + mash1

Masking tape and a permanent marker. Printable labels are in the book too.
  1. Name. What’s inside, in words a teenager can read.
  2. Date made. The oldest gets eaten first.
  3. Servings. So you grab the right size for the night.
  4. Thaw night. The evening it moves to the fridge.
  5. Reheat target. 165 °F in the center.
  • Cool it fast. Shallow containers, and into the freezer within 2 hours of cooking.
  • Freeze it flat. Bags lie on a sheet pan until solid, then stand up like files.
  • Leave some room. About ½ inch at the top for soups and sauces. They expand.
  • Oldest in front. Cross things off the door list as you use them.

Is it right for your kitchen?

A good fit if

  • You’d rather cook once a week than decide every night.
  • You can give one afternoon, about three hours, to cooking.
  • You have some freezer space, even just the freezer above your fridge.
  • You cook for a family. Most recipes make 4 to 6 servings and can be halved.
  • You like seeing approximate calories and macros, or need to spot gluten-free and dairy-free recipes quickly.

Not a fit if

  • You want a printed book in the mail. It’s a PDF.
  • You need a medical or therapeutic diet. Please work with your doctor or a registered dietitian.
  • You cook for a severe allergy and need certified allergen-free recipes.
  • You’re looking for video lessons or an app.
  • You love cooking fresh every night. Keep doing that.
WednesdayLong day

What The Sunday Shift doesn’t do.

  • It isn’t medical or nutrition advice. No recipe here treats or prevents anything, and none of it is a weight-loss plan. For a medical diet, talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian.
  • The numbers are approximate. Calories and macros change with brands, portion sizes and swaps.
  • Tags aren’t certifications. GF and DF tags come from the ingredients as written. Read every label, and watch for cross-contact if someone has celiac disease or a food allergy.
  • It can’t promise savings. How much time or money you save depends on your store, your kitchen and your family.
  • Freezing changes some textures. Each recipe tells you what to expect and how to handle it.

A recipe book and a plan. That’s it. And 90 days to decide if it’s right for you.

How refunds work

Questions before you buy.

What exactly do I get?

A printable PDF with 102 freezer-friendly recipes in 6 chapters, Your First Shift (one planned Sunday with its shopping list, job order and labels), the Freezer Guide, and printables: tape-style labels, a door inventory sheet, a weekly planner and a shopping list template.

Is anything mailed to me?

No. Everything is a PDF. Read it on a phone, tablet or computer, or print it at home on Letter paper.

Do I need a big freezer?

No. Your First Shift was planned for the freezer above a regular fridge: flat bags stand up like files and take little room. A chest freezer helps if you want to cook further ahead, but you don’t need one.

How long does the food keep?

Each recipe gives a best-quality time, usually 2 to 3 months. Food kept at a steady 0 °F stays safe longer, but taste and texture slowly fade, so the book tells you when each dish is at its best.

Are the calories and macros exact?

No. They are estimates per serving, based on the ingredients as written. Brands, portion sizes and swaps change them.

Can I use it for gluten-free or dairy-free cooking?

Recipes are tagged GF or DF when the ingredients as written have no gluten or no dairy. Packaged items like broth, sauces and spice blends vary, so check the labels. For celiac disease or an allergy, watch for cross-contact too.

Is this a diet or a weight-loss plan?

No. It’s a cookbook built for the freezer. It isn’t medical or nutrition advice.

What equipment do I need?

Sheet pans, a large pot or Dutch oven, a big skillet, freezer bags, a few containers with lids, masking tape and a permanent marker. An appliance thermometer for the freezer is a good idea.

How do I pay?

Click any purchase button and finish the checkout on Digistore24, our reseller. The price is $139 USD. The checkout shows the final amount in your currency, with any taxes, and the payment methods available where you live.

Is this a subscription?

No. You pay once, and nothing renews.

Will you offer me anything else?

Yes. After checkout you’ll see up to three optional add-ons: Eight Sundays ($57), Drop-In Dinners ($37) and The Morning Drawer ($37). You don’t need any of them to use The Sunday Shift, and you can skip them all.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, within 90 days of buying, with no reason needed. See Cancellations & Refunds.

How do I get help?

Write to us through the Contact page.
