Our Story

To millions of customers Fix-It and Forget-It means quick and easy, tasty, and family-friendly.

Phyllis Pellman Good loves food. She's especially concerned for those who don't have enough time to cook, as well as those who lack the confidence to cook.

Phyllis and her husband, Merle, launched the Fix-It and Forget-It franchise in 2000, after many years of publishing popular cookbooks. "Food sustains us, both physically and socially. I want to make it possible to prepare food at home, despite our hectic lives, and to be able to share it together."
