Meal planning apps?

trishee13

Does anyone use any apps to plan their meals for the week? And where to save recipes? I find recipes online and I am constantly taking screenshots of them then they sit in my photos and I lose them hahaa

Any reccomendations for getting more organized would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Following. I want advice as well.

I have been using a LO carb slow cooker recipe book I got off amazon. It's pretty good, quick prep times and I love meals that cook themselves.

I have an app on my iPad called paprika for recipes. You can go to the website and can save it from there or you can add your own. While you are using the app, the screen doesn't turn off. You can also organize the recipes any way you want.

Save your recipes on a Pinterest board!

Interested too. I'd like an app where you can save recipes, then when you want to make it you put how many servings you want and can add the ingredients to a shopping list. Maybe too much to ask for.

I save too many on Pinterest and I never go back to look haha

I'm gonna check out the paprika one because that sounds like what I'm looking for. I found the app "AnyList" last night which I really like, and you can import the recipes from websites and add the ingredients to a grocery list. I'm pretty sure you can adjust the servings too.

That is what the paprika app does. It has servings and such. Once you get it all in there, you can also adjust the recipe (2x, 3x, 1/2x, etc). It works really well and I don't think I've made full use of it. Here's screenshots of the description from iTunes.

Eta: sorry the pics are in the reverse order!

It's really convenient. I think my favorite part is that the screen doesn't turn off. That is the worst when you are trying to cook. I'm glad it's what you were looking for!
