Just FYI - I downloaded the Five Plates meal planning app and I'm not impressed. I would not recommend it

. I had high hopes but no. It auto picks 5 recipes but if you don't like one you can't search for another. You can't add your own, and you can't make changes permanently to the recipe or even notes.

EMOmamma · October 2013

M - steak, corn, green beans
Tu- crockpot ital chicken stew
W- pasta w/ veggie marinara
Th- crockpot jambalaya
F- pizza night

That's exactly why I've been hesitant to use any sort of meal planning website/app. I want freedom to be able to pick and choose recipes. I've had the most luck creating a database of our family recipes and choosing from those. I'll try new things (usually found on Pinterest) to try and bulk up our database.

I was thinking about doing that in excel and maybe using some code to do a random number generator to pick different ones for me. I have a lot but get in a rut with the same things. At least that way I could link it to websites/pins ect and maybe some kind of notes section... hmmm

Or maybe I need to plan a month at a time.

@EMO-mamma I made a (much less crafty) version of this menu board https://sarahpotterphotography.com/diy-menu-board. It has been working out pretty well for us. DH also likes to be able to look at it to know what we are having throughout the week.
