Meal planning app

Big oven has been my go to for years but over the last few months, the grocery list has marked things off that aren’t marked off and switches back and forth and brings back old grocery items and doesn’t sync. I’m done.

What I used to like was the collections of recipes, like I could easily look up crockpot or camping stuff or deserts etc.

I also liked their “i have these ingredients” searches

They also have a way to look at a recipe and auto click the ingredients to your grocery list.

The calendar can use manual notes or link the recipe you want right over to the date...so H can see the recipe on his app if he is the one making dinner.

But the grocery glitch nonsense is annoying me

What do you use?

Nothing- we basically just get stuck in food ruts. Otherwise just Pinterest for recipes, print in a binder or actual cookbooks.

I feel like we tried a couple and gave up on them.

Same. I just have my running list of recipe favorites and try to cycle through them. For awhile I had a jar with popsicle sticks in it that each had a meal idea. The girls liked picking from that. I've basically given up on meal planning since this all started and it shows. I ordered myself a new paper planner to try and make myself feel better and back on track and it includes a special weekly spot to list the meals for the week. 

(I fully realize I'll probably use it for a week and give up)

Nada. We keep basic staples in the house, have a meal kit service for 3 meals a week, and then buy specific items we need for whatever else we decide to cook.
