Plan to Eat 4+

I really don’t know how long I have had this app, but I know it’s been several years. Being able to add recipes I find on different sites is great. And I appreciate being able to plan a week or month’s worth of meal plans at a time.
In the last year, I started freezer cooking, and Plan to Eat has been invaluable! My recipes are right there, and I can add or modify things as needed. I usually plan to make about 3-4 freezer meals for each week of the month. Planning and cooking ahead saves me effort and energy so I can be with my family in the evenings instead of being exhausted. I like the “add to freezer” feature with Plan to Eat. This has helped me plan further ahead, so I am only concentrating on meal planning about once every 8 or 9 weeks.
I also appreciate the grocery list functions. I don’t use them as much right now, but in the past depended on them to get my lists ready for our weekly grocery adventure.
Plan to Eat is literally my favorite app! I use it daily and my family knows how to log in and access the app to find their favorite recipes. My daughter is using the app right now for a class project. She is collecting “tried and true” recipes and almost all of ours are on Plan to Eat.
There are probably other things I could say, but I will end by saying that I love this app and heartily recommend it!

I have been using this app for at least four years now and by far it is to only thing I use to cook from anymore. I love that I can choose which recipes I want in this collection along with any ones that I make up. I can download from the internet, take a picture of ones from my favorite cookbooks or create my own. The end result is a collection of recipes of only what you want. As you prepare recipes, if you decide to alter the recipe you can make a change without having to start from square one or simply add a note at the end to show what you solid different. You can take pictures of your own creations to better see the result. If you are a planner, the menu planning option is a great way to structure your meals for a day, week, month or what ever your needs are. I am not generally a big user of this part as a general rule but when I am doing a special meal or have guests for a weekend or week, I can have the food part planned out so I can spend more time with friends or family. The shopping part helps to make sure that you don't forget important ingredients and is best used in combination with the planning part. I truly love this app and would encourage you to try it. I think if you did, you, too, would be sold on it.

I’ve had this app for over 4 years and have recommended it to all my friends. I love that I can drag my recipes into each day of the week and it generates a shopping list. I go through the shopping list and anything I already have on hand I delete and then I take use the list at the store. If your using the list on the app on your phone ( or you can print it) once you check the box for the item it disappears ( the have a button to bring it back if you make a mistake) but it makes it simpler to see what you still need as the items you checked off disappear. The items can be arranged by categories produce, canned items, etc. I have mine organized in order as they appear in the store. You can also generate list for different stores.

It does take a little time when you first start because you have to upload your recipes but it’s supper easy to do if they are online you just copy and paste and it generates them for you. If they are from a cookbook you have to type them in but honestly it’s worth it because you save so much time in the end. I I personally plan 1-3 weeks ahead of time and I never scramble to figure out what’s for dinner last minute.

I first heard about this app from a moms group I was in and it’s helped me stay organized and save time and I’ve recommended it so many times.
