Have you perfected that soda or banana bread recipe, or re-invented the Sunday roast? Did you emerge from several lockdowns as a culinary genius, skilled enough to take on Gordon Ramsay? Many of you have, for sure, and in most cases, this newfound skill/hobby is possible because of the wonders of the Internet! So, let’s get started and review our App of the Month, Mealime - Meal Planner, Recipes & Grocery List.
Starting off
This app is super easy to get up and running. Once you install Mealime, there is a simple welcome with a “Get Started” button. The quick 3-page intro is enjoyable and well laid out. What I love about setting this food app up, are the options to state your allergies and dislikes! In no time at all, you are meal building.
How it works
It’s all about building a meal plan. You have what seems like hundreds of meals to choose from. Select the meals you, your family, or your housemates will eat for the next few days, and review your selection. When you are happy, select “build this plan”.
It is that simple! All of the ingredients that you need magically appear in “groceries”. Just tick off all the items you have and that will leave you with all the things you need to buy.
So, you have built your meal plan, and sorted your shopping list, now you are ready to cook! The recipes are fool-proof. Mealime has thought of everything, even cooking mode, which has a built-in timer! You really must check it out!
You also have the option to upgrade to Pro, which gives you more recipes to choose from and other exclusive features.
The benefits
- Extremely quick setup.
- Saves time by building meal plans and creating a shopping list for you.
- Has a “food waste saved” counter. Reduces food waste and helps you save money.
- Eliminates arguments about “what’s for dinner?” (well, in my house anyway).
