10 Secrets to Help Fix the Meal Planning Mayhem!

 We ALL know that feeling, it's 5 o'clock in the evening and you're looking around thinking, "What should we have for dinner?" 

Well, it doesn't have to be that way! Bring in a little bit of paperless living to make your meals simple and streamlined. 

Here are 10 Secrets to Help Fix the Meal Planning Mayhem!  

1.  Secret #1 - Use a food management app! Paprika, Pepperplate, Prepear and Plan to Eat are all great options!
2. Secret #2 - Easily import and add all of your favorite recipes into your app. Say goodbye to piles of unused cookbooks, dozens of Pinterest boards and scattered recipe binders.
3. Secret #3 - Categorize your recipes into groups for easy searching, or use the built-in search function to easily find recipes based on title, ingredients, directions or source.
4. Secret #4 - Generate cohesive and simple meal plans on a digital calendar with your digital recipes in minutes.
5. Secret #5 - With your meal plan ready, just a few more clicks and you can easily generate a complete grocery list with everything you need for your meals for the upcoming week.
6. Secret #6 - Sort your digital grocery list by aisle so you spend way less time in the store. An organized list means you can get in and out fast!
7. Secret #7 - Better yet … share your digital grocery list with a spouse, child or friend so they can easily pick up all the groceries for you!
8. Secret #8 - Utilize the interactive features of your digital recipes while you’re cooking. Scale the recipe if you’re feeding a crowd, highlight the directions that you’re on and cross off ingredients as you’re cooking so you know exactly where you are as you’re cooking.
9. Secret #9 - Perfect your recipes over time! Make adjustments to ingredient quantities, cooking times and more right on your digital recipe.
10. Secret #10 - Enjoy your paperless cookbook and the beauties of a comprehensive food management app! Whether you are meal planning on your computer at home, pulling up a grocery list on your phone at the store, or using recipe directions on your tablet in the kitchen, a food management app can help you stay in sync, save you time and money, and of course, simplify your days in and out of the kitchen!

Personal Recommendation

All of these food management apps are wonderful! My personal favorite is Paprika. I've been using Paprika for years and I would hardly know how to manage my recipes and meals without it!
