* EASY AND QUICK RECIPES

* MEAL PLANNER
Planning meals for your family ahead saves lots of your time and takes the most stressful question off your shoulders: What’s for dinner? You can use a weekly menu the app offers (no decision making required) or find the best meal recipe for you and your family. You have the opportunity to adjust your menu - add afternoon snacks or remove those meals that you choose to eat out of the house.

Your shopping list will be automatically created once a menu for a day or a week is organised. With a single tap all ingredients will be directly added to the shopping lists. If you need to add more items to your grocery list, it’s there as well.
