Highlighted Reviews
“10 stars if it was an option. I’ve been meal planning for a long time. Have used everything from a notebook and binder to a special recipe reader before smartphones were a thing. But this app does it all. I love the cloud-based platform. It lets me work from my computer, which I prefer for the planning part. Then transitions flawlessly to my phone and my tablet to go shopping or cook in the kitchen. I tell everyone about it!”
“I’m a grandmother who still has my old recipe card files and yet what do I now use? Plan to Eat! I’m very grateful for this efficient tool in my own kitchen and when on the road!! It’s quick and easy to save and share recipes. And I now have my Plan to Eat recipe file tucked away in my phone! It goes everywhere I go! “
