If you don't love automagic, you should check out http://plantoeat.com. Its bookmarklet imports from all the major recipe sites and most food blogs, and you can then create your plan, your shopping list, etc., with ease. Just schedule a meal on the planner and it gets added to your shopping list. There are some issues with duplicate formatting but otherwise it's great.

To Eat This Much:

Cream cheese pickles? A mixture of cream cheese, pickles, and cured beef??? Fabulous fried cabbage? I… uh… grosssss. I would never eat either of those.

Hey man, this is amazing! You just gained a subscriber! :)

It would be really good if you had a way to choose certain recipes to available only to certain meals of the day.

This way you could find recipes on the public repository or create one yourself and add to the "list of possible combinations".

I also think that the "like" on each Meal of the day should make the combination of recipes in that meal to be "bundled" and be selectable/randomizable from the ones you already liked , so you can basically open the website everyday and choose the meals you wanna have today.

A "Daily Shopping List" button, or a "Shop for the next X days" would not be bad at all either!

Was just about to write the same comment, but don't feel an upvote is enough. Great work on the ux, and the help texts answered my questions spot on. Great job :) Edit: And it remembered my entered values when i accidentally left the page! Edit again: To add some constructive: I'm not to good at ounces, oz and cups, would it be possible to add an option for using the metric system?

At the top of the options page there's a checkbox for metric units. The next time you regenerate the meal plan, most things should be in metric units.

Can your please add "oz" and "cup" to your translate todo list? :-)
