I'm trying to get more organized with dinners instead of defaulting to chicken nuggets and mac and cheese every other night. There are so many options - Mealime, Paprika, Yummly, etc. Do any of you guys actually use these? Does it actually save time or is it just another thing to manage?
I tried like five different meal planning apps and they all do basically the same thing. What matters is picking one and actually using it for 3 weeks before deciding it sucks.
Chicken nuggets and mac and cheese are honestly underrated meals. That said Paprika is the app I use and it lets you plan stuff way faster than doing it in your head.
Not using an app but just google sheets with repeated meals actually works better than anything I paid for. Same 12 dinners rotated every month keeps everyone happy.
Mealime is what we use because it syncs with our grocery delivery app. Makes shopping way less of a headache. But also requires you to actually meal plan which is the annoying part.

The real life hack is just picking 7-10 meals that aren't too hard and rotating them. Way easier than trying to be creative every week. MealPrepOnSunday subreddit has some solid rotation ideas.
