Pepperplate

Pepperplate is an app we discovered for recipes, grocery lists and menus.  I LOVE it so far.  You can import recipes from supported sites (ie allrecipes.com and foodnetwork.com).

We have been wanting to go electronic with my recipes for a while but never had a good way to do it.  This is going to work well I think!

We got a tablet (which has android on it) so with this app, we can take the tablet to the grocery store and not have to have a paper list.  It also has a planner so I can type in the name of the recipe I plan to cook for dinner.  Then at the top of the planner, click "add to list" and it takes all the ingredients from the recipe and adds to the grocery list.  You can edit the grocery and add the other things you need too.  

I've just spent the last 2 hours importing recipes (cuz I'm just a wee little bit OCD!! lol)  Oh, this app is also available for Ipad/Iphone etc.  I also like it because it will sync online (with the laptop) and with my smartphone

  • Ooooh, this sounds interesting.  Right now, we use Our Groceries for keeping our grocery lists organized, but I'm going to take a look at this later.  Thanks for sharing!

  • Sounds cool! We use GroceryIQ now and I like how DH and I can sync the lists between our iPhones and computer. I like the sounds of that one incorporating recipes though!

  • Oh, yes, that was going to be my one question...can we sync our phones, so we can both add to the grocery list?  That is the one thing I love about Our Groceries...

    Yes it syncs between phones, laptop and tablet as long as there is internet of course :)

  • This sounds really great, thanks for sharing - I'll have to check it out. We're trying to eat out less, save money on food, etc. Having a good way to keep track of everything will be really helpful! 
  • This sounds great.  So far I've just been using Reminders on my phone to make lists that I can check stuff off of.  But I (obviously) have to make the list from the recipes.  This would save that step if I can just move stuff over from the recipe itself.
