Hey folks, Roughly how many hours does it take for you to develop 1 week's worth of meal plans (with recipes) for someone? If you're allowed to share, roughly how much do you charge an hour? Thanks
Are there any programs that can generate a meal plan with recipes and an accompanying shopping list? I have some dietary restrictions (no wheat, dairy, or corn) and this could greatly simplify my life.
Just in a theoretical sense
Just looking for a simple app that will help me with my shopping list and cooking simple, healthy meals. I'm not a particularly good cook nor am I a foodie so I don't really care if my meals taste amazing,...
