  • The Shopping List makes trips to the grocery store a breeze by combining all of the ingredients from the recipes in your weekly meal plan and organizing them in a simple printable format. The Shopping List finds all the times a particular ingredient appears in the weekly meal plan, totaling up the amount needed for the week, and even organize ingredients by their type and aisle in the grocery store.
  • My Stuff allows users to save all of their family's favorite recipes in one personalized file for quick and easy access anytime. Users can also save a week's meal plan and shopping list here for future use.
