Yesterday<\/a> I told you that I have a ton of recipes \u00a0(no surprise, I’m sure) and that I decided I wanted “an app for that” and what I was looking for in an app. (This article will make more sense if you go back and read that one first.)<\/p>\n

What’d I find?<\/strong><\/p>\n

After paying for the one that had no trial (Ouch!), that I like a lot of features on but it doesn’t have the customization I need, I went back to one that I really liked when I was using trial versions.

Just utilize “Services” to clip and add, making it very easy to put the right info in the right place in the template. I LOVE the ease of putting together\u00a0Meal Plans–just drag ‘n drop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
