My co-worker and fellow mom, Grace, showed me an app she uses to meal plan and grocery shop. It’s called Mealime. It’s free, but there is a “Pro” option that you can pay for if you really like the app and want more features.

The app has recipes for a complete meal, main dish and sides, for several different ways of eating. You select your preference and the app shows you all the meals. You can plan meals for the week by selecting the ones you want to cook.

The app will generate a shopping list for all the meals selected. You can mark off the ingredients that you already have at home, a feature I really like.

I started using it over the summer and then I slacked off this winter. I used to use the “Classic” and “Low-Carb” options. I decided this week to use the app again and saw where there is a keto option! So tonight, I was feeling adventurous so I made this….

This is Steak, Asparagus, and Bell Pepper Stir Fry. The recipes have some good sized portions, and we usually have leftovers. This meal was really, really good. It was a nice change from what I usually cook in the winter and it wasn’t very labor-intensive. It called for freshly grated ginger, which I’ve never used in a recipe, and the scent is now one of my favorites. I cooked some microwave brown rice for the Swirlies, but Joe B and I ate this by itself in a bowl.

Just wanted to share another tool I rediscovered today. 😊 Happy Friday!!
