Recipe and Shopping List App

sophiaj1969

I love MyFitnessPal, but I really wish it had an option to create shopping lists from my food diary/recipes. As far as I can see it doesn't, so I'm looking for an app that does the following:

1. Allows me to add my own recipes with ingredients.
2. Calculates the nutritional values of my recipes.
3. Creates a shopping list for the recipes.
4. Works across Mac Desktop, iPad, and iPhone.

Anyone know of an app that does this? I am happy to pay for a subscription service if it does what I need.

Thanks!

Going to follow this. I use Out of Milk as a grocery list and love it. But the recipe, nutrition, shopping list combo is something I didn't realize I needed... until you just said it lol. Yes.. that would be great. I would imagine it would be difficult to get all of the ingredients 100% accurate though.

Come on, someone... make our dreams come true here!

3.a. Inventories stock and determined what is needed to be purchased
3.b. Creates shopping list by store that has the best price on the costliest missing ingredients
3.c. Creates shopping list by aisles in the selected store

Eh, I think my brain can do this faster than an app

MFP does 1 and 2.

I do # 3, thus eliminating the need for # 4: As I meal plan and run low on staples I write items on a white board. With meals in mind, I review the supermarket flyers and/or use flipp.com. I pick a store and transfer items from the white board to my list, which I put in aisle order as that reduces or eliminates backtracking, which is especially important in these days of one way aisles.

I actually find it fun to sit down plan my meals on the week based on what is on sale. I love getting my sale paper and sitting down with it.
But I do hate entering recipes on MyFitnessPal. They have made it super easy— I can’t imagine counting calories from recipes before the days of MyFitnessPal. But even so, I loathe it!

I use AnyList for shopping and love it. It has a recipe feature but I don’t use it. You may still want to check it out- I just love it.
