"I've been using an app/website called CopyMeThat (https://copymethat.com/) that will do meal planning, shopping list creation, recipe curation/scaling, etc. It's free, but since I use it everyday, I went ahead and bought the lifetime premium version and gifted to my children as well.
Besides curating all the recipes I find on the internet (as well as some self-created ones), I often use it to type in an ingredient I need to use, plan a dinner menu (it also links to my calendar so I can see what I have planned for each day without going to the app), and create shopping lists based on the menu.
There is a community component, but just recipes - not discussions - of what others have saved to their recipe boxes.

I'm having an interesting 'problem' this month: from Monday I will have no kitchen for two weeks (renovation). I do have a (basic) microwave and it's cold enough outside to be able to store bits 'n pieces in a box outside. Breakfast is no problem, for lunch I usually make a 'salade composée' but I don't want to have to buy too many ready-made micro-waveable meals, with their added salt, sugar, high calories. Ideas for simple, nutritious, hot meals I can make in the microwave?0

@Chinkiri , you could treat yourself to an air fryer. I have a small one and I use it several times a week. You can find recipes online, but almost anything can be cooked in one.0

@Chinkiri - I love microwaved sweet potatoes. It’s not a whole meal, but you can make more nutritiously complete with toppings like peanut sauce or other whole-food condiments.1

Thank you @lesdarts180 and @AwkwardHaircut. I am getting quite good at one-pot meals in the microwave, all made with fresh produce from scratch. Only another week or so and then I'll have a super-duper kitchen. Yes, baked potato is on the menu for next week.1

I like egg veggie type thing microwaved in a mug when other sources unavailable. Easy.
Having full updated kitchen will be awesome.1
