What would make Mealime better for you? šŸš€

Hi, Thanks for reaching out and the suggestions! I have noted your interest in low cholesterol recipes. Currently with the Pro version of Mealime you can add advanced filters which filter recipes based on customized parameters. Which allows members to select flexitarain menu type and then add a low carb filter.

Please please add garlic to the dislikes list. I have a diagnosed food allergy and avoid garlic. I do alter all vegetarian recipes and cook without it, but it would be wonderful if you could add garlic to this list. There are so many people with allium intolerance/allergies I would be forever grateful to have my allergy recognized by this community as I love Mealime.

This is literally the best app ever just a shoutout.

One thing that I thought of as a way to improve the nearly flawless experience is to be able to separate out my favorites. For example, sometimes I ā€œheartā€ recipes that are newly added that I would like to try, sometimes I ā€œheartā€ recipes that Iā€™ve tried already and love already. I think it would be nice for there to be a ā€œinterested inā€ list vs a ā€œmy recipesā€ list. (This is partially because the list of recipes Iā€™ve tried and love is so long, but I try to keep trying at least one new one every week ā€“ mainly because all I want in my heart is to eat sundried tomato + spinach pasta for every meal foreverandever)

This would also help with sometimes I ā€œbrowseā€ recipes for the next week but am not currently making a new meal plan I just want to think about what I might want next week and see if any new recipes have been posted

I sometimes ā€œloseā€ recipes that I think look good to try in the future but I donā€™t want to try this week as I need to use up some other fresh ingredients I have.

One other thing I thought about ā€“ a random meal generator

I know you can change to the basic way of doing all random meals + favorites, but I think it would be cool to have the option to add a random meal from the advanced setting

@cpsychc Thanks for this feedback and providing insight into how you use favorites. This is something we are thinking a lot about.

Regarding a random meal generator - I can let you know that we have a new feature ready to launch soon that I think you will be quite excited about. Itā€™s much better than a random generator. Keep an eye out!

Instant Pot / pressure cooker recipes for sure! That is how I do most of my cooking these days-- Mealime seems like it is good for people looking to save time- so we should be able to use our time-saving kitchen appliances as well! Crock Pot recipes would be another good option.

Thanks for reaching out and for the suggestion!

I agree with @Krissyd29, crockpot options would be amazing for those days that you wonā€™t have time to cook after work.

Hi Brad,

Thanks for the suggestion! We have noted your interest in crock pot recipes, and will reach out if these recipes become available.

Corona quarantine times are upon us and groceries take forever to be delivered unless you go to the grocery store. I envision how I for the next who knows how long will have to rely on what is already in my pantry rather than on a perfect grocery shopping list.

Could you make the substitute options available in the recipe? They are available while grocery shopping but not once I create the menu for the week. At least I do not see the substitute options.

May I just add that I LOVE the recipes? I think there was only one recipe that has not worked out well, and I use the app all the time, and recently I started using it for inspiration given what is in my pantry. I ask myself, how would the Mealime chefs cook this chicken? Oh, what amazing food would they whip up if they looked at my pantry?

Hi- Thanks for reaching out. It is great to hear you are enjoying Mealime! Thanks for the suggestion. This is something we are looking into developing. In case you havenā€™t seen we have a use what is in my pantry feature. Open the build my perfect plan, from here you will see a blue button ā€œuse whatā€™s in your pantryā€ tap this to access the feature.

#389

Thank you for letting me know about the pantry feature. I just tried it, and it is exactly what I am looking for. If it could remember some of the stuff I have in the pantry, it would be even better since now I have larger quantities of some ingredients. Amazing app!

#390

I would love to see an option for seasonal recipes!

#391

Hi There, Thanks for the suggestion!

#392

I love Mealime and recommend it to so many people. I would love to be able to filter recipes based on nutritional content! Also, how to incorporate secret recipes into my plan.

Thanks!

Hi There, with the Pro version of Mealime you can filter recipes base on calories or using the advanced filters more specific nutritional content. At this time to add an ā€œunlockedā€ or secret recipe, you will need to search the title (using the magnifying glass top right). I would suggest favoriting the recipe so it can be easily found under your favorites category.

Iā€™d love to be able to do a monthly plan with what I could but for the month, and what needs to be purchased at the start of each week (so frozen and pantry items could be monthly, fresh veg and fruit weekly according to the recipes Ihave planned for each week).

#395

Thanks for suggestions!!!

Loving Mealime, and we use if weekly to plan our meals. However, thereā€™s a few things that would make it perfect for me:

  • Matching custom recipe ingredients to Mealimeā€™s database so that they are as smart as Mealimeā€™s own recipes. For ingredients not in the database, allow suggestions for new ones.

  • Ability to enter quantity and unit of measure for custom recipe ingredients

  • Allow custom recipes to be split into steps, enabling Cooking Mode to be used for them as well

  • Allow repeating of meals in meal plan. For instance, if I want to have the same breakfast all week, I could add 7 instances of it

These would make Mealime the ideal meal planning and grocery list app for me
