  • Sad

    I was excited to use this app. The meal ideas are fabulous, and interesting. I had created a grocery shopping list, looked at a few recipes and yes, I wanted to make them. Then I got a little further, and it’s time to look at the price for the app if the price for the three months was what it was for a full year I would’ve done it. We are on Social Security and the idea of spending $134 or whatever it was every three months I can’t do that now if you were going to send me the food, that would be alright..
    Really only have about 5 lbs to shed, but the A1C is higher than I has ever been. Either way, I will still be increasing my intake of veggies p
    Thank you for the beautiful site. Good luck for all those using your great app.

  • A Lifesaver

    Homemade Method is a great program that provides me with a variety of tools to eat healthy. I have been wanting to eat more vegetables but couldn’t find recipes that inspired me. Not only do Homemade Method recipes inspire me to cook, they are delicious!
    I have also found that I lose weight without counting calories. I snack less than before and I am satisfied after eating without overeating. Chef Lizzie’s videos have taught me how to prepare and put delicious meals together. I started the program with smoothies, then gradually added my favorite recipes from the weekly calendar of recipes to try along with a shopping list. Following the recipes has helped me control my blood pressure and my weight. My cholesterol has been coming down. I also use the video library for mindfulness and targeted exercise. The great thing is the app! It makes everything so easy! We also have a community on Facebook that shares ideas.
  • Great App, Amazing healthy eating program!

    I’ve been a member of this program for a few years now - before they added the App. The App was the perfect addition. I love that the HM team asked the members for help with the requirements and testing for their App. We know what we need and want and the Homemade Method team listens. I love just typing in an ingredient I have in my pantry/fridge and getting lots of healthy, delicious options to choose from. Also, it’s perfect for meal planning. You pick recipe choices for the week and the app creates your grocery list. As for the program itself, my A1C, blood pressure and weight have never been better. The HM coaches, program and App are all 5 stars! The best thing of all is the personal touches. The HM team is like family. ❤️

  • HMM & App for the Win!

    Homemade Method is hands-down the BEST program for creating delicious, healthy meals in your own kitchen! This app is a game changer for the program, making it a snap to find a yummy breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack recipe. So much to love about HMM! In addition to the weekly provided meal plans created by professional dietitians, nutrition experts and chefs, my favorite features of the app are *search* and *favorites.* Save your favorite recipes with a tap to easily keep them on repeat. Have something in your fridge you need to use? Thawed some chicken but need inspiration? Use the powerful SEARCH feature! I’ve even done a search for oddball ingredients and found a great recipe (think Brussels sprouts or basil) 😂. I use both the Shopping List and Search feature often at the market. Even when I’m shopping from a meal plan/app shopping list, when I see something on sale I can do a quick search for a recipe to take advantage of the sales! It’s a win-win ❤️

  • Homemade Method

    The Homemade Method approach to healthy nutritional eating is excellent! The app is very well done and easy to navigate. You can even generate a shopping list!
    The Facebook group is kind and helpful with tips and shared advice or supportive experiences.
    The prompt responses and support from nutritionist staff, Chef Lizzie, Zoom Live or recorded messages are all very educational.
    The recipes are diverse and delicious. There is definitely something for everyone. And the best part is that health improves, you lose weight, feel satisfied and healthy. I recommend the Homemade Method. Bonus: My husband is a Type 1 diabetic and his blood sugar levels are very stable. He loves Homemade Method, too! Truly, Karen Platz

  • Simple, but Amazingly Effective

    After trying so many different plans and finding them to be unrealistic long term and rather ineffective ,I stumbled upon the Homemade Method. It is real food, no bars, no prepackaged items or odd ingredients that are not already in your pantry or easy to find. Real food. Simple, delicious recipes. In the the short time that I have become a member, for the first time in years I am feeling more energetic, sleeping better and actually losing weight. A pound or two each week but my body is steadily changing. I have stage three RA and I am feeling changes in my pain level which I can only say is because of The Homemade Method. Great plan, amazing support, wonderful community and a way of life, not just another diet. I am so happy🌼

  • Back to Basics…Wonderful!

    I have struggled with my weight since High School. I am a decent cook, and have always tried to eat healthy foods BUT as most of you know when you are running around trying to work full time and feed your family and enjoy life, fast food and shortcuts are very tempting. I have lost weight on WW, and many other diets but NEVER been successful at keeping it off and staying healthy. Homemade is so natural, so healthy, and so smart. I learn every day as I try new recipies. I feel great, am satisfied and happy. I have a ways to go but I know I will be successful with this one. Love all the help I receive, all the smart answers. Love that I can watch a professional make these recipies if I need help. So much hard work and genuine care has gone into this wonderful program! Thank you

    Honestly, it’s been a couple of months now and I am losing weight and so satisfied. If I could give this method 10 stars I would!

  • Fabulous App & Program

    This app is easy to use and the best food recipe & cooking app I’ve ever used! Over the years, I’ve tried many apps. This one lets you save your favorite recipes, also another section for saving recipes you’ve cooked and you can even adjust the serving size and add them to your shopping list. There is a great shopping list feature that I use all the time too. You can search by ingredient too. You can watch Chef Lizzie batch cooking each week and get cooking and nutritional info from her as she cooks. The recipes are so delicious and nutritious for the whole family! I’d give it 10 stars if I could!

  • Homemade Method App

    I have been with Homemade Method since 2019, before the app was created, and loved HMM. When this app was created, it was a game changer. Not only do you get hundreds of delicious recipes, but all the features are great. I love that every recipe has an explanation of all the nutrition facts and how all the ingredients work for your body. Then you have the shopping list that is created for you after you have selected the recipes you choose to make. Another feature I like is how you can tag your favorite recipes and there is a place to put notes. I can go on and on about how great the HMM App is, and I recommend it highly.

  • Homemade Method

    I have tried many "Diets" in past years and had minimal success.... losing only a few pounds here and there... and eventually gaining it all back - plus some extra.

    I came across HMM program on FB and was very surprised how it worked and how it was so easy to cook and prepare nourishing , satisfying meals without counting points- giving up foods I loved. I learned how to make meals that would help decrease the
    effects of complications with my health issues and help to decrease my need for medications.
    This program is very affordable and you get so much support and free coaching to keep you on board - plus cooking demo videos to show you how to prepare some meals while teaching to multitask and save time !!!

    The mobile app is such a plus - you can pull up recipes in the store and generate a shopping list for chosen meals ... and then buy only the needed items to complete your meals by checking off items you know you already have!!! Such a game changer!

    Tech support for the app is always being upgraded and made as user friendly as possible so you can continue to cook and prepare better --all while nourishing your body for satisfaction !!!

    Thanks to DAN MURPHY for making the app possible ... it's a lifesaver for everyone!!! 🙂
