## What is Food Friend?

THE RECIPE APP FOR HEALTH-CONSCIOUS PEOPLE
 
We're right there with you - it's hard to get your cooking game on, stay on track of a health plan, or even know the nutrition of your home-cooked meals.  We're busy these days, meal planning has always been difficult, and discovering the nutritional info of food that comes out of the oven is borderline confusing.  We get bogged down by the process and we end up eating unhealthy delivery food, or we cook the same bland recipe again. In the end, we don't follow through with our intention of continuing to eat delicious, healthy food.
​
We got tired of going down that path, too. And so we consolidated the entire process of healthy cooking at home into a free, easy-to-use app, enabling each of us to get to our respective finish lines. Our aim with Food Friend is to empower you to:
 ∙ Know what you're eating at home and eat healthier.
 ∙ Cook at home more and enjoy a greater variety of meals.
 ∙ Establish a healthy process or help you stay on track of a diet.
 
DELICIOUS & HEALTHY RECIPES
 ∙ Select from a large database of nutritionally-valued recipes added by users like yourself...or create your own.
 
ORGANIZED GROCERY LISTS
 ∙ Ingredients are combined and organized for your shopping pleasure.
 
EASY COOKING
 ∙ Scale and associate recipes for easy cooking, no matter the size of the party.
 
TRACK YOUR NUTRITION AT HOME
 ∙ Discover the nutritional values of the meals you cook at home.
 ∙ We leverage the USDA's data, as well as other leading online nutritional sources, to nutritionally-value ingredients.
 
A COMMUNITY GIVING BACK
 
Underpinning Food Friend is a complex framework that allows users to create and share nutritionally-valued recipes that combine into organized grocery lists.  When you share your favorite recipes with the Food Friend community, they're recipes everybody else can add, personalize, and enjoy as well.
 
Our aim with Food Friend is to empower you to cook at home more and eat healthier. We acknowledge that not everyone in this world has a kitchen to cook in, or even food to cook. Food Friend wishes to help those less fortunate eat well, too, and in that pursuit, we will donate 10% of our profits to local food banks.
 
SUBSCRIPTION PRICING & TERMS
