## What is Menu Planner by Spork Fed?

Your Meals
This is more than a recipe book. By saving Grandma’s secret family recipes right next to those 10 minute meals you can throw together, Spork Fed allows you to create a meal plan that actually matches your life.

Your Choices
Meal planning can benefit anyone, but sometimes it is too overwhelming. With Spork Fed you only need to save the meal’s name, give it a category, and say how often you prefer the meal.  Spork Fed will create a suggested menu for you based on these alone. Planning your week is as simple as choosing the categories that sound yummy and clicking Go.

Your Plan
Most people aren’t robots and their weeks include nights to get take-out or nights they will eat leftovers. Other times you have no idea what sounds good. Some nights everything falls apart and you need to call an audible. No worries, Spork Fed has options for these too. 

Your List
Once you have a plan, you still have to get the groceries. Spork Fed makes that easy by pulling in all the ingredients you have saved with your meals that you planned. All you need to do is add any additional items that need picked up at the store and you are ready to go. Once at the store, use the app to mark off the items as you go.

Made Simple
If the suggested plan doesn’t include that favorite meal you wanted to have on Tuesday, a simple swipe and replace is all it takes to update the meal plan.

If Spork Fed suggested Spaghetti on Wednesday, but you want to plan a different type of pasta. A simple swipe and shuffle will suggest the next best pasta option in your recipes.

If Thursday comes and your family decides to order Pizza instead of making the Tacos you had planned, swipe to cancel the planned meal or leave it there for tomorrow.

Live Your Plan
The only thing left to do is mark the days complete as you go.  Spork Fed stays smart by keeping track of how often you want a meal to be suggested in your meal plan and the last day you completed this meal. This will assure that next month that favorite recipe will roll back around when you plan your menu.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2020-07-17*

Great app - and when I had an issue with it, the developer responded to me promptly. I am so happy to take some of the stress out of figuring out what to cook each week.

**Developer response:** Really sorry to hear this. I’ll dig in and see if I can replicate that on my side so the saving is more reliable.

### 2/5 — Won’t save all of my recipes

*2020-05-16*

The concept is great but the technical difficulties make it un-usuable . It only saves 5/6 meals. Reached out to customer service and there was no resolution .

### 5/5 — Keeping it simple

*2019-09-27*

I hate hearing what’s for dinner. I could write down 14diff meals and make em bi-weekly right well I should be able to but somehow didn’t work that way until this app. It was simple I put in 14meals chose biweekly put in the recipes now I don’t have to hunt them down. My ingredients are all right there I click the wand and BOOM magic really happens it fills in our meals for me and now it’s like a fun thing to see what we are having I can easily plan... THANK YOU for keeping it simple a busy mom can find time to use it and it doesn’t stress me out it really was that simple

### 5/5 — Game changer

*2019-08-16*

As a single girl on a grocery budget, this is a great help to do my weekly planning. Trying to develop a more healthy life style but then trying to think what to cook each night can be a bummer. With this app you just load your recipes/meal ideas and the app takes care of the rest by choosing your meals for the week from your loaded recipes!  This way I only buy groceries for what I need and save some dollars. Affordable, time saving, and easy to use!

### 5/5 — I Love Spork Fed

*2019-08-10*

I love Spork Fed! As a mother of 3 kids with busy sports schedules I need all the help I can get! The cool thing about this app is that you can even plug in eating out and freezer food. You don’t have to be a chef, good cook, or even like cooking. You just plug in the meals or recipes you like, and Spork Fed will create your meal plan for you. You can note how often you like eating certain meals. There are so many meal planning/recipe apps out there but Spork Fed by far is my favorite!
