Decisive Wife is a meal planning app that will help answer the never ending question of “What should we have for dinner?”. If you are anything like my wife and I this is a weekly struggle that is literally inevitable. This app will take all the stress of making those decisions away. First you gather all of your favorite dinner options and put them into the dinner ideas list. You can fill out your weekly meal plan as it suits your needs and then when you are indecisive or unsure of what to make you are able to randomize your dinner options to help you figure out what you are truly in the mood for. From there you can then make a shopping list based on your dinner ideas within the app. If you want to further utilize the app you can type in recipes. If you want to make sure you are mixing up the types of meals that you have each week (like my wife and I try to do) you can create different labels for each kind of meal. For example we try to have one quick and easy meal for our shopping days, a chicken meal, a beef meal, and a vegetarian meal a week. All of the recipes can be assigned a specific tag for each of these categories and you can randomize a meal slot with just the choices within that category. Now all you need to get out of her is what you want to watch on Netflix.
