Akleh vs Saving Money, Make Cents

What should we cook today? Akleh helps with the question that comes back every day. SPIN THE WHEEL Can't decide? Spin the wheel and let it pick a dish for you. Like the pick? Open the recipe. If not, spin again: you get a few spins every day. RECIPES FROM HOME KITCHENS Levantine home cooking such as maqluba, musakhan, fatteh and mansaf, with photos and clear steps. Change the servings and the ingredient amounts adjust for you. SHARE YOUR DISH WITH BABOUR Babour, the little blue stove who lives in the app, asks one question at a time: what's it called, what kind of dish is it, what goes in it? That's enough to publish. Then add a photo, the steps, the details or the story behind the dish whenever you like. Each one lights another flame on Babour's crown. Your dish saves as a draft as you go, so you can come back to it later. PLAN YOUR WEEK Fill the week day by day, from your favorites or at random, and Akleh builds one shopping list sorted by aisle. Send it to whoever is doing the shopping. START WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT Spin, browse, save favorites, plan your week and start your own dish without signing up. You only need an account to publish, and everything you saved comes with you. YOUR DISHES IN ONE PLACE Favorites, the dishes you've published and the drafts still on the stove, all in one place under Me. Akleh. So you always know what's for dinner.

Do you ever open your wallet and feel like the cost of living is quietly squeezing you dry? You’re not alone. In just a few short years, Americans have watched everyday costs (housing, groceries, utilities, gas) skyrocket. Food inflation hit nearly 10% in 2022, with “food-at-home” prices (groceries) surging over 11% year-over-year, the steepest rise since 1979. And the pressure hasn’t let up. As of 2025, overall consumer prices are still climbing at about 2.9% year-over-year. Essential categories continue to bite hardest: grocery costs are up 2.7% in the past 12 months, dining out is up 3.9%, and utility bills like electricity and gas have soared nearly 30–40% higher compared to just a few years ago. Housing and rent remain among the top drivers of inflation, rising faster than many Americans’ incomes. What if you could reclaim control—without spreadsheets, without guesswork?
