I’ve visited Tasty Planner before, but never signed up—well, today was the day. I’ve been looking for a great website or app that will allow me to add recipes, sync with my calendar and provide grocery lists and menus. It’s harder to find than you might think! (Any suggestions are welcome, by the way.)

Some final thoughts after using it to plan a couple days of menus:

  • It seems a little static—there’s not much user activity, which is too bad. It definitely does not have the community feel that AllRecipes or Tasty Kitchen have.
  • Adding recipes is easy and quick. I added recipes from other sites that I’ve had my eye on because I couldn’t find any right away on Tasty Planner that appealed to me.
  • Once you’ve added a recipe, you can either add it to your Meal Planner or to your Recipe Box. I added mine to my Meal Planner, because I knew exactly what days I wanted to make which recipes.
  • The Meal Planner syncs with iCal! That makes the website completely worth using to me.
  • The Shopping List print-out is fairly accurate, easy to read and makes grocery shopping so much easier (and cheaper).

Do you have any favorite tech-y methods for saving recipes and creating menus?
