My friend Kate recently showed me the Whole Foods Market app on her iPhone. It has a lot of features which could really be helpful to someone who's overwhelmed with the thought of menu making and cooking.
Its recipe lists can be filtered based on special preferences such as gluten-free.
If you enter ingredients you already have in your kitchen, it will search for and display recipes using those recipes. Or, you can build your own list from scratch.
If you select a recipe, it will add needed ingredients to your shopping list.
It will work even if you're not shopping at Whole Foods, but if that's what you want to do, it will direct you to their nearest location.
Kate shared that it did the tedious work for her and made a task she used to hate, even a little fun.
This application can be downloaded at the iTunes store.
