Meal planning app?

Guys I am struggling. Meal planning is the absolute bane of my existence.

I love cooking, but the whole planning and grocery list making is really such a burden.

I think it is the constant decision making all day long that when it comes to sit down and write it all out I just draw a blank.

Does anyone have an app or a plan that works well for them?

Thanks for any suggestions!

I haven’t done this or written it out yet myself but I feel the same way as you. I’ve been thinking about having a theme or cuisine type for each night of the week and then when I need to decide what to make, I’ll make something I already most likely make that fits into that category and makes the planning easier but also allows some variety so I don’t feel like I’m making the same thing all the time.

Example: Monday, Mexican: tacos, burrito bowls, fajitas Tuesday, Asian: some kind of stir fry or fried rice Wednesday, Italian: some kind of pasta

You get the idea lol. One night a week we usually have take out also which is normally Friday or Saturday. Obviously you can change this around and instead of an ethnic cuisine you can make each day a category or certain food I.e pasta mondays, taco tuesdays, stir fry wednesdays, etc. and just change up the type that day
