Today I wanted to share some information on recipe apps and how they can help you plan those healthy dinners when you are short on time. Reviews.com is a great resource for finding the perfect recipe apps, and has made it easier for you. You can take the extra time now for creating the best meals for you and the family to enjoy. Here’s some information I liked to share from them:
Making healthy choices in the world of cooking isn’t always an easy task. Most people have little time in their busy lives to figure out the nutritional information of the meals they make. Luckily, that is where a recipe app could be your new best friend. Because of the vast amount of recipe apps on the market, the team at Reviews.com spent several weeks looking at all of the best recipe apps in order to help simplify the cooking process and discover the most efficient tools possible.
Their top picks were four recipe apps: Allrecipes Dinner Spinner, Food Network – In the Kitchen, Yummly, and Paprika Recipe Manager.
Who’s Number One?
The overall best app was named Allrecipes Dinner Spinner, and with good reason. This app has an active community and countless recipes to search and create. The most important piece is that meal searches can even be made based on dietary needs and preferences. Staying away from Gluten? What about dairy? No problem, just adjust the filters. The serving size can also be adjusted based on family needs, and all the calorie and nutritional information is provided. This app was found best for those who like to cook at home and want feedback. Talk about accountability! Eating out can be a great getaway, but healthy, nutritional meals are often best served at home.
And The Runner-up Is…
While those four apps above were decidedly the best, there are a few others that are worthy of mention. Among the runners-up are: BigOven and Basil. Basil was found to be similar to the Paprika Recipe Manager, but is not a top pick because, although it works well, it costs $5. Again, BigOven didn’t make the top picks because it has a yearly membership fee of $20. Paying for something nice is not the issue here, but it comes as a downside when there are other similar apps that can be downloaded for free.
What’s The Big Idea?
Anyone who focuses on their health and fitness knows one thing; it always starts in the kitchen. Working out for 30 minutes everyday simply will not be as effective as it could be if nutritional meals don’t accompany it. Accountability is another important factor; who knew a recipe app could provide that?
When finding what app works best for personal use, there is one more important consideration. Reviews.com found there are two main categories of recipe apps: Those that help keep your recipe’s organized, and those that help you get inspired. Examining lifestyle, skill-level and personal needs are helpful when picking which app to use.
