So helpful! Has revolutionized my approach to cooking/groceries and empowered me to grow! One thing that I would love to see is the ability to add your own notes to saved recipes. "Husband thought it needed more seasoning", "Add extra beans", "Great leftovers!" etc. Would be very helpful when you make a recipe again. Absolutely terrific app 👍🏼

I love this app for its recommendations on food and the ability to find low cost meals per serving. Price checking with local Walmarts is an added benefit. I would have given SideChef 5 stars with the pantry sync and ability to find recipes based on ingredients you currently have. However I have run into one bug so far and that is the meal planning not loading at all. Adding name brand items to your pantry can be a pain but all that matters truly is that you know they are there.

this app is great like super great. yes, the community can contribute recipes but the option of suggesting recipe depending on your pantry, your preferences is amazing. can i suggest making an alternative if an ingredient isnt available. like hoisin sauce to oyster sauce etc
