    The App looks like it is easy to personalize. The chicken looks yummy, I will have to check out the recipe.

      Yeah it is. I'm not normally a fan of apps like these, I don't like "extra steps" but this one saves me about 3 steps and money....so I am a believer LOL. Check out the 10 day free trial and $10 coupon linked above

    What a wonder app! The fact that it can generate an efficient grocery shopping list for you is Amazing. I'm usually the one walking back and fourth trying to grab everything on my list. To me the hardest part of cooking is trying to decide what recipe is next, I'm so indecisive. Meal planning would make it easier for me. Great video!

    • @Thepinkenvelope
      @Thepinkenvelope  4 роки тому

      Yes!!!! And I was meal planning on Pinterest then trying to place those items on a separate app to shop from. But I kept losing the dang recipes on Pinterest and wasting ingredients which lead me to PlateJoy and OMG THIS HAS BEEN MY SAVING GRACE!!!

      Yes! The 1st time takes a bit more set up but then you are done. They literally just emailed me this week's meals for me to mark as love or don't love. IT IS SO NICE!!!!!

  • @3NFamilyFun
    @3NFamilyFun 4 роки тому +2

    Ok I loved this review! Love how you can pick meals, mark off what is in you pantry and then it generates a
    Grocery list. And it was in the order of how a grocery store is set up?? Amazing! I have a PUPER PICKY kids but I am going to try this out. Your meal looks delicious 😋

    • @Thepinkenvelope
      @Thepinkenvelope  4 роки тому

      3N Family Fun put in all their pickiness into the app & let PlateJoy do the work. I also substitute. So once we got a Hawaiian Turkey Burger recipes that I totally made with beef & it was 👏👏👏

    • @Thepinkenvelope
      @Thepinkenvelope  4 роки тому

      Yes, I feel like meal planning gets so hard once during School because I don't want to do it on the weekends and once the week starts its go go go. This app literally just emailed me my recipes for the week to give a thumbs up or down on. It is SO FREAKING NICE!!!!!

    • @Thepinkenvelope
      @Thepinkenvelope  4 роки тому

      Us too and then we got a grocery app and that helped some but this is the 1st thing that has actually made a big difference. Saving time and money plus we don't have to eat all the same boring things over and over. I'm not good in the creative cooking dept.

    • @Thepinkenvelope
      @Thepinkenvelope  4 роки тому

      I'm not normally a fan of things like this. I don't like additional steps but it didn't take me long to realize that this 1 "additional" steps really saves me about 3 other steps + money. LOL. So I jumped on board quick. In fact, I just received my email letting me know my meal ideas for this week are ready *clap*clap* for this

    • @Thepinkenvelope
      @Thepinkenvelope  4 роки тому

      Thumbs Up Kids Kids always eat pancakes, waffles, bagels or cereal. I drink a cup of coffee. Lunch is my 1st meal each day. And yes, now that you can easily log in on a computer, phone & tablet, it’s soooo nice & makes things soooo easy.

    Hello! This app is awesome! I have a question though, does the app allow you to shop for a week's/month's worth of meals planned?

    • @Thepinkenvelope
      @Thepinkenvelope  3 роки тому

      Yes you can! You decide how many meals to add to your menu!

  • @TheCHRISCaPWN
    @TheCHRISCaPWN 4 роки тому +1

    So we started this just this week, and it is great! Or only issue is that we're eat all 3 meals per day, but for some reason it only did breakfast for 2 days, lunch for 2 days, and dinner for 5 days... How do we get it to calculate for 7 days for all 3 meals?! I haven't looked at the web page on a computer, but I cannot figure it out from inside the app. 🤷‍♂️

    • @Thepinkenvelope
      @Thepinkenvelope  4 роки тому +1

      Hey, so if you are on the app, go to New Menu (with the + sign) at the bottom. Select the 1st option Edit Number of Meals, there you choose. So if for Breakfast you choose 3 recipes, that will be enough food for 6 days. Same with Lunch & Dinner. Now why they stop at 6 meals, I don't know LOL but they do. Then you can choose Batch Meals, 3 batch meals is 12 lunches/dinners. Hope this helps!

    Doing the trial now... the meals look gross and no sides for most 😳 idk what I’m doing wrong

    • @Thepinkenvelope
      @Thepinkenvelope  3 роки тому

      Hi, I'm not sure why the meal would look gross. I am no cook at all, and I have made a bunch of the Platejoy meals and although they don't look like a chef's plate, the food just looks like food. And when their is a main dish that doesn't have a side, I made veggies or potatoes. Something simple and fast. I wish I was a better cook so I could help you.
