A Mealime alternative that picks the week for you
Mealime closes October 21. Most of the apps replacing it hand you an empty recipe box. nGuten plans the week for you: dinners from 350+ food blogs, all rated 4.5 stars and up, and the grocery list to match.
nGuten is an automatic weekly meal planner that builds a personalized week of real recipes from trusted food blogs.
