what do you use for recipes? plain files? grocy? something else?
About 25-30 years ago, I converted the dining room of my house into a rather large food pantry. It’s just me, so I have little use for a dining room. So I use grocy & barcode buddy to track stock. When I bring in food stock it gets scanned in. When I consume food stock, it gets scanned out. I have an old Android tablet for the display and I have a hand scanner I bought off Amazon for $20. Actually works pretty well, and you can track stock levels. So if you are at the store, and there is a great sale on 50 lb sacks of flour, you can check stock and make a decision from there.
For recipes, I’ve been using CookTrace and I really like it. Mealie and CookTrace are pretty similar in a side by side comparison. I can bring recipes up on the Android tablet from the kitchen.
