I’m a college student and am trying to get into meal prepping/cooking, but I face two main problems.
(1) Finding actually good recipes is hard:
- So, I use all of Hellofresh's recipes since they are pretty ideal for home chefs, but on their website you can’t filter by what you want.
- On my website you can filter by ingredients you want to use, difficulty, prep time, cuisine, dietary restrictions, and a lot more.
(2) Ingredient waste
- I would try out a good recipe, but one of the ingredients would be like chicken broth which I will have a lot left over and goes bad in a week. So I end up having to throw out the rest of the chicken broth
- I created an algorithm that recommends recipes with overlaps in perishable bulk ingredients (so something you can buy individually, like onions, don’t overlap but something like chicken broth would)
Would appreciate any feedback! The website link is https://freshlyapp.vercel.app/planner

Looks great! Do you have a specific spot for feedback? I could not find one. One thing I noticed is I got duplicate recipes recommended (one with protein and one without), maybe add a filter to not suggest duplicates?
Do you buy pre-made chicken broth?
Better idea, buy a can of broth powder.
I have one for beef and one for chicken. Lasts **months**!
mix with hot water and BOOM,, instant broth!
This is solid, I like it.
Thanks for making it.
Now create a site that has all the meals available for the week with better filters. Like let me filter by my favorites!
