I am using home assistant as the trigger, telling mealie to add random meal plans for X amount of days. One for a dinner and two sides.
All that is left is to have mealie’s rules set up a little better, or perhaps tag food in new ways i haven’t thought of yet.
either way, who else out there is enjoying having mealie take some decision paralysis off their hands?
I just ran across this. It might be of interest in conjunction with Mealie: https://github.com/GerardPolloRebozado/social-to-mealie

this looks cool!
one thing i had found a while back was a way to translate the shopping list into a kroger cart
man wouldn’t that save just a bit of time!
translate the shopping list into a kroger cart
I’ve always had this idea for an app. Most all major grocery stores publish their sales online. I’ve always thought it would be cool if you could have an app that imported these published sales, matched that up with your grocery list, and even gave you a route from store to store so you could efficiently shop. I’m pretty sure my lady friend isn’t the only person that shops multiple stores based on good sales.
mealie needs nutritional data for the recipes.
I love this software. I started self hosting it as a way to make grocery lists easier for my family.
So far I don’t have many recepies in it yet. We are planning to add a lot of regular meals to it to have a list to pick from easier.
I’m not quite sure what rules you mean to tighten up.
It works fine for general planning. There’s even a random button if you just don’t want to choose.
I have a jank home assistant automation that adds my meal plans into my Google Calendar as well.
So far we’ve just been using it manually to plan meals and go shopping, I hadn’t thought about having it automatically choose meals.
I mostly use it to track (and tweak) recipes that are safe for me with my food allergies, and from that perspective its great. Despite having all kinds of options to OCR recipes, import them, whatever, my wife just… hasn’t bothered.
So I haven’t really used the meal planner yet, I need to get her using it more often :)
options to OCR recipes
Is this in app, or an add-on or something? Haven’t seen it, have been using Mealie for a while, this would be awesome!
Works with any openai compatible endpoint, I use local ollama on an m2 mac mini (I still need to move things over to llama.cpp fully on there). It can also do audio transcriptions for a video, though I only use it for images (usually a screenshot of something my wife got sent by a friend that came from instagram or whatever).
Ah, thanks, never even really looked further than AI.
