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 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!

        Native feature

        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).
