I'm looking to have tasty and balanced food while maintaining a reasonable budget and being more organised.
I know how to cook. I already have tasty yet not complicated meals I'm use to make but I never needed to be organised about it before.

So I decided to start to write menu in advance, do a some meal prepping probably a bit of batch cooking.
I found resources online to start following a plan but maybe you have advices for the beginner that I am.

Thank you!

Sorted food does a free trial. They have a bunch of meal packs. 3 dishes scaled to however many people you're cooking for that share ingredients. The app even has a grocery list. You could go through, grab the recipes and grocery lists that look good, then cancel. I believe one of their goals is to save you enough money that it's worth paying them.

I'm a food nerd, and use it weekly. Mostly for the grocery list. Pick a pack that sounds good, grab the grocery list, and know that I have 3 meals worth of food. The recipes I've tried have been solid, but mostly I just look at the ingredients that are sitting there and make something. It forces me into verity, instead of just grabbing the same shit at the store every time.
