Recipes, Meal Planning, and Shopping List (lemm.ee)

Does anyone self-host any recipe/meal planner/shopping list software? I've been looking at Tandoor or Mealie but I am not too sure which one will best serve my needs. I would really like to be able to go through my saved recipes, easily plan out a weeks worth of meals and have that exported to a shopping list of some kind.

Most of the discussion I could find online appears to be somewhat dated (2-3 years) and I know that can be a long time for some projects. Does anyone host either if these two programs and if so, which one did you choose and why? I'm open to any other projects that may be better for my use case. It would only be used on my located network and maybe accessed via tailscale occasionally. I'm fairly new to self-hosting but this is one thing that my partner was excited about. Thanks in advance!

I tried both tandoor and mealie for recipe management and felt a little better about mealie, mostly because tandoor seemed to have more focus on shopping list and other things, and I didn't want that at the time. Both are pretty easy to spin up on docker through a compose file.

Mealie is great for recipe management and the UI is nice. Tandoor was good also, but the UI felt less nice. (All personal preference).

Right now, I do grocery lists through listionic (I think) because i had it already and it handles oddball lists (gift ideas for s.o., gift ideas for kid, hardware store, etc). I do meal planning through a whiteboard with days of the week. I have four of them I rotate through.

I've been leaning towards mealie because I like the UI (ar least what I've seen from static images). Thanks for sharing your experience.

I am also looking for a note/list app too so I will definitely be checking that one out.

Sadly listionic is not self hosted. I haven't yet found a self hosted shopping list app that can handle many lists without resorting to playing with aisles or similar. I don't want a tag that says "wife, don't look"
