Request for a dinner plan

[johnnyfaddo]

Hi,
I would love a module that connects to some kind of app and can see what we plan to have for dinner each night given that it is filled in etc.
I have tried both of the modules that should be capable of doing this (MMM-PaprikaMenu - Wanted me to sign up for premium, didn’t seem to work any other way and MMM-Airtable - Just didn’t work. I think its because Airtable have stopped using API token, but not 100%)
Thanks

I don’t know if this will work for you but I’ve set up a google calendar called “Dinner Menu” that I use for planning meals for the week. I enter an all-day event for each day with the main dish and, occasionally, sides. Actually, I mostly duplicate previous events as I’ve put the ingredients in the description for most of the meals to help with planning the weekly shopping.

I’m now setting up a MagicMirror and am using an instance of the stock calendar module to list the next 7 days of dinners. (One of the primary reasons for setting this up is to get my son to stop asking “What’s for dinner” every day.)

Here’s what it looks like on the MM:

Actually, that’s from a few days ago; I got rid of the icon on the left for a cleaner look. So far, it’s pretty much solved the problem and it’s not even properly set up yet.

I haven’t looked into recipe modules yet; I might look for a calendar module that can show the description for an event to show today’s meal and the comments I’ve entered for it (usually a list of ingredients) but that’s down the road.
