# Recipe, meal plan and shopping apps for your kitchen

For your own kitchen, Mousepad can make a recipe box that scales servings, a weekly dinner board that adds up the ingredients, a fridge list sorted by what expires first, or a dough calculator for the loaf you're baking. Each template here works in its preview; clone one and ask for your own recipes, units or layout.

## Questions

**Can I put our own family recipes in the recipe cards?**

Yes. Type them into the app, or paste them into the chat and ask Mousepad to add them. Each card already scales its ingredients to the servings you choose and lets you tick off steps as you cook.

**Can the dinner board plan lunches as well?**

Ask for it in the chat, like “add a lunch row to each day” or “let me plan two weeks at a time”, and Mousepad changes the board. As it comes, it plans a meal for each weekday, filters meals by cooking time and adds up the ingredients you need.

**What does the dough calculator work from?**

The flour weight and the hydration, salt and starter percentages you set. It shows each ingredient in grams and the total dough weight. Ask Mousepad if your bread needs more, like seeds or a second flour.

**Can the shopping list follow my store's aisles?**

Yes. Aisle by aisle groups each item under the aisle you give it, with its quantity, and shows what's left to buy in each aisle as you check things off.
