Meal Planning was developed to help you adjust ingredient portions and make a shopping list for multiple menu items and events.

There are five tabs.
The first tab is to list menu items.
The second tab is to list ingredients for a menu item for a number of people. When you click on a menu item and click on the "Select Menu Item" button (on the first tab), this menu item is added to the third tab where you enter the number of people to feed that menu item for a particular event.
The fourth tab displays the adjusted list of ingredients for each menu item (the application considers the number of people to feed and the number of people fed by the set of ingredients on the second tab).
The fifth tab sorts and consolidates all ingredients so that all meats are together, all vegetables are together, etc. The application has a default list of hundreds of ingredients and you can add your favorites using the Ingredients Maintenance file menu pick.
There is also a Session Notes sheet that you can use to take notes . Printing is supported for session notes, tab five (Extended Ingredients) and tab six (Shopping List).

There is a Help file menu pick that provides additional user information. This utility was written in REALbasic and is freeware.
