2. Yummly Recipes & Recipe Box

Trying your best to adhere to a diet plan this new year? Yum is here to help! This app couldn’t be more personalized. Start out by completing your profile. Yum asks you to select your gender, age, favorite types of cuisine and whether you have any food allergies or special dietary needs. If you can’t tolerate gluten or dairy, you won’t see recipes including these ingredients. Sticking to the paleo diet this year?  Let Yummly know so you can achieve your diet goals with ease. It’s like having your own “smart chef” at home, except you still need to do the cooking!
