My wife and I need to find a good app that we can both use to schedule meals, appointments, other things.  
She is big on paper, me on computer.  
We’ve come to the realization that a magnetic board with movable tiles for regular dinner items and such is not going to work because you couldn’t do months in advance that way.  
I love the idea of an app that is scalable to a phone, tablet, and computer. That means that it probably needs to be browser based if there isn’t a companion Windows app.  
It doesn’t need to be a calendar app with details down to the minute, but that might be what we need to be able to schedule medical appointments and such.  
I think a shared Google calendar would work, but am certainly open to other ideas.  
Does anyone else have an idea or a way that you schedule events for your family?

First of all, I thought you were starting to have kids. Not a calender. 🤦🏼‍♀️

As for your actual question, we use Google calendar as the scheduling app, and then looked for a recipe/meal app that would let me share the meal plan to my Google calendar. I was using Pepper plate but now they want money and I’m cheap. But I’m sure there are other out there that do the same thing if you too are cheap.

I’m not cheap, but when we were out yesterday she bought a new paper calendar for the kitchen. I guess we’re sticking with paper.

Thanks, though.
