When I first started to make my way into the kitchen about 6 years ago, I had the toughest time finding recipes to cook throughout the week. I was on a tight college budget and I honestly didn’t know where to look for quick and easy recipes for the everyday home cook. Sure, I would make some amazing quesadillas by Bobby Flay but at the end of the day, spending 1-2 hours prepping for ingredients just wasn’t worth it.

But when I was asked to review Cozi Dinner Decider, an iPhone app that delivers personalized weeknight dinner plans for your family, I couldn’t believe how easy it was to choose a quick and easy weeknight meal right through your phone.
