πΊπΈ Marine Veteran-Owned Business πΊπΈ
As a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who served our country and now serves the kitchen, I'm excited to share my latest mission accomplishment!
Doc Bear's Comfort Kitchen - my AI-powered food inventory and recipe management app - just launched on Android (v1.7.5) and soon to iOS App Stores! π±
Born from 30+ years in hospitality management and a passion for reducing food waste, this app helps military families and veterans:
β
Track what's in your pantry/fridge
β
Find recipes using ingredients you already have
β
Scan barcodes from 80+ countries (great for our overseas veterans!)
β
Import recipes from TikTok/social media with AI
β
Scale recipes intelligently for family size
β
Manage shopping lists and save money
Why it matters to our community: Many of us learned resourcefulness in the Corps - this app brings that same "make it work with what you have" mentality to the kitchen. Perfect for veterans transitioning to civilian life, military families on a budget, or anyone wanting to waste less food and discover new meals.
Available on Google Play Store and soon in the Apple App Store - search "Doc Bear's Comfort Kitchen"
