Common questions

Can AI make a meal plan from what's in my fridge?
Yes — list what you have, who's eating and how long you've got on weeknights, and you'll get a week of dinners plus a short top-up shopping list.
How do I stop cooking two dinners?
Deconstructed meals with one safe component work better than separate menus. The one-meal prompt builds a rotation around that idea.
