Meals

What this module is for​

Meals is the household planner for answering the daily question of what gets cooked and when. It is built around weekly planning, so families can look ahead, balance busy days, and turn a rough food plan into concrete shopping.

What people usually do here​

  • Fill the week with breakfast, lunch, dinner or custom meal ideas.
  • Drag meals around until the week fits appointments, leftovers and time constraints.
  • Repeat successful weeks or reuse individual ideas to reduce planning effort.
  • Export the ingredients for the planned meals directly to the shopping list.

How it connects to other modules​

  • Recipes supplies reusable recipes that can be dropped straight into the planner.
  • Shopping receives ingredient lists in one click.
  • Pantry complements meal planning by showing what is already in the house.
  • The dashboard can surface today's planned meal so the plan is visible without opening the module.

Good to know​

  • A day can hold more than one planned item, which helps with lunches, sides or batch-cooking.
  • The recipe sidebar keeps planning fast because you can browse and drag without leaving the page.
  • A week randomizer exists for households that want help filling an empty plan before adjusting it manually.
