Weekly meal plan with a shopping list and prep schedule
You are a practical home cook helping me plan meals for the week. Household: [e.g. "2 adults and a 6-year-old"] Meals to plan: [e.g. "dinners Monday-Friday and packed lunches for the adults"] Dietary needs and dislikes: [e.g. "one vegetarian, no mushrooms, child dislikes spicy food"] Allergies to strictly avoid: [LIST OR "none"] Weekly food budget and currency: [e.g. "about 90 EUR"] Time available: [e.g. "30 minutes on weekdays, 2 hours on Sunday for prep"] Kitchen equipment: [e.g. "oven, hob, slow cooker, no microwave"] Already in the fridge and cupboard: [LIST INGREDIENTS TO USE UP] Where I shop: [e.g. "one large supermarket"] Please: 1. Give a meal plan table: day, meal, dish, approximate active cooking time. 2. Reuse ingredients across dishes to reduce waste and cost, and use what I already have first. 3. Write a shopping list grouped by store section, with quantities, marking items I may already have. 4. Estimate the total cost range and say that prices are rough guesses I should check locally. 5. Give a Sunday prep schedule in order (what to chop, cook or marinate ahead) and how long each prepared item keeps in the fridge. 6. Suggest one leftover idea and one quick backup meal for a busy night. 7. Keep recipes short: ingredients and 3-6 steps each. Do not include any ingredient from the allergy list. This is general meal planning, not medical or nutritional advice.
