On Meal Planning
- why planning family meals still turns into a weekly chore
- the friction between wanting variety, using what we already have, and keeping dinners realistic on busy days
- how Paprika already helps by keeping our recipes in one place
- what Paprika does well for collecting, saving, and reusing recipes
- where the actual planning step still feels manual, repetitive, and easy to put off
- the gap between a recipe library and an actual week of meals
- the idea for a meal planner app that works with my Paprika recipes instead of replacing them
- what I would want it to do: suggest a week, balance easy and harder meals, and help turn a plan into a shopping list
