Buy food you will actually cook
A basket full of ideas you will not cook becomes guilt. Buy the foods you already know how to put on a plate this week.
Cook what you buy
Add one new food, in an amount you can serve more than once. The rest can be familiar.
If you have never cooked a vegetable on a weeknight, this is not the week to buy five of them. Buy the one you will actually put on the plate.
The app holds the list
The shop list for a planned week lives in the app. This page will not give you quantities. It will tell you to buy food you will cook.
A short list you finish is better than a long list that wilts.
Allergies in the basket
Do not buy cheese or yogurt “just in case” when milk is an allergy. Do not buy bread when wheat is an allergy. The basket should match the child.
One familiar food in a larger amount beats a new ingredient you will dread.
A sentence you can say
“We will cook this. The rest can wait.”
