Meals stay flexible
Add a meal idea in free text or choose a saved Recipe. Give it a date when the household knows the date and a local time when timing matters. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner buckets are not required.
Today’s timed meals lead, flexible plans remain visible, and anything that slipped can be rescheduled without pretending it happened.
Recipe fit is part of planning
A saved Recipe carries structured ingredients, servings, and conservative fit evidence from Food. Changing the target servings changes both ingredient quantities and the coverage calculation.
Covered, missing, and check-first states stay distinct. A household can verify an uncertain shelf item instead of rebuying it or discovering the gap mid-cook.
Groceries receive the confirmed gap
The grocery review consolidates items for the active list, preserves recipe choices, and groups confirmed purchases by household store sections. Existing Food should not appear as a missing item unless the evidence says it is unavailable or insufficient.
Checked items remain usable without a connection after the list loads. After shopping, put-away focuses on the exceptions that need a location, merge choice, or correction.
Planning ends at the stove
Starting cooking creates one active household session with pinned recipe steps and serving context. Guided steps, timers, and Chef stay tied to that meal. Completion records the meal and offers post-cook Food cleanup.
This closes the loop that many planners leave open: what was planned changes what remains in the kitchen.
