Quick Meals Questions

Common questions about fast weeknight dinners

Do you show time estimates?

Yes. AI suggestions and quick recipe flows are designed to keep time estimates visible so you can choose meals that fit the night.

Can I add my own recipes?

Yes. Import links, share social posts, or scan a recipe card so your fastest meals are easy to save and reuse.

Does it build a grocery list?

Yes. The grocery list comes from your plan, which makes it easier to shop once instead of improvising every evening.

Can it help me use ingredients I already have at home?

Yes. Ingredient-based discovery is useful when you want the fastest possible answer from what is already in the fridge or pantry.

Is it only for dinner?

No. You can plan quick breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, then adjust the week when your schedule changes.
