PM Kitchen

Turn what's actually in the fridge and 90 minutes on Sunday into a week that mostly feeds itself — a cook-once-eat-thrice batch plan, the component method (bases, proteins, sauces that recombine so leftovers don't bore you), honest food-safety day-counts flagged, and the Thursday problem solved in advance. Use when someone says 'meal prep my week', 'what do I cook with what I have', 'we spend too much on takeaway', or 'I'm sick of eating the same thing four days'. Produces the Sunday cook plan, the recombination map, and the shopping delta.

Decide what to cook tonight from what you already have and how much time/energy you've got — no shopping trip, no recipe rabbit hole. Use when asked what should I make for dinner, what can I cook with what's in my fridge, quick dinner ideas, or I don't know what to eat. Produces 3 doable options ranked by effort with a quick method for each, honest substitutions, and a 'need one thing' flag if a near-miss is worth a corner-shop run — respecting diets and dislikes.

Find where the food money actually goes — a no-shame ledger built from real receipts/statements, the four leak categories (waste, convenience markup, brand autopilot, the takeaway blur), a per-leak fix with realistic savings ranges, and a target budget that survives real life. Use when someone says 'we spend how much on food?!', 'audit my grocery spending', 'cut our food bill', or takeaway guilt is the household argument. Produces the ledger, the leak report, and a keep-the-joy budget.
