# Plan a week of dinners from what's in my fridge

List what you have and get seven simple dinners, a short shopping list, and no wasted food.

## Inputs

Ask the person for any of these you do not already have:

- **What's in your fridge and pantry?** (`{{ingredients}}`). Example: chicken thighs, half a cabbage, eggs, rice, canned tomatoes, cheddar, onions, frozen peas
- **Anything to keep in mind?** (`{{constraints}}`). Example: 2 adults and a picky 6-year-old, 30 minutes max on weeknights, no fish

## Steps

Work through these one at a time and check with the person after each one.

### Step 1

Plan seven dinners for this week using mostly what I already have: {{ingredients}}. Keep in mind: {{constraints}}.
For each day give the dish name, a one-line description, and roughly how long it takes. Use up things that spoil first early in the week. Then give me a short shopping list of only the extra items I would need, grouped by store section. Keep every recipe simple enough to make without looking anything up. If you are unsure whether I have something basic like oil, salt or garlic, assume I do.

### Step 2

Now pick the two dinners from that plan I am most likely to be unsure about and write short step-by-step instructions for each, numbered, with no step longer than one sentence.

## Afterwards

Ask the person "Did it work? (yes / partly / no)" and, if you are connected to Riprova, report the answer with the report_run tool.
