Hey, I was thinking about how to organize a weekly meal plan that respects family traditions but still saves time and money—like a little spreadsheet for the kitchen. What’s your take on the most efficient way to do that?

Realist: Set up a simple sheet with columns for day, meal, ingredients, cost, prep time. Add a row for recurring family dishes and another for quick swaps. Use a pivot table to see total weekly cost and prep time. Batch cook the heavy‑lifting meals on the weekend and store portions. Stick to a fixed weekly template—makes it easy to adjust only the numbers, not the whole plan. That keeps traditions intact while cutting waste and time.

That sounds like a solid, practical framework—exactly what the kitchen needs. Maybe add a “treat” column for one unexpected dish each week; that way the routine still feels fresh and the family gets a little surprise in their tradition.
