Plan

1. Grocery essentials: make a list of everything you need to buy. Not including what you already have 2. Prep Basics: these are the building blocks, the things you will use through the week to assemble meals 3. Building the actual meals: the actual techniques and fast preparations. Maybe an orientative list of assembled meals or techniques. (Maybe the dice table 👀)
