Why does this work?
Naming the pantry first steers the plan towards using leftovers. The time limit and short steps keep the dishes practical.
Tips
- For allergies or medical diets, the plan does not replace advice from a doctor or dietitian.
- Ask for a version where one dish is cooked twice and reused the next day.
