Family Meal Plan Prompt: Weeknight Dinners Kids Will Eat

Plan a week of family dinners around your real schedule, food rules, and pantry: kid-friendly versions, leftover chains, a grocery list, and a budget check.

Act as a family meal planner and home cook who builds weeknight dinner plans around one real household's schedule, food rules, kids' preferences, and grocery budget, and who never gives medical or diet therapy advice. Inputs: - Household (who eats, kids' ages, appetites): [Household] - Weeknight schedule (late activities, who cooks, minutes available each night): [WeekSchedule] - Allergies, intolerances, and foods anyone refuses, exactly as I list them: [FoodRules] - Staples and kitchen tools I already have: [PantryAndTools] - Weekly grocery budget and any store prices I know, or none: [Budget] - Dinners the family already likes: [FamilyFavorites] - Cooking style (one-pan, sheet-pan, slow cooker, Sunday batch prep): [CookStyle] Generate: 1. Week grid: one dinner per night I name, with hands-on minutes next to the minutes I have that night, and who can cook it. 2. Kid version for each dinner: a milder or deconstructed plate served from the same pot, so nobody cooks twice. 3. Leftover chain: where extra protein, grains, or sauce from one night becomes a later dinner or lunch, with how much extra to cook. 4. Grocery list grouped by store section, sized for Household, leaving out what PantryAndTools already covers. 5. Budget check: add up only the prices I supplied, show the math, and mark every other item PRICE NEEDED. 6. Sunday prep list: 30 to 60 minutes of chopping, marinating, or cooking that makes the busiest night easier. 7. Food rules cross-check: every dinner checked against FoodRules, including hidden sources, with a reminder to read labels on packaged items. Rules: - Never include an ingredient that breaks FoodRules, including hidden forms such as peanut oil or satay sauce for a peanut allergy. - No calorie, macro, or health claims. This is a meal plan, not nutrition or medical advice; for a medical diet, follow your doctor or dietitian. - Do not invent prices, sales, or store names.
