A weekly meal planner that knows who is cooking

Lay the week out one day at a time. Each night gets a recipe from the household's book and a name next to it, so 'what's for dinner' and 'who's making it' are answered before anyone asks.

Because the planner reads from the recipe book and writes to the grocery list, the shopping trip follows from the plan rather than from memory.

• Day-by-day plan for the week.
• Pick meals from the household's Recipes app.
• Assign who is cooking each night.
• Send the week's ingredients to the shared Grocery List.

Families who plan dinners once a week and split the cooking.
