Before you go

Save the few plates that fit your shopping list, then assign them to different nights before buying ingredients. A skillet, a casserole, a soup, and one make-ahead bowl usually give a week enough contrast. Follow the individual cards for amounts and methods, and return to their nutrition panels if verified data is added. Keeping the protein choice visible first makes dinner planning more deliberate.
