Keep each dinner under [MAX COOK TIME, e.g. 30 minutes] and our grocery spend near [WEEKLY BUDGET, e.g. 150]. We already have [WHAT'S IN THE KITCHEN, e.g. rice, eggs, frozen peas]. Reuse ingredients across meals so nothing goes to waste, and make one dinner big enough for leftovers. Show the plan by day first, then one combined shopping list grouped by store aisle, with amounts. Leave off anything we already have. When I say it's good, add the list to my grocery order in my connected app, and don't check out until I've reviewed it. ``` ## Step by step 1. Open Gemini, tap the left menu and choose Customize 2.
