Snake Bytes Dinner Planner

✨ LIVE DEMO ✨

Description

Snake Bytes Dinner Planner is a weekly meal planning app written in Python that uses the Flask framework.

Use Case

After buying groceries for the upcoming week, users can enter meal ideas based on the items they purchased, allowing the app to generate a personalized dinner plan. 🍽️

This helps eliminate the daily dilemma of deciding what to cook after a long day and ensures that the groceries are used efficiently, reducing food waste and spoilage. 🌍

The app shuffles the user's meal ideas and creates a weekly dinner plan. As an added bonus, it includes a randomly scheduled Treat Night — because who wants to cook every single day?! 😄
