The hardest part of dinner isn't cooking. It's opening a recipe, counting past six ingredients, and closing the tab before you've even started.
That's 'ingredient fatigue'βand it drains your battery before you even step foot in the kitchen.
The Default Grocery List fixes this with the 3-2-1 formula: 3 proteins, 2 bases, 1 sauce. Six items on your list, and that's three dinners handled β no recipe, no ingredient list required.
Your kitchen is exactly one grocery trip away from feeling handled. Grab the free default starter kit to stock your shelves this weekend.

The No-Brainer Weeknight:
"I printed this list and took it to the store on Sunday. By Wednesday, I hadn't stood at the fridge wondering what to make β not once."

The Mental Energy Saver:
"I didn't realize how much of my dinner stress actually started at the grocery store. Now I follow the list, and dinner's already decided before I even get home."
β Madison S.

I never loved cooking. After years of overthinking meals and defaulting to cereal or whatever required the least amount of brainpower, I realized a simple truth: dinner itself isn't the hard partβfiguring out what to make every single night is.
I built this default list to solve that exact daily decision spiral. Now, I help busy people simplify their weeknights with a structured, low-energy approach that starts at the grocery store, not at 5:00 PM.
