We’ve all been there: it’s 6:00 PM, the workday is finally winding down, and you’re staring into a fridge that looks more like a graveyard of half-used condiments than a meal prep dream. Between managing projects and trying to keep a household running, the mental load of deciding what to eat can feel heavier than
