Mission
Dinner Dash
What we're building
A simple, fast website that organizes quick, family-friendly recipes for people on the go — searchable and filterable by cook method and time (crockpot, fast stovetop, 30 minutes or less) so dinner decisions take seconds, not scrolling. Warm and welcoming to anyone with a busy weeknight: parents, students, singles, caregivers.
Current focus — MVP (live)
The first working version is built and published: a mobile-first recipe site with 24 genuinely quick recipes in four categories — Crockpot (6), Stovetop in a Hurry (6), 30 Minutes or Less (overlapping, minute-based), and Breakfast for Dinner (6, incl. a sausage & hash brown casserole) — with instant filtering, search, a simple ingredients + steps view per recipe, and a grocery list feature (add recipes → one combined, de-duplicated, aisle-grouped, checkable shopping list saved on-device).
