Turns out I am a Flexible Planner. This makes a lot of sense. I usually meal plan by figuring out what I have in my fridge/cupboard that I really need to use up first. Then I decide on recipes that use those ingredients and take note if any new ingredients for those meals may leave me with extras (this happens often for herbs or veggies that come in bigger portions). Those excess ingredients then guide me to picking additional recipes for the week. I try to prep as much food as I can on the weekends, but always prioritize recipes that use up end-of-life ingredients first.
