About Just Tell Me What To Cook!
Dinner shouldn't be a project. You’re tired. You're hungry. Your brain has 47 tabs open, and none of them are "what to make with two eggs and a sad zucchini." Welcome to Just Tell Me What to Cook!—the app for people who are physically, mentally, and emotionally done with traditional recipe blogs. We stripped away the 2,000-word essays about Tuscany and the 15 pop-up ads to give you exactly what you need: a plan. How it works (if you can even call it "work"): Vent to your phone: Just say what’s in your fridge. "I've got chicken, some spinach, and half a jar of pesto." We’ll do the mental math. Snap or Type: Too tired to talk? Take a photo of your pantry or type a quick list. Zero Fluff Recipes: Get clear, concise instructions designed for overwhelmed brains. No Accounts, No Stress: We don’t want your email. We just want you to eat. Your data stays on your device. Why you'll love it: ADHD-Friendly: Built to reduce decision fatigue and executive dysfunction. Minimalist Design: A clean interface that doesn't add to the sensory clutter. Just the Facts: We skip the "life stories" and go straight to the heat settings. Stop overthinking. Just start cooking. HOW IT WORKS • Tell us what's in your fridge (talk, snap a photo, or type) • Pick your energy level — from "can't be bothered" to "actually keen" • Get 2-3 meal ideas that match what you've got and how you're feeling • Tap for simple steps, tweak ingredients, or regenerate if nothing hits BUILT FOR REAL LIFE No accounts. No saved data. No judgement if dinner is cheese on toast. This isn't for people who batch-cook on Sundays. It's for the rest of us — the ones who forget to defrost things, buy ingredients with good intentions, and regularly discover it's 6pm again. Voice, photo, or text. Whatever's easiest. We'll figure it out together.
