Feature request: Allow on-the-fly meals in meal planner #420

Open EarMaster opened 3 months ago

What's the feature 🧐

When planning meals I love it that I can attach recipes to my planner meals. But a lot of times I just want it the other way around. I don't need and don't have a recipe for alot of meals, but I still would like to have them on the meal plan. These are simple meals (e.g. German Brotzeit) or if we plan to eat somewhere else. It would be great to just have a text input for the meal planner that would allow me to add a custom text to the planner meals.

Extra information and references

I know that I could create a recipe for these meals, but as I said there usually is no recipe at all attached to this meals. I could live with adding recipe stubs for simple meals, but if we're invited to eat at a friend's house I don't like the idea of Eating at Frank's as a recipe...
