FEATURE: Scheduled Menu

[TheMagicNacho]

Description

It would be super duper cool if the server can schedule meals across a calandar. This way the user can generate a shopping list for a slice of time (day, week, month).

Justification

This type of workflow is what I use in my household, where we schedule meals out for the week then generate the shopping list from there. The manual method is error prone and time consuming.

Leveraging the cook lang server will save time and reduce food waste.

Examples

The schedule editor allows you to see a list of recipes and drag them to a date.

Use Cases

• [ ] As a user, I want to schedule meals using recipes that I already have in my database.
• [ ] As a user, I want to generate a shopping list for a given series of time.
• [ ] As a user, I want to see a menu for my desired time slice (day, week, month, custom)
• [ ] As an administrator, I want the meal schedule to persist even if the server shuts down.
• [ ] As a developer, I want the menu capability exposed as an API for further development.

I've started working on a prototype for this feature. I'm building this out for a use case for my home, not sure if the community would also benefit from this I can merge into the main project.
