Is your idea or proposal related to a problem? Please describe. It's a way to make the meal planning within the app much easier for common meals and weekly meal plans.

Describe your idea or proposal The basic idea is that there are regular meal patterns I follow. I often combine multiple recipes together into one meal that I often repeat. For example, I might regularly have Baked fish with roasted broccoli or whatever I usually combine into one full meal. It would be very nice to be able to build that "Meal" - not as a recipe, but a simple joining of multiple recipes to form a complete meal. Then when I'm planning meals for the week (or month) - I can choose a meal, instead of a sequence of recipes.

Similarly building a typical week's worth of recipes would be helpful - so you could use that as a basic template and add it the meal plan in one step instead of dozens of steps.

Additional context Nothing to add here.
