    1. I got tired of wasting groceries and spending $30 on DoorDash, so I coded a free tool that turns fridge leftovers into 15-min meals.How it works:1. You check off the ingredients you have (eggs, bread, tuna, garlic, whatever).2. It generates 15-minute chef recipes with exact portions and calories
