Dinner Wheel

Unlike a generic food picker, the Dinner Wheel names actual dishes: lasagna from the Italian side, ramen and stir-fry from the Asian side, souvlaki and falafel from the Mediterranean, plus tacos, roast chicken, paella and a veggie bowl. Landing on a concrete dish means you know exactly what to cook or order, with no second decision required.

A useful habit is to run this wheel at the weekly grocery shop rather than at 6 pm. Spin five times with repeats allowed and you have a rough dinner plan for the week; spin nightly and you get variety without anyone having to champion a choice. Swap in your own household staples so the wheel reflects what you actually cook.
