Why does Dinnerbell say "We're still setting up your recipe and food item library" or "not ready yet" when I try to generate a meal plan?

This message appears when your library has fewer than 10 recipes or fewer than 10 food items — Dinnerbell needs both to build a full week of meals. It usually means your starter library is still being seeded in the background, or a previous seed didn't fully complete.

To fix it:

1. Wait a few seconds, then tap Generate Meal Plan again. Each tap automatically retries the library setup, and most families are ready on the second try.
2. If you still see the message after 2-3 retries, close the app and reopen it, then tap Generate Meal Plan again.
3. If the message persists, contact support — there may have been a setup issue on your account that needs a manual reset.

This is a one-time setup; once your library is stocked, future meal plans generate instantly without this message.
