I don't mean to belittle your app that unfortunately I can't try it since I don't have iOS.
We did solve the problem in a much easier way though. We do have 40 recipes we usually cycle through. I wrote them in a spreadsheet and marked them based on who can cook them, if it's brunch, lunch or dinner, quick or elaborate, summery or wintery.
Then in another sheet I just create a list of those recipes/dishes picked randomly based on the day of the month.
If we start the discussion "what do we eat tonight", I can just open the spreadsheet. 99% of the time proposing the option for that day on the sheet gives us closure and we're done.
