Here’s what I’m cooking for the family this week. This was also my first time using ChatGPT to plan out mean and I’m actually annoyed didn’t try this sooner!

CHATGPT PROMPT I USED

Can you plan out 3-4 meal ideas for the week. Family friendly (for toddler and baby, too). Easy meals that take less than 30 minutes to prepare/cook. High in protein, easy to assemble. No seafood or pork. One pasta based dish (using chickpea noodles). Maybe a taco/nacho night. Let’s do the meals, quick recipes and shopping list.
