Some weeks, it feels like my kids have joined a secret club where the rules change daily. Yesterday’s “favorite meal ever” is today’s “no way.” I swear they’re testing my stamina one dinner at a time.

Instead of spending another night playing What Will They Refuse Now?, I decided to get some help. I asked ChatGPT to come up with meal ideas that might actually survive the ever-shifting kid taste test. Turns out, having an AI sidekick in the kitchen is a lot more fun—and way less stressful—than trying to read my kids’ minds.

Prompt That Changed My Week

Honestly, I got tired of playing the guessing game and cooking meals that were rejected on sight—just because they “looked weird.”

So I asked ChatGPT for help. I typed in:

To make your prompt even more powerful, include any special preferences (like “gluten-free,” “vegetarian,” or “seasonal ingredients”) so AI can tailor the plan exactly to your family’s needs.

3-Minute AI Win
