Plan tonight’s dinner from what’s in the fridge
The problem: You’re hungry, the fridge is random, and you don’t want a 45-minute recipe rabbit hole.
Do this
- List 4–8 ingredients you actually have.
- Paste the prompt into your AI.
- Pick one recipe you can finish in 30 minutes.
Copy-paste
I have these ingredients: [LIST].
Suggest 3 dinner options I can cook in 30 minutes or less.
For each: name, time, missing pantry staples (salt/oil/etc. only), and 5 numbered steps.
Prefer one-pan or one-pot. No fancy techniques.
I dislike: [OPTIONAL].
Done when: You’ve chosen one meal and know the steps.
Tip: If a suggestion needs something you don’t have, reply: “Only use what I listed plus salt, oil, and pepper.”
