Last night, as my kids finished their third helping of mac and cheese this week, I hit my breaking point. My culinary creativity had flatlined. Instead of browsing recipe sites, I decided to let an AI take the wheel.
The Grand Experiment
I opened ChatGPT and typed: "Create a varied weekly menu for a family with two kids (5 and 8). Medium budget. Cook is lazy." The AI instantly generated dishes with recipes. Meatballs on Wednesday! Salmon on Friday! I practically heard studio audience applause.
Where Things Went Sideways- Tuesday's pumpkin soup made my kids ask: "Is this for Halloween?"
- Thursday's quinoa recipe failed when not even Auchan carried it in our Moscow suburb.
- Saturday's "light arugula and goat cheese salad" consumed half our grocery budget.
But! We actually tried new things. Would you trust AI with household planning? Or are fridge sticky notes still your MVP?
P.S. ChatGPT now insists I make cod liver pâté. I think it's messing with me.
