By 5 p.m., I’m usually running on fumes and as tempting as ordering delivery is, it's just not practical when I'm feeding a family of five. So instead of scrolling through recipes I’ll never make, I asked ChatGPT for something more realistic: simple cooking hacks that could actually make weeknights easier.
Some were obvious like "wash vegetables and meal prep early" and others were completely useless like "salad bowls." That's a dinner I would love, but my picky eaters would think I was crazy for even attempting to call that a meal.
Yet, several of the hacks were actually quite useful. ChatGPT went beyond just giving me recipe ideas to delivering tips that make the meals better. Here are the seven that stood out.
