Meal Planner

Please make me a meal planner that includes 5 dinner recipes. I have the following ingredients: "frozen broccoli, canned black beans, canned chick peas, tomato sauce, chicken pieces, mild curry paste, peanut butter, soy sauce, frozen vegetables, rice, olive oil, crackers".

DuckDuckGo AI

  • four AI engines

  • my query:

  • and results:

I like to do several such queries, so I have four different sets of ingredients, with 4 specific recipes in each set. This way, at any time, I have 20 example recipes on hand that I can draw from.

If, for example, I don't have any chicken, frozen vegetables, and/or rice, I could use pork, broccoli, and/or noodles instead.

Having a set of basic recipes on hand, that are based on the types of ingredients I typically have on hand, is very useful. AI provides me with a custom fit.

Plus, since I'm concerned about the amount of power that the AI data centres use, I prefer adapting a basic set of 20 recipes rathere than continuously asking for new specific recipes.
