Hi Shirley. Thanks For Yours Meals. Have a Nice Day😊😊

WOW. I need this but then I also need someone to actually make the recipe as well. I hate hate hate to cook! Some of these ideas sound really good though.

I guess you can wait a little longer and there will be "Rosie" robots who can be your cook. - Shirey

😀😀 I should print this out for my wife. MAC

I did something similar with Copilot recently - I had had visitors whom I hadn't see for a long time and I didn't know what they would eat. I ended up with various opened food items that needed using up. I gave Copilot a list and it came up with a few good ideas - including a nice blueberry cake (that included the leftover soured cream as well as the blueberries) and blueberry muffins.

(I used Copilot because I only have the free version of ChatGPT and need that allowance for actual work.)

Haha... and what if the fridge is empty?

Have a walk in the garden, and look for alternatives 😉
