I second the freezer meals! What I like to do is make things that I can make a very large batch of to make food prep easier when I want a quick healthy meal. My favorites to make are chicken pot pie, pesto, kale pesto, pulled pork (not healthy), and falafel. All of these things take lots of time and or ingredients. So when you make them, you make a big massive batch and then divide them into meal portions for freezing. This way all I have to do is grab 1 portion of say pot pie, thaw it out in hot water or in the fridge the day before, pop it in the oven with some pie crust or crescent rolls on top for 25 min and BAM, I’m eating stuff from my garden in the middle of winter with little to no effort!

I LOVE this sweet potato and peanut stew we found. We originally tried it when looking for easy camping meals, but it’s so good we just keep making it. I’m not even vegan, but it’s so hearty and filling. People we make it for often ask if we’re sure there’s no meat in it. Best part is it only takes 30 minutes to make and uses relatively cheap ingredients. I like to add extra kale to make it thicker and make some wheat rolls to go with it: https://www.freshoffthegrid.com/sweet-potato-and-peanut-stew/#recipe

I also have dialed down the cheese intake, which is probably for the best. But if I want to indulge I have 2 options: take lactase pills or select cheese that does not contain lactose. I particularly enjoy the Cabot seriously sharp cheddar for my go-to cheesening.

Tests bar by ordering an old fashioned. Receives old fashioned with muddled cherry/orange and several ice cubes. ಠ_ಠ

In my experience, the best uses have been less fact-based and more “enhancement” based. For example, if I write an email and I just feel like I’m not hitting the right tone, I can ask it to “rewrite this email with a more inviting tone” and it will do a pretty good job. I might have to tweak it, but it worked. Same goes for image generation. If I already know what I want to make, I can have it output the different elements I need in the appropriate style and piece them together myself. Or I can take a photograph that I took and use it to make small edits that are typically very time consuming. I don’t think it’s very good or ethical for having it completely make stuff up that you will use 1:1. It should be a tool to aid you, not a tool to do things for you completely.
