Family dinners need to please everyone—including picky eaters. AI recipe generators can suggest kid-friendly, batch-friendly, and weeknight-ready ideas. Here's how.
How to Prompt for Family Dinners
Say "family-friendly," "kid-friendly," or "pickier eaters" upfront. Specify servings: "feeds 4" or "dinner for 2 adults and 2 kids." For scaling, see our guide to scaling AI recipe portions.
Ingredients Families Love
Chicken, pasta, and mild flavors tend to work. Ask for "not too spicy" or "simple flavors." For variety, try meal planning with AI—get a week of ideas at once.
Batch Cooking and Leftovers
Double the recipe and save half. AI can scale—"double this for 8 servings"—but verify the math. Tools like Baba Selo let you save recipes so family favorites are easy to revisit.
Quick Weeknight Wins
Time pressure? Combine "family-friendly" with "30 minutes" in your prompt. Our quick meals guide has more on fast dinners.
