Need some ‘girl dinner’ inspo? We asked a chatbot to curate our weekly menu

Still waiting to get involved with the ‘girl dinner’ trend that’s been taking over TikTok? Well, with summer coming to a close there’s no better time to jump on the bandwagon. As the heat begins to creep in, snacking is the name of the game; no one wants to be slaving away at a sweaty burger in these conditions, but a helping of olives, pickles and brie? Yes please. 

Still, part of the trouble with cooking is having the imagination to keep things fresh throughout the week with new recipes instead of recycling the same old pasta for weeks on end. But thanks to trusty old AI we’ve produced a week-long schedule of fresh girl dinners to keep you satisfied, including the likes of smoothie bowls, avocado toast, salmon and much more.

However, remember that this isn’t actually a balanced diet, and it was made by an AI chatbot, not a nutritionist, so just take some inspo here and there. Anyway, disclaimer over, let’s sink our teeth into this week’s menu.
