What the prompt labels mean

We have a lot of leftover ham after Christmas. Give me healthy ideas to use it that don't have too many vegetables. One person is gluten-free and we like Asian food. Then give me the recipe for the one I pick.

Try this in:

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish.

Goal: Use up a leftover ingredient in meals my whole household will eat.

Questions to ask me first:
- What is the leftover, and roughly how much is there?
- Any allergies or special diets, such as gluten-free?
- What cuisines or flavors does everyone like, and anything they won't eat?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Leftover ingredient and amount: [LEFTOVER / AMOUNT]
- Special diets: [DIETS]
- Likes and dislikes: [PREFERENCES]
- Other food in the house: [PANTRY]

Rules:
- Give five ideas that fit every diet I listed; never include an ingredient that breaks one.
- Prefer recipes that use food I already have.
- Point out hidden sources of gluten or allergens, such as soy sauce, and offer a safe swap.
- Keep recipes weeknight simple, with times and servings.

Checkpoint: List the five ideas in one line each and wait for me to pick before writing a full recipe.

If you get stuck: If none of the ideas fit, ask what was wrong and try again with that in mind.

Verify before you finish: Check the final recipe against every diet and dislike I listed.

Output: The chosen recipe with ingredients, steps, time and servings.

Done when: I have a recipe that uses up the leftovers and everyone can eat.

Outcome

After Christmas, Shasta Kearns Moore's household still had a lot of ham. Moore asked ChatGPT for healthy ideas without too many vegetables, since the people at home aren't big fans. The first five ideas didn't fit, because one eater is gluten-free and the family prefers Asian cooking, so Moore told it that. ChatGPT came back with new suggestions and, on request, a recipe for a simple fried rice dish that was 'a big hit.' Moore says it took seconds and saved 'time, money and a headache.'
