In today’s pre-Thanksgiving episode, I walk you through how I vibe coded my very own “Thanksgiving party hub” using Lovable—and how I transformed it from AI-generated slop into something warm, personal, and genuinely useful. I show you exactly how I upleveled the typography, visuals, and structure using Google Fonts and Midjourney style references, and then I share one of my favorite real-life AI hacks: how to turn any messy online recipe into a clean, step-by-step, kid-friendly version that’s actually usable while you’re cooking. This is a cozy, practical walkthrough of my real design process—the little tricks I use to make AI-built apps feel handcrafted instead of generic.

What you’ll learn:

How to build a fully functional Thanksgiving party hub in Lovable—guests, dishes, recipes, and photos
How I uplevel AI-generated designs using Google Fonts and Tailwind
How to use Midjourney style references to create custom images that match your aesthetic
How to add custom features to vibe-coded apps, like dietary preferences and allergen tags
How to iterate on layouts inside Lovable using screenshots and small, targeted prompts
How I use ChatGPT to restructure recipes so the measurements are embedded directly in each step
How to make recipes kid-friendly and easier to follow using a simple formatting prompt
