Things You’ll Need:

Any ingredients you have available
Cooking Utensils
Pots and Pans

Step1

First of all, take an inventory of what you have available. Most people have canned vegetables, etc in their pantry, take those out, too. Do you have chicken? Beef? Just line them up in your counter and see what dish you could make with them.

Step2

Start thinking about what tastes good to you. If you have chicken, you can take corn and black beans and make a southwest chicken dish. Or if you have beef and green onions and baby corn, you can make an Asian spicy beef dish- it's all up to what you think tastes good.

Step3

The easiest way is sauté the ingredients together but depending on what you like, bake it, grill it- there are no rules!

Tips & Warnings

You can take an existing recipe and take out what you don't like about it and put in things you do! In some cases, recipes require too many things that are difficult to find.
Make life easier and take shortcuts. Mayonnaise and garlic, for example, makes a good chicken cordon bleu sauce.
These recipes don't always work out, so don't be disappointed if they don't. Try it different next time.
