What Can I Cook With The Ingredients I Have

By Mike Sasaki

The panic begins in the late afternoon when I begin to think about what I'm going to make for dinner. I often find myself thinking - "What Can I Cook With The Ingredients I Have"? It's a common thought because nobody wants to run to the grocery store at 6pm and wait in line for 15 minutes because it's so crowded. It'd be much better if I could just go home and cook with the ingredients I already have.

With the invention of the internet and all of the recipe websites that help you find great recipes based on what you already have at home, you can now cut down the time you spend in the kitchen.

Let's face it, many times you decide not to spend 2 hours in the kitchen and pick up fast food on the way home. The big problem is that fast food is high in fat and sodium and has little nutritional value, so by using these recipe websites you'll find that you will end up saving more money, improving your health and removing the stress related to cooking for hours and hours. The internet is supposed to make life easier, so let it.

Now, back to cooking...if you are committed to saving the earth and living 'green', you definitely want to use up all of your groceries. Many times, I purchase a lot of groceries and end up using half an onion or 3/4 of a loaf of bread. With these same recipe websites found on the internet, you can find recipes that will help you use up all of your leftovers. This will definitely help eliminate any food waste and less trash to throw away each week.

If you haven't already checked out the hundreds of recipe websites on the internet, check them out now. They are all made pretty nicely and each have a unique theme to them. Good luck cooking!
