How often have you procrastinated, not done your grocery shopping, and realized you have absolutely nothing to make for dinner? If you're like me, you get wrapped up in a project, a movie, or surfing Google looking for funny pictures of cats, and before you know it the family is standing around whining, acting like they haven't been fed for a week.
So, with that in mind, I'll be sharing some of the creations I've come up with out of sheer necessity. Some turn out really great, and I make a note so I can add them to my recipes. Others...well....I'll warn you ahead of time if I've had a disaster, so you can avoid making the same mistake.
Most of my cooking is done by taste, estimates, and my knowledge of which things go well together. A working knowledge of what foods actually taste like is an essential tool for making something out of "nothing." Taste your spices. Learn to love them. Learn how they interact with different foods. Don't be afraid to try new things, you might be pleasantly surprised! Or, the dog might get a special treat if it's not fit for human consumption...
So, with that in mind, the adventure begins!
