http://www.cookingbynumbers.com - great site and I've been using it for a few months now, thought I'd share it with y'all. Basically tick the boxes according to what you have in your kitchen and it'll generate a list of suggestions for you

I have 50% of the required ingredients for 8 recipies.

But then I guess there is only so much you can do with butter, coffee and cooking oil.

Edit: I just remembered I have some apples!!

100% of 1 ingredients in Apple on its own.
Only got an apple? Fridge barer than a new born grizzly? Try this recipe for success.

Ingredients

1.

Apple

Method

method: 1. Take apple and examine for signs of wear and tear.

2. Put your coat on and go down the local shop or supermarket.

3. Whilst walking chew on your apple. Stop eating when you get to the pips and stalk. Throw the stalk in the bin and get some food.

Fail.

Well it's given me a fair few recipes and good ideas over the last while. Just thought I'd share the idea. It probably helps though if you don't act like a tard and actually give it some useful information.

Your fridge must be pretty empty if you only have butter in it.

Tell me about it. There's yogurt and cheese slices too, but they weren't an option on that site. Maybe it's time to do some shopping.

2. Chop your onions, see: skillsbynumbers 02. Peel and chop your carrots.

3. Put the chicken pieces, onion and carrots in an ovenporoof pot. Add the rice, stock and a couple of pinches of salt and pepper.. Put a lid on and place it in a medium oven at around 150*C. Leave for an hour and a half.

If the oven is hot enough, and the food left in long enough to cook properly then it's all good
