MacGyver My Meal

[Sparkle]

I love cooking! When I want to learn to cook something I become very studious, I read recipes and forums and cook books, I plan a trip to the market with a specific shopping list, I buy the best ingredients I can afford and then I make it a few times and try to perfect it.

But I'm not a great by-the-seat-of-my-pants cook.

My Best Femme is, she can turn 5 random and seemingly unmatchable ingredients into a gourmet 3-course meal using a microwave and a hot plate. (I've seen her do this exact thing, its quite impressive.)

I thought it would be fun to have a thread where you can come in and share a list 5 or 6 random ingredients you have, and crowd source possible meals to be made of them.


For example...

I currently have:

• 1 bag of uncooked edamame,
• 2 large yams,
• 1 frozen naan,
• a small block of havarti and
• a bag of arugula.

that may or may not be the sum total of the contents of my fridge/freezer at the moment.

Any ideas?
