Here's a great site where you type in the ingredients and oodles of recipe choices come up letting you know what other basic staples you 'might' need for what recipes seem interesting to you!
I found a site at the US Dept. of Agriculture called the recipe finder. If you're trying to stretch your food dollars this is an excellent place to find recipes.
While trying, unsuccessfully as it turns out, to find a recipe for someone at ThriftyFun, I did find this very unusual website: Uncle Phaedrus Consulting Detective and Finder Of Lost Recipes
Sara Moulton's cooking show had an interesting recipe for asparagus lasagna with won ton squares that was a no boil, just bake, type of recipe. This seems like something that would work nicely when in a rush to get dinner on the table.
There is a great recipe for a spinach dip. it is on the back of the Knorr's Vegetable mix and, boy is it good. My girlfriend made it for my daughter's birthday party. Now mind you, I do not eat spinach, however with this recipe, it is great. I loved it and so did hubby. She did not put the water chestnuts in. A great way to eat your spinach. My mother also put some in between her sandwich (I had help yourself to sandwiches) and she said it was good.
Brown ground beef and drain any grease. Add taco seasoning mix and water to beef mixture and cook according to package directions. Set ground beef mixture aside to cool. While the meat is cooling cup up you veggies.
