Recipes Based On a List of Ingredients
I'm looking for website which tells you what you can make for a meal. You click by the ingredients you have available, and up comes a recipe or two. I lost all emails, that link included.
Thanks!

Our daughter's getting married on 7/7/07, with an outdoor reception. She wants an elegant (yet simple) dinner, possibly buffet style, and I need to find recipes that will work for entrees, preferably chicken or pork. Any ideas? We're talking 250+, so needs to easily reproducible.

My six year old loves this. It is a quick and easy weekday meal. Add or subtract anything you like, I use it to get rid of leftovers in my fridge.
Cook pasta according to the package direction but use the lowest time so pasta is still very firm. Saute onions in a bit of oil or butter until translucent. Drain pasta and rinse with cool water to stop cooking. Mix pasta, vegetables, cheese and sauce in a casserole dish and top with your favorite topping. This is a great use for the end of the potato chip bag. Bake at 350 degrees F, covered for about 20 minutes, uncovered until brown and bubbly.

My roommate in college used to make us potatoes for breakfast on weekend mornings. Her potatoes were always crisp on the outside and tender inside. I've been trying to make them ever since. Mine usually were raw inside, or mashed potatoes. I finally discovered the answer, an electric skillet. Here is my technique.
Using a fork, poke holes in the potatoes as if you were baking them. Cook them for 5 minutes in the microwave. Using an electric skillet, cook bacon or sausage to desired consistency and remove from pan. Save about 2 Tbsp of drippings in the pan. If you would rather have vegetarian potatoes or are using cooked ham, add about 2 Tbsp. of oil. Chop cooked potatoes into 1/2 inch squares. Cook vegetables at a high heat (375 degrees F) until softened and moisture has been evaporated. Add potatoes and more drippings or oil, if necessary. Cover pan and let sit for about 5 minutes. Stir potatoes and let sit again. The potatoes should brown nicely. Add in meat at this time, if desired. I also like to season with salt and pepper, any herbs or spices I have on hand, and Worchestershire sauce. Serve when they are as brown as you like. Sometimes I will melt cheese on top before serving.

You can make a really inexpensive cheese at home. I sometimes use this as cream cheese and sometimes as cottage cheese. Start with 1 gallon of milk. If it is raw milk from a safe source, you don't have to add a culture. If it is pasteurized, add a half cup or so of plain yogurt. Put the covered milk in a warm place for 1-2 days until it is clabbered like yogurt. Now put it in a large pan and pour boiling water over it. Put a dairy thermometer in it, and turn the burner on low, stirring until the thermometer reads 110 degrees F. Remove from the heat and let it stand about 10 minutes. Now put it in a cheesecloth-lined strainer and let the whey drain off. You can save the whey and use it like milk for gravies or in baking. When the cheese is drained to the thickness that you want, you can add salt, seasonings, etc. I love it on toast!
