My love / hate relationship

I love to cook. I hate to cook.

I love to cook when I have time to flip through my cookbooks, select a recipe and go to the store to buy the ingredients. I visit websites like VegWeb, Epicurious, and the Food Network so often that it borders on being unhealthy. The pictures of delectable meals are like pornography for me.

I hate to cook when I have to make up something based on the random ingredients in my pantry. My fiance hates it to. For example: pita pizza with sliced fake chicken nuggets and canned pears. Oh yeah.

So, I'm reluctant to cook when I don't have time for the whole "recipe search/grocery store excursion."

Hello take-out...its nice to see you (again).

Now imagine my delight in finding this site. You simply enter 4 ingredients that you already have in your pantry and it will generate a recipe for you. No more last-minute trips to the store for that absolutely necessary 7oz jar of roasted sweet red peppers.

I think this could be my new obsession.
