Super Cook!

Needless to say that being married has brought several, if not many, new things into my life. One of the major new things is now I have to cook prepare meals think about what we're gonna have for dinner every day.

When you live alone you only think about yourself. For example, I don't mind skipping dinner once or twice a week just so I can linger in front of TV longer. Or I have no problem having eggs for 7 straight days for dinner. I can even leave vegetables out of my menu for weeks.Yeah, I happen to have a quite low standard for my daily meals. 

Now that I live with someone else, the husband, things get hmm... more complicated, if I may say. Because he happens to have higher standard for his meals. Luckily, he likes to cook too. More than I do, at least.

However, in my attempt to be a better wife, I started to learn to cook. You know, apparently, cooking is not as difficult as I thought it would be. Of course I'm not talking about any complicated dish, I'm referring to food that taste good enough and make you happy enough to go through the day. 

The problem, or at least my problem, is I don't know what to cook. I've lived 26 years and I only know about 20 dishes. I believe I've tried at least 50 dishes during my lifetime, but for some reason I weirdly understand (because it's so me) I can't recall those other 30ish dishes when I need them. To say I'm not knowledgeable about food is probably correct.

When I have eggs, onion, olive oil, and potato, I can only think of omelet or sunny side egg with potato. I have zero creativity in cooking.

I've been hoping for some application or program to help me and people like me, where I can easily input all the ingredients that I have and the program will tell me what fancy dish I can make with them.

Wishful thinking, isn't?

Except it's not.

Few days ago, out of desperation I tweeted if someone knew certain application. And one of the responses direct me to www.supercook.com, which is exactly what I mean!

I tried it yesterday, I input eggs, onion, olive oil, and potato and I got more than 20 recipes that I  work with! The husband and I ended up having Italian potato soup for dinner yesterday. :D

I think the website is basically only matching your ingredients with the recipes in other cooking sites. Because once I clicked on the recipe I got redirected to another site.

If you have the same problem as mine, you really should try this supercook.com. Great stuff!
