Googling ingredients on hand to get recipes, am I the only one?

I usually do the same. It's really exciting and lets you discover other recipes.

It would never occur to me to goggle using just ingredients cause I usually have an idea what I am going to use what I have for, but I do use Allresipes a lot. Next to the food network they are my facvorite website for cooking ideas.

nmita, I like allrecipes too! I prefer online recipes when there are ratings and comments since that gives me more ideas.

Funnily enough I just googled "green beans carrot stir fry" and one of the top results was a city-data thread.

I have found one major key to finding recipes like this is having a well-stocked spice cabinet along with things like ginger, hot peppers, soy sauce, canned beans and other store-able staples that can lend versatility to recipes.

I do this all the time now. I usually go to Yahoo answers for recipes and it's never failed me. Plus it's a fun way to create something you normally wouldn't go for if you don't have pictures or anything to go by.

I also like All Recipes & Food Network for recipes - I have never Googled ingredients but I have used the All Recipes website feature. Either method will provide some amazing recipes. Happy cooking!

I actually just made a salad I found on Allrecipes. It isn't much different from any other most of us have made from time to time, but I just thought I would check to get a decent pasta salad for tomorrow. It is very basic and I did change a few things, but it just seemed to be what I was looking for. I know, pasta salad doesn't need a recipe and that is true.
