I only use recipes for breads, cookies, cakes, those kinds of baked goods, things I don't make often like pasta carbonara and new recipes. With new recipes I'll often look at several different recipes for the same thing and combine parts of each.
Day to day foods, I don’t use a recipe. Things I make infrequently, I check the recipe to make sure I don’t forget something. It’s funny though, how some things I’ve made a million times, I still can’t remember without checking.
I make a lot of things without a recipe but my dressing is the absolute best I’ve ever eaten. Everyone loves it.
Please share! Exact amounts not required.
And I add minced onion to my Pimento Cheese. And Duke's mayo is not available here in the Pacific NW. We have Best Foods mayo here on the West coast. The East coast's version is Hellman's.
My mother was the type when my wife asked her how she made something would say "I don't know. I just put a little bit of this and a big scoop of that. Don't ever measure."
I make a pot of beans a couple of times a month. I'm always changing up the combinations of things. Like Monday, it was pinto beans with ham, and I added a couple of cans of diced tomatos with chilis, and a packet of taco seasoning, and a splash of lemon juice.
Other times, it's a pot of 15 bean soup, with andoulli sausage and cajun seasonings...and so on and so forth. lol
I also make meat loaf without a recipe. My 'secret' is adding a jar of salsa and squishing it all around before I put it in the pan.
