What differentiates this site from dozens of others that cater to those in search of something new to put on the dinner table is a feature that allows you to access recipes that utilize ingredients you already have on hand.  Wondering what to do with defrosted chicken breasts, about-to-expire sour cream, and enough Dijon mustard that justifies your having saved the jar for the past two months or so? Key in the items you have in the cupboard and you'll get a list of possibilities, together with their nutritional values and suggested side dishes. It's not a perfect system - you can specify only four ingredients, and one of them might inhibit you from getting any results at all, since the search engine seeks out dishes using all, not just some, of the items you've indicated. Through the process of elimination or addition, you eventually should get some tasty-sounding options. You also can search by cooking times, dietary needs, and ethnic preferences, or browse through thousands of recipes - for everything from the proverbial soup to nuts - submitted by other users.
