Cooking can be fun or a chore!

You didn't plan ahead, nor did you shop for groceries. Yeah, too busy over the weekend to think about grocery shopping. Now you're home from work to find that you only have some milk, a few beers, a loaf of of bread, a few eggs and some cheese in the refrigerator. In the cabinets, a can of tomatoes, ketchup, mustard and a can of black olives.

Your cooking skills and knowledge are pretty basic, you know how to prepare dishes like meatballs, fried chicken and chili, but grilling salmon with a citrus beurre blanc or steak Diane aren't even on the list. Neither are items such as coleslaw and potato salad, after all you can buy them at a deli counter if you think of it. Spaghetti with Prego is a standard run of the mill easy one pot one bowl meal, with the meatballs that you bought in the freezer section. Sandwiches are okay as long as it's grilled cheese or turkey.
