Good morning, and thank you for posting!

I'm a not-very-good home cook, but can follow instructions on a box, even whip stuff together without directions and have it be generally passable as food.

I don't usually stock meat unless I find a deal, but I almost always have on hand a plethora of vegetables (Canned: diced/crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce/paste, corn, black beans, peas, green beans. Dry: rice, beans. Fresh: onions, garlic, potatoes) and basic dried spices (table/kosher salt, ground pepper, garlic/onion/chili powders, cumin, oregano, Italian mix). And I'm a vinegar-head, generally keep 4-5 kinds (balsamic, red wine, rice, white) around for cooking or light dressing.

Most of my 'whipped together' meals turn out to be a chili, or individual veggies with butter/salt/pepper, or what amounts to a spiced veggie hash.

Any recommendations for something a little more... *chef's kiss*?
