What can I make with chicken breast, onion, mushrooms, runner beans, and natural yoghurt?
I would use the yogurt for dessert and the rest of the items I would cook together and make a sauce for this and serve it over rice. You can cut up the chicken beeast and cook it for a few minutes in a wok. Add some tomatoe sauce and some seasoning then add the rest of the items and cook for a few minutes. Now make some rice and serve this over rice.
Brown the chicken on all sides. Remove from the pan and saute the onions, mushrooms, and beans in the drippings. Mix in the yogurt. Place the chicken in a baking dish and pour the rest over the top.
You could make a soup, Pot pie with bread crumb topping or flour crust, just on top!
I have turkey, tomatoes, stock, onion and curry powder. Can I make a curry? I don't have almonds, yogurt, or other spices.
By Jim
I'd skip the curry powder and just make soup. You have the ingredients for that.
Sounds to me that you have the ingredients for a nice curry sauce to put over turkey and noodles. Sounds yummy to me.

I mix 1/2 avocado with 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese. Don't see why you can't throw some broccoli into the mix. I'm going to try it. I also like to sprinkle my avocado with a little fresh lemon juice.
What can I make with eggs, water, flour, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon?
By Rachel
Those are the standard ingredients for cakes, cookies, coffee cakes, and muffins.
If you have a little butter, oil or shortening you can make a cake. However you will need a little baking powder.
Feed these ingredients into the "recipe" on some websites and it will tell you what you can do with them. Cinnamon should make it taste good, whatever it is.
This is an awesome site to use to find recipes by ingredients!

You can also go to this link. Scroll down and you'll find a box to type the ingredients into. Once you do that scroll down a bit more and choose a cuisine.
You'll find oodles of matching recipes matching those ingredients in assorted categories at both sites. ;-)

What can I make for dinner with ground beef, carrots, onions, tomato soup, Minute Rice, and sausage?
By nancy from Nova Scotia
I would mix all of it together in a big pot, add a little water and some seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic powder, etc.), and make a soup/stew out of it. You could add the rice in with all of it, or you could leave the rice out, cook it separate and serve the stew over it. Hope this helps.
It sounds like you're in great shape! Here's a recipe I learned from my aunt in Idaho about 50 years ago, and I am still making it.
Layered Casserole
In a 2 quart baking dish, layer hamburger, carrots, onions, and potatoes. Mix tomato soup with 1 can water and pour over layers. Cover tightly and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1/5 hours.
You could also make a layer for the sausage, but it would be nice to save it for another dish later, too. I hope this helps! When you serve it, it looks pretty if you can keep the layers neatly in order, but hey, it will taste good even if your kids stir it up.
Go to this link and type in all of those ingredients and it will come up with loads of choices :-) There's a tutorial for first timers using the site to help you out, too ;-)

By Crystal
Have you tried recipe websites that let you add the ingredients you want and don't want in a recipe. These sources are helpful when you're trying to eat out of the pantry and freezer and limit your trips to the grocery store.
You can type the ingredients in at both of these sites and oodles of assorted recipes will show up on both. When you try the second link you have to scroll down just a bit to get to the ingredient function tab.

What can I make with frozen cheese ravioli, frozen chicken breast, and a jar of Alfredo sauce?
By colliesr
If you have or could get a small can of tomatoes, you will have a yummy meal. You slice chicken breast in half horizontally (fillet them). If you have on hand, bread crumbs then dip them in some water or egg and drag them thru it both sides coating them well. Bake on pan sprayed with cooking spray or a little oil to prevent sticking. Bake on one side for about 20 minutes turn them on the other side, add the can tomatoes drained of all juice, then a little alfredo sauce of the sauce to cover the tomato, bake for about 15 minutes til done. If you don't bread them then you can cut into small cubes about 1" and saute them in oil it lightly browned, then add can tomatoes, (drained of tomatoe juice first.) Heat sauce, cook ravioli according to directions. Viola, dinner is served! Hope this helps.
Here is a link to a site where you give them your ingredients and they'll find a recipe for you:
www.recipematcher.com/
You could make it like lasagna, except cook the ravioli according to package and then boil your chicken in a little bit of water til done. Then layer the cheese ravioli on the bottom of the pan and put your cooked chicken(shredded) on top of the ravioli. Then pour the alfredo sauce on top of that. Put in the oven and bake til all is bubbly and heated thoroughly. Yum yum! That sounds so good. Wish that I had those ingredients right now. This is a good recipe for those that are on a restricted diet due to acid reflux and peptic ulcers and can't have fried foods or foods with tomatoes due to the acid content.
