I think your idea is a good one. I rely on recipes, but I think I will do what you suggest. I need to get better at using what I have on hand or that needs to be used next. So, reviewing a recipe, then going to the fridge and picking out what sounds right for that is a great idea.

I do some of that. For example, I don't like shrimp, but I like a lot of recipes that include shrimp. I love chicken and can store it more easily than most meats. So I am doing some experiments with substituting chicken for shrimp.
