Pick a few things you have.

Choose at least two ingredients
A simple starting point

Rice + beans + salsa → a bowl. Pasta + tomatoes + garlic → tomato pasta. Tortillas + beans + cheese → filled wraps.

The What can I make helper uses a fixed set of ingredient combinations, not generated recipes. The helper shows ideas with at least two matching ingredients and lists anything missing. The combinations are meal-planning prompts, not tested recipes, cooking instructions, or checks for dietary suitability.

Think of these as starting points.

The What can I make helper compares your selection with five fixed combinations. The helper shows combinations with at least two matches, puts the most complete first, and names any missing core ingredient. Seasonings and optional extras are not counted.

Make the idea fit what you own.

Check amounts before deciding how many people a combination can serve. Half a can of beans and a full can lead to different plans. Choose a complete recipe with cooking instructions before preparing an unfamiliar dish.

Try another combination.

The helper’s five combinations cover bowls, pasta, wraps, a chopped salad and toast. The helper does not search every recipe or understand substitutions. If nothing matches, try the dinner guide for a flexible way to choose a base, a main ingredient and flavor.
