That delicious dinner you’ve just devoured wasn’t the result of your Auntie Antonia’s old family recipe, nor did it come from your Betty Crocker cookbook. It was inspiration born out of necessity; your meager pantry housed random ingredients collected through the years, and your refrigerator was full of haphazardly purchased sale items from the last grocery run.
But you were determined to eat a fresh meal, so you soldiered on, throwing together a little of this and a little of that, willy nilly, until perfection was reached. And thus, an accidental dinner was born.
Accidental dinners, as the name implies, are delightful discoveries made when you survey the contents of your kitchen, get inspired and make it work.
This blog exists to chronicle your culinary adventures; to give credo to your triumphs and forgive the occasional misguided meal. We are by no means experts in the kitchen; we just like quick, balanced meals that tantalize the tastebuds. So consider this a potluck of sorts. You’ll bring what you have to the table by submitting your favorite accidental dinners and we’ll share ours.
Happy Eating.
