How to Decide Based on What You Have

Instead of picking a recipe and going shopping, work backwards. Open your fridge, see what you have, and search based on that.

Try searches like:

• “What can I make with chicken and broccoli”
• “Dinner with ground beef and rice”
• “I have salmon and lemon, what should I cook”
• “Pasta dinner with whatever I have”

MealQuery understands these natural language queries and returns recipes that match your ingredients — with full instructions, cook times, and nutrition info.

Still Can’t Decide?

If you’re truly stuck, try one of these approaches:

1. Pick your protein first — chicken, beef, pork, fish, or tofu. Then search for easy recipes with that protein.
2. Pick a cuisine — Italian, Mexican, Thai, or whatever sounds good. Search for easy dishes from that cuisine.
3. Pick a time limit — search “dinner under 20 minutes” and make whatever looks good from the results.
4. Go with a classic — when in doubt, you can’t go wrong with pasta, tacos, or stir fry.
