Creative cooking what do you like to create when you cook?

I was in the kitchen today and made up a wonderful chicken meatloaf made out of things I had in the kichen. The chicken I ground in my meat grinder attachment for my kitchen Aide mixer and I added salt pork to give it some flavor and aged provalone grated up to give it dimension. Instead of the ususal bread crumbs I used the Panko bread crumbs, I also made a topping using the panko bread crumbs and olive oil so it browned and gave it that crispy outside.

What are some of the things you’ve created just with things you had in your kitchens and didn’t plan to make?
