Cook the Book: 'Eat Me: The Food and Philosophy of Kenny Shopsin'
I'm not sure this qualifies as inventing as I'm sure there are older dishes that are the same or at least similar but I never knew of them so I'm counting it. It was chevre, chopped fresh mint, vanilla extract and salt and pepper cut with a couple teaspoons of cream. that mixture was then spread over halved figs which were then broiled until bubbly and golden brown.

U.S. Blocks Food from China Containing Milk
For whatever it's worth Melamine isn't harmful in itself. What it does is add nitrogen to fool protein tests into thinking there is more protein in a food product than there is. The danger is in giving pets or infants products that don't contain enough protein to sustain health or even life.

So all of those infants and pets got sick and/or died from not getting enough protein? I'm not so sure about that. I'm in Hong Kong and most people I know here (Chinese and Western) won't touch any food made in China. They'll buy Australian or NZ milk.

I did, actually. I put sugar and all kinds of other stuff in one of my mother's nice bowls about 25 years ago. Microwaved it. It set...pretty hard. I think it was hard candy, but I had to throw the bowl away pretty quickly after that. Whoops.

I cook up whatever fresh vegetables I have (brocolli, sweet peppers, onions, and mushrooms are often in the mix) as well as pototoes cut in chunks. The micorwave is fine for that part. Then i mix them all together in a wok with a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste. No name for it, but the family likes it.

I am a creative cook, always coming up with something different. I made a dish with Rice A Roni, hamburger, tomato sauce and mozarella cheese- I am Italian, so you must have the cheese!

I "invent" almost every time I cook. I often change, modify, or re-arrange recipes depending on what I have available - (waste not want not). Thank you for the opportunity to win!

Well, my 'recipe' is more of a combination of things, but my DH and I find it rather yummy. It's 'name' is called (sorry folks, so not appetizing) "Fartblossoms!" LOL
I make a recipe of Manwich Bold with ground beef. Then I mix it with a couple of cans of pork and beans or baked beans, a little molasses, a little Worcestershire sauce and a little Coleman's dry mustard, some Hormel bacon bits. Cook on the stove or in a crockpot til it is nice and thick. Serve with Frito Scoops.
I originally came up with the recipe when I had leftover Manwich and leftover baked beans and I mixed them together.
This is also my much-requested Baked Bean recipe...when I carry it to potlucks or picnics, I use my antique bean pot as a serving vessel.
Yummy Yummy...It is SO good!

I am not much of an inventor, but I do like to play with recipes, and add spices and hot sauce to almost everything. Thanks for the contest.

I like to use existing recipes and change them to make them my own. For instance, I started with a basic alfredo recipe and jazzed it up. The only dish I invented from scratch was a sweet balsamic spinach bacon salad which is a meal in itself!

i always invent different things, like different types of salads or wraps, its so much fun to come up with different things!

As a kid I would spread peanut butter on one slice of bread and sprinkle chocolate chips on another and place both under the toaster oven to toast then press them together to form a sandwich.

I invent a lot of things - I really like to experiment in the kitchen. My favorite so far is a buffalo-style tilapia over grits.

I make any number of "throw togethers". All of them can never be reproduced because I harvest whatever is in season in the refrigerator or pantry.

Many times I have invented dishes from the items I have had on hand. I have made up egg dishes, various soups and stews, meatloafs, and cookies.

No, I wish I could but I am not very creative.

I've invented many dishes. One was so bad, the outside cats wouldn't eat it. I stick to recipes or minor, minor, minor revisions.
