Cooking by numbers takes a neat approach to dishing out recipes, you check off things you have on hand in your fridge and cupboard and it will pull recipes based on what you've got laying around. Neat idea when you: feel like cooking something, don't want to shop, would like to try something new.

Admittedly, the available inputs (things you can say you have on hand) are pretty limited, and some of the recipes are a little condescending (an apple on its own? A cup of coffee?), but it's great to have this little service available for when you're stumped and pressed for time.
