I'm totally with you there! I've never been much of a cook, and all those different ingredients just make me want to eat out! But, I've been experimenting with different ideas with what I have in the kitchen and have been doing well so far. My friend gave me some ideas that really helped me.

Mix soy sauce, splenda, and water and pour over your meat right before you take it off the stove for a easy teriyaki sauce.

Sometimes I pour some heavy cream and parmesan cheese, salt & pepper to taste for a little change of pace.

Mix salsa & sour cream for a little Mexican flavor.

Whisk olive oil and lemon juice, salt & pepper to taste, works on veggies, pork, and fish.

Mix mayo & mustard, works as a dip or for seafood.
