Where have you been all my life...or at least since I became cheap?

Best new website EVER: Recipe Puppy: http://www.recipepuppy.com
 
You've whittle away at your grocery shopping splurges, and you haven't been to the store in a week.  Now you are staring at your pantry shelves, trying to invent a tasty dinner from what you have on hand.  If you fail, you will almost certainly end up eating out, the pinnacle of monetary waste.
 
Recipe Puppy to the rescue!  Enter an ingredient or two, and the website recommends recipes for you.  You can even incrementally add ingredients to narrow down the list.
 
I was just yesterday wishing there was a site like this. 
 
My next wish, if anyone on the interwebs is looking for an idea: a "Cost Per Serving" website that aggregates cost data for a wide variety of grocery items, and - based on a given recipe's ingredients - generates an approximate cost per serving for that recipe.  I found some sites for individual types of food items (mostly meat), but nothing quite on the scale I was hoping for.  If "they" can come up with Recipe Puppy, hopefully "they" can come up with this website too!
