Of course not. Because once you realize you don't always need a recipe, you'll make your favorite dishes a lot more often.\\n\\nToday: Be bold and go recipe-less tonight for dinner\u2014it's much easier than you think.\\n\\nSome weeknight evenings, you get home and just want to throw a meal together. No cookbooks, no searching for recipes that you have all of the ingredients for already, no trying to divide measurements so that the dinner serves one instead of six. Just a plain and simple thrown-together meal.\\n\\nWhile just winging it can be exciting and adventurous, having a little guidance before you whip something up can be super helpful. So, we\u2019ve gathered some easy, recipe-less meal ideas to be your guide to tonight\u2019s dinner. Grab a glass of your favorite drink and have fun with your recipe-free cooking.\\n\\n[Veggie Burger](http://food52.com/blog/11103-how-to-make-any-veggie-burger-without-a-recipe \\\"Veggie Burger without a Recipe\\\")\\n\\n[#image: /photos/57d8be9f4b76f0f832a0ef9d]||||||\\n\\n [Quinoa Salad](http://food52.com/blog/7941-how-to-make-quinoa-salad-without-a-recipe \\\"Quinoa Salad without a Recipe\\\")\\n\\n[#image: /photos/57d8be9f4b76f0f832a0ef9f]||||||\\n\\n[Lasagna](http://food52.com/blog/9977-how-to-make-lasagna-without-a-recipe \\\"Lasagna Without a Recipe\\\")\\n\\n[#image: /photos/57d8bea024fe9dae328329a6]||||||\\n\\n[Kale Salad](http://food52.com/blog/9513-how-to-make-kale-salad-without-a-recipe \\\"Kale Salad Without a Recipe\\\")\\n\\n[#image: /photos/57d8bea1d3276fe232947820]||||||\\n\\n[Burrito](http://food52.com/blog/7267-how-to-make-any-burrito-in-5-steps \\\"Burrito Without a Recipe\\\")\\n\\n[#image: /photos/57d8bea224fe9dae328329a8]||||||\\n\\n[Frittata](http://food52.com/blog/6663-how-to-make-any-frittata-in-5-steps \\\"Frittata Without a Recipe\\\")\\n\\n[#image: /photos/57d8bea246d0cb351c8c6157]||||||\\n\\n[Panzanella](http://food52.com/blog/10820-how-to-make-panzanella-without-a-recipe \\\"Panzanella Without a Recipe\\\")\\n\\n[#image: /photos/57d8bea350778cef321a5a88]||||||\\n\\n[Fried Rice](http://food52.com/blog/10211-how-to-make-fried-rice-without-a-recipe \\\"Fried Rice Without A Recipe\\\")\\n\\n[#image: /photos/57d8bea44b76f0f832a0efa1]||||||\\n\\n[Nachos](http://food52.com/blog/10070-how-to-make-diy-nachos-without-a-recipe \\\"Nachos Without a Recipe\\\")\\n\\n[#image: /photos/57d8bea550778cef321a5a89]||||||\\n\\n[Gazpacho](http://food52.com/blog/10925-how-to-make-gazpacho-without-a-recipe \\\"Gazpacho without a Recipe\\\")\\n\\n[#image: /photos/57d8bea5d3276fe232947822]||||||\\n\\n[Pasta Salad](http://food52.com/blog/10406-how-to-make-pasta-salad-without-a-recipe \\\"Pasta Salad Without a Recipe\\\")\\n\\n[#image: /photos/57d8bea624fe9dae328329a9]||||||\\n\\n*Tell us: What's your go-to recipe-less weeknight dinner?*\\n\\nImage Credit: *via [Food52](http://food52.com) (12)*"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
