Cooking with a Little This and That

Many times when I go to a party, potluck or some other function, I end up finding a great new dish that I’d like to make myself. When I complement the person, they say, “Oh, it’s really easy. You just need a little broccoli, some onions, a little this, and a little of that.” It’s so frustrating because you can’t repeat the dish without the recipe.
Then Wednesday I made a sausage and spinach quiche. Wouldn’t you know it, someone asked me what was in it. I think I said something like, “Uhhhhh, some sausage, eggs, spinach, cheese, uhhhh. Hmmm. Let me think.” Honestly, I have no clue the amounts of each thing in the quiche. I just kept adding more eggs, milk, seasonings, until I thought it looked right. Recently, I’ve been experimenting with making my own caramel macchiatos. I have it just about right. They are so good. Now my friends are asking me for the recipe. Once again, I am not sure of the amounts. I realize I am becoming one of those frustrating people that can’t tell you a recipe.
Are you a no recipe kind of cook?
