Supermarket Stakeout

While grocery store shopping is less frequent, the shopping options may not be quite as plentiful. If you were presented with a bag of ingredients, could you create a tasty dish?

It might not be your Chopped Challenge, but it could inspire some creative cooking in your kitchen.
