Does anyone know of a recipe site...?

Does anyone know of a recipe site that has a section where you enter all your ingredients in your kitchen and it will give you a list of all the recipes you can make with those ingredients? I use i-drink.com for my mixed drinks and they have the "cabinet" where I check off everything on the list that I have in my liquor bar and all my mixing stuff. I need something like that for my food. I have tried meals.com, allrecipes.com and a few others, but none have more than a search for an ingredient. I don't want to have to search for one main ingredient and then spend hours looking thru all the recipes finding that most require one or more main ingredients that I dont keep in my kitchen. I have 5 kids and a husband who get really tired of the same old stuff so I try to make new meals as often as I can, but do you have any idea how many recipes come up when you search "chicken breast"?! WOW! Anyhow, if any of you helpful folks could give me a hand with this one I would be soooo greatful! TY!

Update:

I have tried using several different search engines, including GOOGLE and no luck. There are lots of recipe sites, but none that do what I want it to. As I said before, I have 5 kids- I most definately have no time to browse thousands of sites to find the only site on the web that does this. Thanks anyhow, but I'm definately hoping somebody here can save me from this horrible journey.

Update 2:

Olympic Junkie - Believe me - If I had that kind of time and know-how, I would do it! While I completely understand the difference between the drink cabinet and a whole kitchen, as I have much experience in the kitchen. I am simply asking if such a thing exists. Thanks for the thought though. Perhaps u do not have as many children and can make the site for us all?? ;-)

All - Well Folks this question will expire soon and I would like to thank all for trying to help me out and I must agree that recipezaar is wonderful, as I have an account with them already, but I was hoping that there was a more in-depth site somewhere that I had yet to find. Thanks again for everything.

    Kraft.com

    You enter 3 ingredients, and the search engine will pull up all the recipes that contain those things. If it can't find anything with all three things then it will look for recipes with just two of the items.

    The only search functions I know of are limited to 3 ingredients. I think you are out of luck with this one. The drink site ---well, there are a lot fewer ingredients to deal with than in a kitchen...Maybe in your spare time (joke!) you can set up a site that does this--you have identified a need, now supply what is needed!!!

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/ lets you search for 3 ingredients...still not great though

    http://allrecipes.com/ does let you search on more than one ingredient....i searched for chicken onion noodles and it came back with just 4 meals

    Sorry not heard of any with a "kitchen" like the cabinet you are talking about but have a star cos if someone else does I want to know too!!

    Sorry, have never heard of a site that has those capabilities.....Google, Google, Google....I am sure there are thousands of sites you will have to browse through, but that may be the only way, if no one here knows of one.
