I know there are a few chefs and other skilled people in here and just looking to improve my culinary skills.

I would say I am above average for a college student without any classes, but nowhere near amazing or anything.

Usually my meals will consist of buying chicken/pork/etc. and throwing it in a bag with a marinade and pan cooking it with some broccoli/peppers/onions or whatever. I know the only way to improve is with practice, but I never have any ideas so I guess I am just looking for ideas on what to add with what, what to experiment with, and stuff like that.

Here's my advice, take a culinary class if you got time.

my advice would be to try new things, new fruits, vegetables, fish, herbs, sauces. some may suck some you may love but you'll never know till you try them

kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, peppadews, papaya

eat that shit

Or you can just say "eat shit"

The girl friend says pinterest, search meal ideas follow the recipes

i would not take a culinary class unless trying to be a chef as a career. i do know you can actually buy the culinary books some colleges use. i would just to that and experiment at home. cooking about imagination. if you dont got a food processor i would get one.
