    If by "healthy" you mean low calorie, I don't have one. My favorite general recipe source is https://www.americastestkitchen.com. You need a subscription to get all the content, but with an email subscription you get @ three recipes per week for free. Not being able to see all the Related Content was driving me crazy so I asked my mother for a subscription for Christmas.

    For more complicated recipes, it's wonderful to be able to see the video. The videos also increase my enthusiasm about the dish.

    I like to look at a lot of recipes, mostly because hubby and my daughter have celiac and I've always had to adapt recipes to be gluten free. I use allrecipes.com a lot, skinnytaste, cooking light, eating well.I love Ree Drummond's (The Pioneer Woman) recipes, but they always start with a lb of butter and cream cheese. If there's a recipe I like but the ingredients don't quite jive with the calories I want to eat, I modify. For example, switch out olive oil for avocado oil. Small tweaks can make a big difference.

    I also do use the recipe importer on MFP, but before I match ingredients, I go through each line and type in the brand or type I know I have on hand and THEN do the ingredient matching. If the calories are too high, I make adjustments (often it is reducing the amount of oil is used) or making sure the portion distribution is correct.

    So many places to look! I love cooking new things. Does anyone have a great homemade spaghetti sauce recipe? I really want one that cans well for my next garden season. I love putting up my own veggies!
