Need some food inspiration!

Are there any good websites or perhaps even Instagram pages with healthy and tasty recipes?

What are your favourite meals?

Thanks in advance

Pinterest. I have a board for food in general and a board for more careful eating.

Do you have any specific food preferences or dietary needs? I follow a Keto diet and have gluten and dairy and soy allergies/intolerances, so I tend to search hashtags on Instagram that fit within my needs/preferences and then browse pictures that way. Also, sometimes if stuff looks really good I'll check out the page it's from and have found several people to follow that way as well.

My list of tried and true favorite recipes (too much? Sorry lol!!) the only one I haven't tried yet is the mint cookies but they looked so good so I added them to the list to try next. Some of these are passed down recipes from my family (artichokes are my great grandmothers recipe from Italy but revised to make them in a crock pot). I make several of these every week. All tasty but remember to eat in moderation 😊. I really recommend the stir fry, carrabas lentil soup, artichokes, fahjita bowls, stuffed peppers and coconut shrimp.

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES:

Tiffany's watermelon wine:

I just cut up about 2-3 cups of watermelon and then used 1 bottle of cheap sweet white wine (crisp white from aldis or even some moscato works great) then 1 bottle of either sprite or citrus soda of some kind. That makes a big pitcher so if you don't want that much then just equal parts of wine and soda then throw in watermelon and any other fruit. You can really get creative with it and its refreshing but not too strong 😊
