i LOVE skinnytaste.com!! what websites are your faves?

Options
I recently found out about skinnytaste.com through doing a search on the message boards, and it's AMAZING!!!! Such fabulous recipes and for those of you who are on Weight Watchers, you can search for recipes by points. I made the adobo chicken last nite, and just made the avocado chicken soup today. Absolute yummers! It's great to find a website like this that makes me excited to go grocery shopping and to cook such delicious and healthy recipes.

The only thing I'm sad about is that I cook just for myself, so I have to wait a couple days before I can try out another entree recipe on her site. ;)

I'm excited to share this website with those of you who are newbies on MFP like myself! But I also would love to hear, what websites about health/fitness/nutrition do you just HAVE to visit on a regular basis? :)

    Great topic - I don't have any to share but an interested to hear what others say.

    The only thing I'll say about hungrygirl.com is that I was disapointed with how much processed/packaged food she pushed... it's been a long time since I subscribed to her email so maybe it changed but it didn't seem like she promoted fresh food enough.

    This has nothing to do with food or weight loss but my favorite website is http://www.goodreads.com . It is a site for people who like/love to read and discuss books/authors. You can meet others with similar tastes in books and I'm sure you can find a good health book to read :)

    I agree! I used to love her emails, and even bought the book, but now I never look at it anymore, because of the processed food and artificial sweeteners.

    My absolute favourite website is www.thegraciouspantry.com - amazing recipes - all clean, non-processed foods! :)

    I agree about Hungry Girl. Her recipes are highly dependent on artificial sweeteners and "fake" foods like cool whip. I still subscribe because I'll take her ideas/recipes and use them as jumping off points to make my own recipes and dishes. A friend got the hubby and I two of her cookbooks for Christmas and, just on thumbing through them, I can't see myself using many of the recipes.

    I'm not much of a cook so I love that skinnytaste has a bunch of crock pot dishes. Thank you so much for sharing.

    thanks for the new sites that i can bookmark! :) in surfing the web just now, i came across a great fitness blog: http://www.fitnessspotlight.com/

    i also remembered one site that i like (and which i should visit more often!) -- The World's Healthiest Foods: http://whfoods.org/. For each food, they'll provide a description of its benefits (well referenced too!) and suggestions on how to store, prepare, and cook it.
