    I love skinnytaste recipe site!!


    I used Kraftrecipe.com for YEARS and years,
    and even though i am now trying to diet,
    i still use Kraftrecipes.

    Most of the recipes are very simple:bigsmile:
    very quick,
    and call for only a FEW ingredients per recipe,:smile: and most of the items are things i already have in the kitchen,
    not exotic stuff that i don't even know what it is.

    Sometimes it IS fun to cook up something special, and use 20 ingredients and 80 steps,:bigsmile:
    but for day to day recipes, i often go to kraftrecipes.com.
    >http://www.kraftrecipes.com/home.aspx


    Also, I LOVE THE FEATURE CALLED "Use What's On Hand"
    where you can list 2 or 3 ingredients that you DO have, and tons of recipes pop up for you.:bigsmile:


    this kraft site lists the calories of every recipe. If it is not low enough calories, i can usually swap out a few ingredients to lower the calorie count.

    It has a neat way to "save" your favorite recipes in a feature called "My recipe box" or something.

    It has a way to "add these ingredients to shopping list", and you can delete the ingredients you already own, prior to hitting print.

    It has tons of comments under most recipes, which are very helpful to read prior to cooking the recipe. I really like that feature, and sometimes, i will adjust the actual recipe based on readers' reviews, like "too spicey!" or "not spicey enough" or "don't cook it 20 minutes, only for 10 minutes!" etc etc.
    and most recipes have ratings, so if it has 5-star rating, you can feel pretty sure it WILL taste good.:bigsmile:


    ALSO, THERE IS A "HEALTHY LIVING" section for lower calorie recipes
    http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/healthy-living/healthy-living-recipes/main.aspx

    and a diabetic recipe area
    http://www.kraftrecipes.com/healthy-living-ideas/diabetes-center/main.aspx


    also a budget recipe area
    http://www.kraftrecipes.com/budget-tips/main.aspx

    and tons of other recipe categories, like cooking for kids, parties, etc. etc.
