Looking for good recipe sites

Here's one I use. It's fairly handy, and you can narrow down your selection by various health goals, too.

My go-to sites include:
www.skinnytaste.com (I just posted on an earlier thread my favorites include Bakes Spaghetti Squash and Cheese, Crockpot Santa Fe Chicken, Mushroom Stroganoff, Sausage Filled Zucchini Boats. She has low fat recipes that are normal portion sizes and most are pretty easy to make. I have been making at least one of her recipes one to two times per week now for about a month, I love her!)
www.canyoustayfordinner.com (not a recipe site per say, but she has a terrific, and inspirational story, is a GREAT writer and some REALLY good recipes on here)
www.cookinglight.com (You can search on here by calories, so if you want a 350 calorie dinner, just type it in)
www.pinterest.com (I have a ton on my board, but if you just type in "healthy recipe" in the search box, a ton will show up. Try it with "healthy chicken" or "healthy shrimp" etc.)
I do use three South Beach cookbooks regularly (one is Quick and Easy, the other are just basic South Beach recipes) and I have another recipe book Everyday Food Light that I use constantly (www.everydayfood.com) You can find these for cheap on www.half.com.
Good luck!0 -

There are some great recipes on the BBC Good Food website. They're quick and simple to make, have all the nutritional info listed and have just about all been delicious. A lot of them are already captured when you search MFP foods too.
Take a look here:

I LOVE when a recipe I use is already in the database
I find a lot of Cooking Light, Skinnytaste and South Beach recipes are in the database as well.0 -

Bump...thanks for new ideas! I've been using the same sites all the time.0

www.hungry-girl.com
You get a daily email if you sign up and can find lots of recipes on her website. A few personal faves are the BLT pizza and The Whole Enchilada Chicken Soup. Not only that, there are all kinds of product reviews and links to other things as well. I've found so many great new foods/recipes thanks to that site!0 -
There is an app called Spark Recipes you can download. It has a bazillion healthy recipes and you can search for things. Type in "low calorie", "low fat", "low carb" or whatever you are doing and it will pull them up. You can save to favorites so they are there when you need them. And the app is FREE!!0
