OH, i'm SOoo glad someone bumped this or posted on it again, i'd been LOOKING for this thread, and couldn't remember where i'd seen it. (searching for threads with "recipes" turns up 100s of threads, lol)
I wanted to investigate the other sites listed above. THANKS to whoever bumped this!!
Here is one site, HERE
>
http://www.kraftrecipes.com/home.aspx
which i LOVE, but, i suspect the healthnuts among us will scoff,
BUT,
this site has several features,
like ways to find recipes by typing in what ingredients you have, in the feature called
"Use What's On Hand"
so so handy.
IT ALSO LISTS THE CALORIES AND NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF EACH RECIPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See, this Kraft.com site tends to have recipes with a fairly limited ingredient list, most of which many of us might have in our kitchens already. Just plain ordinary ingredients.
Sure, it's fun to google exotic ingredients, try to find where to buy them, and fun to make elaborate recipes with 8 steps and 20 ingredients.
BUT
for just every day use, i like Kraftrecipe.com. It has seasonal recipes, party recipes, etc
and lots and lots of ways to sort recipes, like "low budget recipes" "fast and easy" etc etc.
It also has a section for lower calorie recipes, HERE
>
http://www.kraftrecipes.com/healthy-living-ideas/main.aspx
and i often tweak some of the 'normal' recipes a bit to lower the calories anyway.
It's GREAT to read the reviews under each recipe, prior to making it, so if, like 20 people say "don't cook it for 15 minutes, only cook it for 10 minutes" or "leave out the so&so ingredient, it's better that way" or "this was too bland, so i added garlic and it was tastier" or whatever.
SO, reading the reviews can be helpful, sometimes.
anyway, as someone on a budget, Kraftrecipe.com is my first "go to" recipe site, and it's a rare day when i can not find what i am looking for on it.0 -
wow, i finally did explore around every site the others here listed, and wow, some very great sites indeed! Now i can't remember which ones WERE my favorites, (i have 'saved' all these sites)
but i loved that skinnytaste.com site, YUM!! loved that one a lot, and some others, too.0 -
