Looking for some additional cookbooks and sites. Our current "Go-To Bible" is Bonnie Stern's Heart Smart. The recipes are so easy and she includes substitutions and great nutritional details. Our favorites include the Balsamic Spa Dressing, Cedar Plank Salmon, Penne with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes and Bocconcini, and Roasted Cauliflower. Any other good ideas?

    Skinnytaste.com and She has a cookbook out now. All her recipes have a calorie count and a weight watchers point count. I've been using her site for years... We LOVE almost every recipe (especially the crock pot Santa Fe chicken) and I love that I can make healthy meals that my family enjoys as well as taking care of me. :)

    I love Skinnytaste.com. Some recipes take a little longer but I don't think I've made one I haven't liked yet. There's definitely some quick recipes too though, or you can always prep the meals ahead of time.

    ellie Krieger use to be on Food Network. She had a book that is about easy and quick meals. It is very healthy with no fad diets and really good.

    Myrecipes.com, food.com, cooking light.com, any number. Pinterest is the best to have a lot in one place.

    www.budgetbytes.com - she is awesome. So simple and most are easy to sub low calorie options/ already low in calories. I have never had a bad recipe off there

    If you're in the UK then the Hairy Dieters cookbook is great. Recipes are all calorie counted and dead easy to make. Just joined this group and looks fab!

    I like the Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/pb/recipes) -- you can select lots of different options for quick, healthy, different ingredients, etc. And I've had way more success with their recipes than with ones I find on Pinterest or other places online. They seem to do a good job testing them in advance.

    I love Emily bites. Her recipes are very simple but they are very delicious. She lists all the nutritional information and even weight watchers points

    The Vegan Stoner is my FAVORITE recipe blog. They also have two books out, and I own them both. I'm not vegan myself, but the recipes are incredibly easy, customizeable, and (mostly) good for you. Those guys taught me how to cook. I owe them my whole life.

    There's also a Tumblr blog called No-More-Ramen that's targeted specifically to college students but also has an emphasis on simplicity and accessibility for people with chronic illnesses or disabilities. I love them, too.

    I don't follow the plan - but I do pinch some of the slimming world recipes - there's some on their site, and a load more on Pinterest (which as someone mentioned earlier is a fab source of recipes!)
