    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!)

    I like the "Healthy College Cookbook". Its on amazon for kindle at like $2. You can also read it as a cloud reader if you don't have a kindle.

    Many weight watchers recipes are useful because of the many veggies they contain (and therefore filling yet not too many calories). You can find them online eg on pinterest and on blogs or in cookbooks.

    Another idea is to look up recipes on google in other countries (if you know the language sufficiently). For example try out www.google.fr and look up "real" French weight loss recipes...

    Kalyn's Kitchen has lots of great low carb recipes, mostly tuned to a South Beach type diet. I find I have to pay attention to calories per serving and types of fat in some of these recipes, but I haven't cooked anything from here that wasn't completely delicious. Lots of great crock pot recipes!

    NomNom Paleo also has fabulous recipes. Again, I find I have to pay attention to calories and serving size (but that might be because I'm on 1400/day right now).

    I use allrecipes.com a lot, pinterest is great for having everything in one spot, but I'm seeing some listed here I'm going to give a go. Thanks for this thread :)
