FOOD Websites

...I am just not very 'culinary' oriented.  I guess I just lack inspiration in the kitchen.  And truly it is to my DH's expense.... poor guy, he is so skinny!

Does anyone out there have some inspiring food/recipe websites that they like to depend on?  The old cookbook just isnt doin it for me anymore...

I would love any help you could provide!!!  TIA!!!

I go to the What's for Dinner board and look at people's blogs.  A lot of the nesties have cooking blogs, and they post pictures and reviews.  It's great for ideas!!

Well, I am ALWAYS trying new cookbooks.  You might try Half Price Books for some new cookbooks.

I also get a lot of ideas from www.allrecipes.com and www.kraftkitchens.com.

I love Cooking Light.com and the What's For Dinner part of this board.  There are a couple girls on there that I just check out there blogs everyday and it is good for motivation.  I have a blog, too.  (in sig)

And if you want tips on fattening your dh, I pretty much caused my XH to gain about 25 lbs when we first started dating

My DH always use www.foodnetwork.com for recipes. I also check out www.bhg.com. I have found great recipes from both sites!

I have just about all of Rachel Ray's cookbooks and as annoying as she might be on-air, she makes tons of delicious food.  "365: No Repeats" is a great book to start with.  If you watch her show on the food network, it can be quite addicting (if you can stand her enthusiasm).

I love www.epicurious.com.  Some of the recipes are a little lengthy and have lots of ingredients, but I've always had excellent results.  Reading the reviews after each recipe is really helpful for suggestions and ingredient substitutions.

You can also check out the library to try-before-you-buy on cookbooks. We got a Robin Miller cookbook for our wedding that we've used a lot, and I've also been using Google Reader to keep up-to-date on nestie food blogs. I like reading the blogs because they usually note substitutions, what worked/didn't, etc.

I also subscribed to receive the free Kraft magazines through their website. Obviously, they use mostly Kraft products, but they're pretty simple recipes with a lot of variations and photos for each recipe. I found them a good place to start learning basic recipes.

We also started keeping a categorized list of recipes we tried & liked - it makes it easier to make up our weekly menus when we can remember some of our choices without digging through all of our cookbooks.
