Recipes Needed

Hi everyone:

When it comes to food at home, we've fallen into a rut.  We eat the same things just about every week.  I need ideas!!!  Does anyone have a website/cookbook/blog they follow for good recipes?  I need ideas for some quick/relatively easy meals as DH and I are rarely home together at the same time.  OR ideas of meals I can prepare and then freeze to eat at a later time.

 

Re: Recipes Needed

  • I use allrecipes.com a lot.  You can just search by any type of food, or type in "garlic chicken" or "tilapia" or something like that, and they have lots of good ones.  I never made anything I didn't like.  Sometimes i tweak them a little to our taste, but overall, I like it a lot.  GL!

  • I sat down with my MIL and copied a bunch of hers that I like or DH likes.  I have also used the website Nicole mentioned above. 
  • I get a lot of ideas from the Eating Well website and get their newsletter via email several days a week.  My husband and I also rarely have meals together during the week due to work and school and I am very fussy in that I won't eat most frozen or prepared meals.  I do keep frozen Mahi Mahi burgers from Whole Foods on hand in an emergency.  During the cooler weather we like to eat soups which we make on the weekends, often freezing some.

    I don't generally cook from recipes and read them more to get ideas than exact amounts.  I don't have time right now to share many of them with you but if you PM me I'll send you some of my favorites.

  • We'll frequently buy the little recipe books that are on the check out lanes at the grocery store.  We can always find a handful of recipes in there that we think we'd like to try.

  • I really love cooking magazines.  Fine Cooking and Cuisine at Home are my favorites.  They both have some fancier things, but also tons of recipes that come together quickly and inexpensively.  I also make a lot of soups (chicken noodle tonight Smile) or things that don't really require a recipe like chicken salad sandwiches and enchiladas.
