Favorite cooking blogs/recipe sites?
I'm in a cooking slump and need some new recipes. What are your favorite sites? TIA!

Cooking with Crouton: A Food Blog
I love foodgawker for recipes.
ETA - remember back in the day when people actually had cookbooks? My mom had a few shelves full of them in our kitchen growing up. I can't imagine that now.

I like Annie's Eats, Brown Eyed Baker, Beantown Baker, Confections of a Foodie Bride, and The Way the Cookie Crumbles.
I'm also a lover of cookbooks. My all time favorite is The New Best Recipe cookbook. Everything I've made from this cookbook has been really good.
poor girl eats well; eating well; think dinner
I still use my BH&G cookbook almost every week. It just has lots of basic information that I refer to again and again.
I still use cookbooks-I have a few
There's something about thumbing through tangible pages that I really like.
I use a combination of cookbooks and websites. Usually, I have an idea and an ingredient, i.e. slow cooker cabbage recipes and then I do a Google search. I seem to end up using allrecipes.com I don't always use blogs, since I am vegetarian and too lazy to find a good vegetarian recipes blog (good = easy to make with common ingredients).
My favorite cookbooks are Fast and Fat-Free 30 minute Vegetarian Recipes, Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone (the Bible of Vegetarian cooking), and Vegetarian Americana (makes old favorite recipes vegetarian). In "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone", it is organized more by ingredient. There is a section for each vegetable and it gives tips on how to cook them and specific recipes. There are also sections on beans, grains, pasta, sauces and a small section on breads and desserts).
While I like online recipes, I either have to print them out (and then find a binder to put them in if I like them) or keep my laptop in the kitchen when I cooking. Unfortunately, I don't have enough counter space for a laptop when I am cooking something major...
Definitely ditto Pinterest! I have so many things pinned that it's turning into an "online cookbook".
