What’s for Dinner?

The other day I looked in the fridge and found a bunch of miscellaneous ingredients and was trying to decide how to morph them into dinner. I went to my computer and typed in my secret weapon: Allrecipes.com. After typing my ingredients into the search box I was given a bunch of possibilities. This site is made up of a community of cooks that submit recipes and photos. It’s also a forum for comments. Sometimes the comments are pivotal in deciding if it’s the right recipe for our family or if someone else’s additions or corrections sound like a good idea.

I did a Google search to find other options. I found My recipes.com. I was intrigued by this site because it features recipes from magazines like Cooking Light and Southern Living. I used to subscribe to Cooking Light, but let the subscription go because I wasn’t completing one issue before the next one arrived. I always enjoyed their recipes. So I was thrilled to find this resource.

I also found Cooking.com. The recipes are just one section of a site filled with cookware, bakeware, tableware and more. (There recipe section works the same way as All recipes.)

On those days when a child is sick, the weather is bad or you just don’t want to go to the grocery store, these sites are a lifesaver!
