Looking for some new recipes beyond our website? I’ve recently discovered www.myrecipes.com. You can sign up for their free newsletter called Dinner Tonight. During the week, each day you will receive an e-mail with a recommended recipe for dinner that night. The recipes are pulled from Cooking Light, Southern Living, Sunset, Real Simple, and Health. The nutritional information is provided along with the serving size.
What I’ve enjoyed about the website is that it has a “recipe file” feature that I can save recipes to. Therefore, it saves me some time in researching new recipes to try. I simply receive an email – if it sounds good, I save it; if I think I would never make it, I delete the email and go about my day. When I’m ready to try something new, I just go into my saved file and pick something from there. There is also a meal planning feature where you can use their recipes or even add your own.
Remember the guidelines we discuss at H3 – you may have to substitute white rice for brown or decrease the amount of oil used every once in awhile, but all in all, it gives you some more diversity to strive for in your meal planning.
What other resources or apps do you find helpful with meal planning? Please share!
