My favorite place to look for something new is on Pinterest. There are so many different options on there to choose from. Once I find one we really like I will write the recipe on a card and keep it in my recipe book. I am not strictly vegan, but PickUpLimes.com has some really great vegan recipes. When I'm not feeling like eating meat this is my go-to place for recipes. You could also use the recipe and just add chicken or beef or whatever type of meat you're craving/have on hand. PickUpLimes also has a YouTube channel where she does videos of her making most of her recipes. That way you can either read it or watch it and follow along. She's also a nutritionist so she explains why she chooses to use certain ingredients, gives you tips on better ways to cook things to get more nutrition out of them, and has some good kitchen tips as well.

I love going onto Pinterest to search for recipes. I also tend to look at websites Drizzle Me Skinny and Skinny Points Recipes for weight watcher friendly recipes.

So am I! I noticed that my food pins get re-pinned a lot so I made a new board called "Recipes I have tried and were good."--not a very elegant name but it does the job.

Detoxinista and Budget Bytes are blogs that have recipes that I come back to a lot.

I love the Tasty videos that I see posted on Facebook all the time. The recipes always look so amazing, but I have never actually took the plunge and cooked any of them. I’ve never been much of a cook unfortunately.

I never stick for one blog. It depends on which type of food I want to prepare. Sorted food for tried and tested recepies, gemma stafford for baking, many Indian websites like rak's, swayampaaka for Indian cuisine

I don’t have a favorite. I usually look up what I want to make and pick something that has the best reviews.

Jamie Oliver website has some wonderful recipes that are fairly easy to follow. At the moment, I am enjoying his soup recipes.
