What is a good online site to get easy and affordable food recipes?

My budget is slim and I am feeding four adults. Anyone?

I like yummly. They collect recipes from popular bloggers. You can specify a certain ingredient in your search and you will get numerous recipes.

I get a lot of recipes off of allrecipes.com. Just mostly home cooks that post on there. I go on there almost everyday and always find something good to make.

Why not come over to Recipe Swap? People will be glad to help with frugal recipes.

Strive for respect instead of attention. It lasts longer.

I go all over the place to get different ideas.

I don't know if you have already checked out any of these other websites, but there is also Kraft Foods, Campbell's Kitchen, and Pillsbury and Betty Crocker.

If you are interested in any of them, you can sign-up for free.

Omgoodness yes, allrecipes.com or download their app. You can search by whatever criteria you need, pasta, chicken, crockpot.... and what I love about them is people rate the recipes and come back and add reviews. I guess I should mention that recipes are added by people like us.

I always look for recipes rated 5 stars (I'm NOT a cook) and everyone has always loved whatever I've found and made. Be sure to read at least some of the reviews, sometimes the recipe will be off with a typo (like oven temp or ingredient measure) and people will mention it or most others will say the sauce needs to be doubled or it's even better if you add cinnamon, stuff like that.

I haven't bothered with any other recipe site or book in years and even though they suggest you subscribe or pay, I think for dinner suggestions??? Anyway I've never paid anything.

And also the app has a built-in grocery list so you can add ingredients from a recipe then go to the list and delete what you already have.

I'm truly horrible at supper ideas and coming up with stuff on my own and allrecipes got me thru my years raising my kids.
