My absolute favorite website for recipes is allrecipes.com. You can search by ingredient: say all you have on hand is some canned tomatoes, onion, and ground beef; you can enter those ingredients into their "ingredient search" and it will show you recipes that use them. It's a pretty popular site so a lot of recipes are are rated. I generally only try recipes that have an overall star rating of 4 or higher, and that have been reviewed by at least 20 people.

If I knew what you were in the mood for, I could give you a dozen ideas. If you want healthy, soups, quesadillas, and pasta dishes might be good, easy options. Good luck!

Try Food Network website it has all the different chefs with all kinds of recipes to choose from, most are quite healthy. My favorites are Rachael Ray and Paula Dean, and Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee. If you like Italian food, Everyday Italian with Giada De Laurentis is great. Also all of these recipes are very easy to make. I have made quite a few of them, and they are really good. Happy taste buds!

Answer 10

Curried Prawns on brown rice.

Slowly cook the prawns in small amount of butter and garlic. A simple curry adds a wonderful flavour. (Curry with sour cream is my fav)
