Recently I stumbled upon this website called Myrecipes.com recipes, after looking for new and interesting recipes that are not on the normal website. When I first glance at the website I noticed that the site had a new recipe that you can try for dinner, it was a pretty good way to test out new recipes on the kiddies. There are also easy instructions which you can print out in a recipe card book for easy access. The only downfall which was major in my book was the limited recipes that this site has to offer. Overall, this site is nice but if you are looking for a wider variety of recipes that try the other big name sites.

Myrecipes.com is a well designed website, making it fun to use. The site boasts over 30,000 recipes and is affiliated with Southern Living and Cooking Light magazines, as well as several others. Each day dinner suggestions are featured on the homepage. Nice for a quick idea. The sections are cleverly tabbed to look like the cards in a recipe box. The site has a feature which allows you to save recipes, just like a real recipe box. Not only does it have the typical recipe finder feature, but it also has an area for quick recipes, parties & menus and seasonal/holiday recipes, as well as a healthy cooking section. How to videos are available on the site as well.

My Recipes has a very eye appealing site. Everything seems well organized and easy to use, but as I browsed through the recipes, functions and features I was on the disappointed side. I looked for recipes that I had found on some of the other recipe sites as a benchmark. No Bake cookies are a favorite in this household as is homemade dumplings for stews. The cookie recipe was a complete wash; all I got back from the search was a list of sponsor sites. As for the dumplings, there was a variety of those, but none for just dumplings; it was either the whole recipe for chicken and dumplings or whatever and dumplings or apple dumplings, etc, etc. I don't want to have to wade through the recipe to find the dumpling part.

I was also disappointed that they didn't have any conversion tables, but they do provide nutritional information for each of the recipes. 30,000 recipes is what the site boasts and that is a lot, so perhaps if I was without a definite type of recipe in mind it would be a fun site to peruse.
