As a stay-at-home mom, I do a lot of cooking, meal planning, and food shopping. A lot of weeks I fall back on familiar recipes, but sometimes I am still stumped for ideas of what to make for dinner! Fortunately, the internet has provided us with an endless supply of inspiration through websites related just to food. You can google a recipe and be taken to any number of websites, all with their own version. Or you can sign up with different food-related sites and get emails sent right to your inbox with meal ideas (and sometimes corresponding coupons). Although you need to be diligent with deleting any messages you're not interested in, I've found that I like getting emails with dinner ideas. The two that I really like are the Betty Crocker "Dinner Made Easy" emails and the Food Network Newsletter. What's nice about the Diner Made Easy recipes is that they usually use short-cuts: jarred sauce instead of fresh, biscuit mix instead of pastry dough, and brownie/cookie mix instead of batter from scratch! (Yes, there are desserts too!) Here is where you can sign up for free:

Food Network has great recipes as well, but sometimes they are more involved (which is not a bad thing). There are a number of newsletters you can choose from, including one with only healthier recipes! You can register for free here:

Of course, who can forget the plethora of foodies that create blogs and post all of their wonderful recipes and photos of how it is supposed to turn out? (Some even post step-by-step photos while they are cooking -- that is commitment!) I just recently stumbled across this one and found lots of recipes I'd love to try: http://culinaryinfatuation.blogspot.com/ but there are tons more, so check some of them out today and get a little inspired in the kitchen!
