I look for something that is quick, cheap and I can double easily. I have 5 growing boys and these things are a must!

Right now, I am looking for recipes that the kids will eat that don't use a lot of processed ingredients. Real Simple usually does a good job of using wholesome ingredients, so I bet it's a great book!

Something different!
A new take on an old recipe. I love to try new things.
My husband is grateful I'm not that way with men ;-)

The more I cook, the more I realize that good, simple homemade food is almost ALWAYS better than a prepared version you can buy. So when I look for recipes, I not only look for uncomplicated and simple, but also for a recipe that combines really really fresh ingredients that create a delicious combination!

I look for something quick, easy, and preferably healthy! I'm not very good in the kitchen, so I really want something accessible.

I look for recipes that look (sound) good, have everyday non-fancy ingreadients, are simple to make…and are healthy.

Ingredients that I have and are easy to work with. They also have to be nutritious.

I always look for few (i.e. cheap) ingredients and quick cooking time.

I look for simpicity–if it has more than 5 or 6 ingredients, I usually move on! Thanks for the giveaway!

I look at a list of what is called for in the recipe. If it is in my pantry all the better. I look at the time and the work involved in making the project.

I don't mind a lot of ingredients -as long as they aren't too expensive. Hopefully it isn't too difficult; and if it Looks & Tastes Great -It's Worth It!
