3 Tips for Finding a Good Recipe

Cookbooks galore. 

Internet recipe sites.

Food blogs. 

Pinterest.

Sometimes it can be overwhelming to find a good recipe. 

Here are my Top 3 Tips for Finding a Good Recipe:

1. Look for ingredients your family enjoys.
2. Look for ingredients you regularly cook with, but perhaps are used in a different way.
3. Look for strong reviews or comments of people who have actually made the recipe with success. 

When I look at recipes online, I go by these three item all the time.  If there are recipes that use ingredients we don’t regularly have on hand, or ingredients that we don’t like, that’s not going to be a recipe for us. 

I might initially find a recipe that looks appealing based on a photo, but if the comments only consist of “oh, that looks great!” – and the ingredient list doesn’t match up to what we would typically cook with, I am hesitant to give it a try. 

What about you, how do you find a good recipe?
