Recipes and Inexpensive Ingredients

If you are looking for delicious and nutritious recipes, below are several websites that offer not only inexpensive recipes, but also provide healthy and tasty ones.

Campbell soup has a plethora of recipes with all the ingredients costing no more than $10. Families will not only find recipes that do not include soup, they will also find information about portion guidelines and healthy substitutes. There is a host of information on diets for children, weight management and nutrition basics.

Family.go.com offers 20 wholesome and nutritional recipes the whole family can enjoy. Recipes range from those that are quick and easy to family dinners and to holidays and parties. Many of the ideas for meat substitutions greatly reduce the cost of many meat dishes.

There is also a "how to do" video that demonstrates how to make a variety of pastries, such as "space shuttle cake" and "French breakfast muffins." The little ones will certainly enjoy helping to make the "green dinosaur cake" for Saint Patrick's Day or the "snail snack" or the "ladybug cake." http://family.go.com/food/recipe-618215-healthy-fami ly-recipes-t/?CMP=KNC-GoogFamily_fam_google_food_hea lthy-eating_20-recipes

There is something for every family member at Kraft foods.com. You will find something for the "choosey eaters," "the vegetarians," and all the "healthy eaters" in the family as well as kraft's own special cache. Many of the recipes have been rated by other cooks. You may want to join the community of cooks on this site and share your thoughts on a number of nutritional issues.

There is a "Healthy living" component that provides recipes for diabetics and meals for fitness planners. http://www.kraftfoods.com/KF/DINNER/Top10RecipeLists /ChickenRecipes.htm?smid=1002075
