where do you get your recipes from?

You ladies have all wonderful ideas and I was just wondering where you get your recipes from. Do you research them? Are they passed down to you? Or do you create your own?
I am not really the best cook and I want to be better, but right now all I can really cook is chicken.
Thanks.

Re: where do you get your recipes from?

My favorite site is allrecipes.com...I get a lot of recipes from there.

Also, I follow Weight Watchers, so I use recipes from their magazine.

And finally, cookbooks. I love love love to cook and have about 20 vegetarian cookbooks. If you don't want to buy one before trying it, just check it out at your library

I usually get the inspiration from a recipe and then work from there. Sometimes I'll eat something in a restaurant and try to replicate it at home too - if it's really good I'll ask for a recipe, but if they won't give it or don't have it I will do my best to identify the flavors.

Mostly Taste of Home...

I like simple recipes that don't call for random ingredients or spices.

My picky DH loves this casserole.

Also allrecipes.com.

I am a beginner cook so I'm no help if you're looking for gourmet ideas.

Other than that I think of what I want to make, google it and pick one of the recipes.

Re: where do you get your recipes from?

Mostly allrecipes.com. I love that you can sort the recipes by their ratings and that many have hundreds of ratings. How can you go wrong with a recipe that has been rated 5 stars by a thousand people!

I also use the foodnetwork site but it's definitely not as easy to browse.
