Allrecipes.com

Check out http://allrecipes.com/Recipes/Healthy-Living/Main.aspx if you like to cook and are looking for some new ideas. The site is broken down into appetizers, main dishes, healthy salads, and side dishes. There are sixteen categories under the "Diets' headline, which include dairy-free and low-calorie. Pretty much there is something for everyone because it addresses different health concerns and issues related to food.

There is also a tab called view recipes and people can email in their recipes in this section. You can rate the recipe (five stars is the best). One thing that looks really good is the "Fabulous Fruit Salad."

INGREDIENTS
1 red apple, cored and chopped
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and chopped
1 nectarine, pitted and sliced
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 (8 ounce) container nonfat lemon yogurt

DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, combine red apple, Granny Smith apple, nectarine, celery, dried cranberries, and walnuts. Mix in yogurt. Chill until ready to serve.

I thought the fruit salad sounded and looked delicious. The picture definitely makes you want to try it and the idea of it in general makes me think of summer! There are hundreds of recipes on this site, so I'm sure everyone could find something they would enjoy.
