Another online source for recipes - Kitchen Assistant

Sometimes I wonder to myself how some of my friends can even say something like "I couldn't get any work done today. I was on MySpace all day long." On MySpace? All day? What on earth are you looking at on MySpace for eight hours?!?!

Because it doesn't occur to me that they probably think the same thing of me when I say was online looking at recipes all day long.

I could surf and browse recipe databases all day long. In the morning, look for something to make for lunch. In the afternoon, look for something to make for dinner that night. At night while the tv is flickering in the background, look for recipes for the weekend. Yep, I could look at recipes all day long, espceially since there are several large databases of recipes online, the newest of which I came across, the Kitchen Assistant. It is located on the food channel (web channel, not tv) of aol, and has two sections. One section consists of 20,000+ recipes published in magazines like Cooking Light and Southern Living. A second section consists of recipes submitted by users, so it's not quite as robust, but it's growing. Take a peek. You can browse through categories or search if you already have something in mind.
