There are two ways to go....get a few basic cookbooks so you can start trying recipes. BEST bet are a favorite magazine's annual cookbook--it has a years worth of recipes and no ads. Anything from Martha Stewart to Better Homes %26amp; Gardens, Taste of Home or Southern Living Magazine (annual cookbook). It is all about YOUR taste! (3rd %26amp; 4th links are an example of an annual cookbooks.) It is nice to find what you like and go back to a cookbook for years....it turns into a family tradition/favorite.





The OTHER direction is use the internet for your cookbook collection and print out the recipes you like. One of my favorite to work with is the link below...allrecipe.





For example, on the home page, left side, click on CHICKEN. And just keep on clicking! What I really like is that these dishes are rated by other cooks so if the rating is HIGH (5 stars) and over 100 votes, it is usually worth trying!





The second link is also that side, but you can put in the ingredients you have on hand (and ingredients you don't want such as mushrooms) and it will give you great ideas!





For my last dinner party over half the dishes were from this site (and I have over 1200 cookbooks..)





Happy cooking!What are some good everyday dinner recipes?
