I hardly ever look for recipes on the 'Net. If I am looking for ideas
I will probably go to Food Network because there are enough recipes
from reliable sources for me to get the gist of how to prepare.
Because sometimes you are just looking for something to fit around
what you have in the fridge as leftovers or as fresh. Yesterday I was
looking for a basic but different stir fry sauce and just typed stir
fry sauce into my search engine. That's how I ended up at yumly. It
gave me what I needed.
