Easy Recipe-Finding

Do you ever have a surplus of a certain ingredient (in my case, it's usually produce) that you'd like to use in a recipe, but dread finding recipes that contain that ingredient? Well, the web has made that easier. Most cooking and recipe sites allow you to search by ingredient (www.cookinglight.com, www.allrecipes.com, www.epicurious.com). Yet Google has created a unique web-searching tool that is very helpful.... It's called "Cooking with Google." Just search for this phrase on the Google homepage to bring up a link to the search site (I believe it's the 2nd match that comes up).

You can search by any ingredient or keyword....and if you want to look for "blueberries" but don't want MUFFINS, just put a minus directly beside the word you want to leave out of the search (in this case, type this in the search box: blueberries -muffins).

I've found that this really cuts down on my time that I used to spend thumbing through indexes looking at all the recipes by ingredient.
