Free Food and Recipe Widgets

Cooking and grocery shopping are two of my least favorite activities.  I avoid the grocery store as much as possible and only enter my kitchen when it is absolutely necessary.  But, for those of you who love cooking and enjoy trying new recipes, here are the widgets for you. Recipes galore with some food safety tips thrown in for good measure.

The Food Channel

Who doesn't love The Food Channel?  Fresh food trends and recipes delivered to your website or blog daily with these widgets.  They come in a thin style for sidebars also.

Download a new Better Homes and Gardens recipe every day for free with this widget.  Choose from several categories -- 20-min meals, one-dish dinners, and slow cooker recipes.

Tap into Kraft's huge database of recipes directly from your computer.  You can download the widget to your desktop or embed in your blog, website or favorite social networking page. Just grab it.

Recipe Puppy beta

Recipe Puppy is an ingredient-based search engine, a tool for finding recipes from various cooking websites that match the ingredients in your refrigerator or cupboard.  Enter your ingredients separated by commas and voilą. I plugged in chocolate and asparagus and got 20,000+ recipes. If anyone gives this a try and finds it successful for your needs, I would be interested to hear feedback. Seems like a cool idea.
