Plan meals with TodayShow.com recipes

Cowboy-cut means "a cut of steak with the bone in, for true cowboys to use as a handle."

You might just be looking for TodayShow.com recipes because they sound delicious, but TodayShow.com recipes could end up saving you money, too. If there’s one thing I’ve learned since moving out of our dear old mum and dad’s, it’s that walking around the grocery store tossing everything that strikes my fancy into the cart can end up being very expensive.

Planning meals out in advance is a great way to save money because that way you only buy what you need. You don’t end up needing an emergency payday loan because you spent more  than you planned at the grocery store.

Seeking inspiration

The one thing that’s tough about planning all of your meals in advance is that sometimes it’s tough to find inspiration. No one wants to eat the same meals over and over again, not even your picky kids. OK, maybe them. I think I survived on nothing but tacos and spaghetti when I was in elementary school.

Still, it’s good to have as many recipe resources as possible, and TodayShow.com now has a recipes section for you to utilize. However, you must know what you are looking for before you get there.

Using TodayShow.com recipes section

The TodayShow.com Food & Wine section features the recipe for the dish that was prepared on the show that day. For instance, today the recipe for “Cowboy Cut” ribeye is displayed.

However, if you want a different recipe that has been on the show before, you have to type in a search term. There’s no comprehensive list of recipes that have been featured on the Today Show. Here’s where I think the site could make an improvement and help out viewers and cooks.

As it is now, the best way to seek inspiration is to type in a generic term such as “chicken,” “pasta” or “vegetarian.” Broad terms will return a big list of recipes.

More resources

The great news is, there are thousands (millions?) of web sites out there that do have lengthy lists of recipes. If you are seeking inexpensive recipes, check out 5dollardinners.com.

If you’re looking for low-calorie recipes, go to Hungry-Girl.com. That site can be a bit confusing. If  you click on “Chew the Right Thing,” you’ll find tons of low-calorie recipes.

VegWeb.com has plenty of vegan recipes, and VegCooking.com has both vegan and vegetarian meals. Recipe Zaar has more than 6,000 Kosher recipes, and a total of 359,000 recipes overall. That should keep you fed for a while.

Check out the TodayShow.com recipe for Cowoboy-Cut Ribeye.
