You can also search by preparation method (i.e. crockpot, breadmaker), how much time it takes to make, fat or calories, etc. It's a great site to play around on and really motivates me to try new things.

I love recipezaar.. I am doing the exact same thing... I have been making one new bread recipe a week, tossing the ones We didnt like. Also since its actually started getting chilly here, the crockpot came out and I am trying one new recipe a week with that too. I actually made freezer pickles for the first time in my life, from a recipe I found on there, and they were so good, they almost didnt make it to the freezer. I have found that trying the new recipes really motivates me also and I actually like cooking from scratch. Bad part is all the taste testing while I am cooking!
