not sure what you mean by you "can't find anything"!. Do you know how to use the Yahoo search engine, like type in "recipes" or "simple recipes" or "recipes main meal" since there are so so many recipe websites on the net, and for any type of food you like, for instance "mexican recipes", "italian recipes", "chinese recipes", "spanish recipes" you name it, they have it!. RachaelRay has a great tv program and prepares meals, look her up too while you're at it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
