Recipes
The What's Cooking? USDA Mixing Bowl is an interactive tool to help with healthy meal planning, cooking, and grocery shopping. The site features a searchable database of healthy recipes, options to build a cookbook, print recipe cards, and share recipes via social media. All of the recipes previously on ChooseMyPlate.gov have been moved to this website and join hundreds more from other USDA programs including Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Child Nutrition Programs (CNP), and Food Distribution Division (FDD). Check out our What's Cooking? tip sheet.
Cookbooks
With plenty of cookbooks to choose from, new healthy recipes for you and your family are as easy as click and view (or, click and print). Note: If you are on a mobile device, you may need to turn your phone to see the full table.
