I know we have a great resource here on 3 fat chicks (both the WW forum and the recipe forum on the main page). I just bought myself a WW cookbook (simply delicious flexpoints cookbook).
I am just wondering what your favorite cookbook is or resource to get recipes?
(I have tried signing up for WW e tools but for some reason it doesn't like my email addresses ... I've tried 2 )
There is a W/W recipe section right here. Dotti and Health Discovery both also have a great recipe forum.
I just gather recipes from all over. Magazines, cookbooks. Most any recipe you can modify with ingredients to make it W/W friendly.
BTW drop a line to W/W tech support about your e-mail issues. What exactly is it saying? Do you have a 'free' account for the boards there? If so you can log in and upgrade to e-tools with that log in.

I subscribe to Gourmet magazine, and I like the epicurious website and foodtv has a good website for recipes (I LOVE RACHEL RAY!) . There is also the recipe czar website. I calculate the points as I make a dish, and sometimes I just guess/approximate. I also substitute out high fat/cal ingredients for lower ones as possible. I make fancier [fattier] dishes on occasion, but I am not as tempted to eat a lot anymore.
I subscribe to several magazines as well as WW's magazine. My favorite cookbook is WW New Complete Cookbook. I get recipes from all over the place though.
As for the WW site and e-tools you have to be a meetings member in order to do the e-tools from my understanding. You can join the regular online membership and have access to all of the tools though.
I have some of the WW cookbooks. My favorites are Slow Good, Take Out Tonight, Take 5 and Around the World. I also buy the WW magazine and subsribe to the WW site's newsletter.
Other good recipe sources for me are:
Cooking Light Magazine
Vegetarian Times Magazine
Organic Style Magazine
Eat to Fight Diabetes Magazine (published by Prevention Magazine 2 or 3 times/year)
The South Beach Diet cook books
Suzanne Sommers cookbooks
I love love love the WW In One Pot cookbook! Dh loves it, guests have loved it, kids love it- great receipes, less dishes
I usually make about 3 recipes a week from this cookbook. I even wrote a review of the recipes I had tried in there and our families comments- lmk if anyone would like a copy of that. I did it last year and have since tried more recipes but as it is 30 or so recipes, maybe 50, are reviewed
