Help me remember this breakfast cereal
I loved Kix until they changed the formula. They are airier now and don't have nearly the taste of the old ones.
It's time to get organized!
Hi, another software program you might want to check into is Cook'n. It's what I use and I love it. To take a look at it, go to
www.dvo.com
I bought mine online. There is a free monthly newsletter and a weekly newsletter that costs $8-10 a month, but you get a free recipe book each month with that subscription. There are a lot of cookbooks available, including many Betty Crocker cookbooks, Taste of Home, etc. There is also a forum that I enjoy participating in where tips and recipes are exchanged.
I copy and paste a lot of internet recipes into my Cook'n. With the cookbooks I have received from DVO, internet recipes, and my own recipes, I probably have 10-15,000 recipes, so I use the search feature a lot. When my cabbage is ready from the garden, I type in cabbage and it shows me all the recipes that use that ingredient. It also has a nutrition feature and a shopping list function.
I can't compare it with MasterCook, as Cook'n is what I'm familiar with, but it gives you another option to check out. Have fun software shopping!

About Judyb80
Location: judyb80@netscape.net
About: I enjoy reading recipes, collecting cookbooks and recipes, and reading in general. I have 10 grandkids who keep my life interesting. I also enjoy doing things on the computer.
Favorite foods: comfort foods, sweet and salty foods, and most anything with marshmallows.
Last bite on earth: cornbread and Old Settler's Baked Beans (a dish containing 3 kinds of beans, hamburger and bacon in a slightly spicy baked bean format).
I love pasta cooked in the Fasta Pasta. The cooker is quick and easy to use. The quickness comes from not having to boil the water, and the ease comes from not having to worry about it boiling over. I cook pasta much more often since I bought the Fasta Pasta. My mom loves it too, and uses it to cook pasta, rice, and vegetables. She said it makes cooking for 1 person a cinch.
