Cook'n Recipe Organizer Review

I Love to cook so when I was asked reveiw this program "Cook'n Recipe Organizer" I was super excited. I find new recipes online and of course print them. So I have all those papers shoved in other cookbooks. So I get started:
STEP 1: Download program. Now this did take about 18 minutes and I have RR Turbo.
STEP 2: Watched getting started Video. This will save you time later, if you watch it first.
STEP 3: Download a Cookbook. I picked one thatI thought I could have Fun with and recipes that I could get my picky family to eat.
STEP 4: Play around with Cook'n Recipe Organizer.

Cook'n is five products in one.

You can search the internet, have your own cookbook,Get Nutritional information, make a Grocery list, Pur your own recipes in, and do a weekly and monthly meal plan.
    I have to admit the Cookbook Feature was most exciting to me. I have a Huge family and they all are great cooks. So each year at Family Reunions there is so much great food and everyone wants recipes. Now instead of 200 different recipe cards or papers(If you can grapple the Recipe out of them) You can come home and make your own family Cookbook. Start your own Title of Cookbook I named mine Family Reunion Recipes. Now when someone says "Hey by any chance do you have Grandma Bettys Noodle Recipe" I can say yes would you like it printed and by what size. You can print Full sheets with pictures, 3X5 and 4X6.
    Now when searching online which is straight from the internet not going to 10 different recipe sites, It pulls from them all. I typed in Chicken PotPie. I happen to like a top and bottom crust. So I scrolled thru them until I found the one I wanted. Clicked capture and it moved it right to a file on the program, Now it will ask were you want to put it you can organize by ALL catagories. You can also adjust the recipes to feed your family. Usually I have to double mine just becasue I have 3 kids 2 of which are teenage boys. Then I go to Nutritional information. If the fat content is to high I see what I can adjust to lower it. I can substitute sugar with sweetner. Adjust the recipe to your family. and save them both. Then when you have that recipe that everyone wants you can say do you want the fat free sugar free version or the orginal.
   Now on to planning a menu.

I just dropped the recipes I wanted for dinner that week (You can do Breakfast and Lunch too) and any desserts. And If you have a special occasion that week you can throught that in along with any special drinks etc that you may want to have. Then I can print and hang on Fridge and I dont here 15 times WHATS FOR DINNER? They can just look on Fridge. Now along with this I can pull a grocery list from this too. Which is what I did. I marked off the things that I already had (Love a Stockpile). Then I went throught my coupons to see How much more I could save of Course.

All in all I have found that I really like this Program easy to use and navigate. Cook'n Also has a program you can join for $9.99 a month. Which allows you to get one eCookbook a month of your choice, a Newsletter, Tech support, post questions(When you cant find a certain Recipe) or just need help. And a whole lot more.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.comhttp://www.tomoson.com/?code=BOTTOMa60736f18cc3b35717ec9b284a75d1fe">Tomoson.com>. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

EXTREME COUPONING/What are your Thoughts?

Retailer Alert

The CIC advises retailers that they should exercise caution when

considering participation with the show “Extreme Couponing”,

including allowing filming at retail sites.

“Extreme Couponing” is a

“reality” show produced by Sharp Entertainment and is broadcast on TLC, a

part of Discovery Communications, Inc.

Some of the “guests” on the show, including at least one minor, have

used counterfeit coupons and engaged in other practices in violation of

State or Federal laws, manufacturers’ coupon redemption policies, and/or

retailers’ coupon acceptance policies. Retailers may not be reimbursed for

counterfeit coupons received from the show’s participants.

According to Lowes Foods, an employee of Sharp Entertainment

posed as a customer on a show filmed at one of its stores. Lowes Foods,

which has banned further cooperation with the show, issued a public

apology for cooperating with the show.

Some consumers have reportedly filed complaints against the show

with the Federal Communications Commission.

Additional information about the show can be found at the following

links:

http://www.jillcataldo.com/extremecouponingcounterfeitcoupons

http://www.jillcataldo.com/supermarket_apologizes_for_extremecouponing

The CIC has previously contacted The Discovery Channel to express

these and related concerns. As of this date, The Discovery Channel, to our

knowledge, has not taken any action to remedy the situation.

In summary, “Extreme Couponing” exposes its retail participants to

potential legal issues and counterfeit coupons, which may not be

reimbursed, as well as potential adverse publicity.

Questions concerning this alert may be directed to Bud Miller, CPP,

Executive Director of the CIC, at 703-684-5307.

Mom of 3 whos Babies are Growing Up

I am a mom of 3. This year I child at each level of schools. One in High School, One in Middle School, One in Elementary. Today my one in Middle School GRADUATES from 8th grade and Thursday my Elemantary Schooler GRADUATES. I am Very proud of all my children, they are on honor roll, well rounded great kids.

I on the other hand feel sad, they are growing up so fast

that I miss them already. I know we are suppose to raise our children to be independent and self sufficiant because they will not want to live with us forever. Which my children could if they had to. Except laundry I think that will alve brought home to me.
I want to hit the rewind button and keep them little forever but I know that it's not possible. I want them to grow and accomplish the amazing things that I know they can. So for all the Moms and Dads that are letting there babies go this time of year, Realize that you have done your best to raise them up in the way they should go,and when they grow old they will not depart from it. Be proud of your self that you helped them get this far. And relish in the fact that they will always have laundry.

Famous Footwear Coupon and Deal Scenario

First off let me say I LOVE FAMOUS FOOTWEAR!!!

With 3 Kids we go through alot of shoes. I am also part of ther rewards program. So about 4 times a year they send me a Certificate for so much off my next order. I needed new shoes and in the mail came my Certificate. Yeah.
I go to FF and automatically I go to clearance. I found a pair of Sketchers on clearance for $20 regular $110. Now that was an awesome deal but, I have that wonderful Certificate for $15 off my purchase. so I paid OOP 5.34 that was with tax. I was so excited. Now with this coupon that is available I would have only had to pay $1.34 but I am happy with my purchase.

So print this coupon and go search the clearance at your store. With 20% off you can still find great deals. $16 dollar for a $100 pair of shoes is awesome.
