I had a question this week about recipe organizing software.

I waited for Black Friday last year and got an 8" Amazon Fire tablet for $60 (vs. $300 for an iPad). I have a cable modem with its own WiFi hot spot built in. That allows me to have internet access on the Fire tablet. I have an email address allowing me to send recipes to the Fire tablet via email attachments on my computer. That gets the recipes I want into the Fire tablet. I used a magnetic refrigerator mount to mount my Fire tablet vertically on my fridge door. So, turning on my tablet, I can do a search for the name of the recipe I want. I also alphabetized the recipes to make them easier to search. It would be simple to create folders for each type of food you want to group, and just go into those. It's wonderful to be able to read my recipes as I cook, scrolling with the touch of a finger.

I’ve got one of those Fire Tablets - I love it for reading books. I just need bigger print, something I can see more easily, in the kitchen.

For untried recipes in the computer, I have everything in word docs, too. Then, when they turn out well and are ‘keepers’, I print them, put them in page protectors, and they go in the binder.
