Do you ever wish you could throw away all those recipe cards and have all of your recipes in one easy location? How about being able to read your recipes that aren't covered in stains or falling apart from years of use. Imagine all of your treasured family recipes all in one easy location.

key ingredient recipe readerI was recently contacted by Key Ingredient and asked to check out their new Key Ingredient Recipe Reader. Similar in size to a tablet, it is made to be IN the kitchen, to sit on your counter and be used by a busy cook! No worry about if you just got sauce on your $500 tablet! Nope this reader has a easily wiped off cover (with a damp cloth) and is sturdy enough not to be easily knocked over. It has  large screen, easy to use interface (you almost don't need any instructions with it), large keyboard that pops up when needed and large font sizes. Plus you can adjust many of the settings to make it just right for YOU!

But the real fun with the reader?  You can input all those recipes sitting on index cards on that bookshelf! Now when you want to find Great Grandma's Pumpkin Pie recipe, you can just hunt by pumpkin, and voila!, there it is!  Only liked one recipe from that expensive cookbook you got for last Christmas? Easy peasy- put that recipe on the Recipe Reader and give away the cookbook- now someone else can enjoy it, and your bookshelf has some space! You can see how well you could get rid of all those excess cookbooks, can't you?

The screen is well laid out, and all the different controllers are on the bottom, while your library screen is right there! And as you can see the recipes are sorted based on your descriptions!

It is super easy to add a recipe to your collection on the program, with their formatted form (see below pix) add it to which library you want and ta-da your recipes are digital!

But there is more- it has not 1, but 3 timers on it! How handy is that especially with holiday cooking? And as you can see below, they are super easy to set! AND, yes there is more, it has a substitution list! Now you won't have to go hunting the internet to find what you can substitute an ingredient for, when you're in the middle of cooking the recipe! Just scroll down, find the ingredient you need to substitute, click on it and get a picture and possible substitutions.

Oh but there is more!

Happy Memory

HAPPY MEMORY




I was having a talk with my youngest son who is sixteen years old. He is a quiet young man. On rare moments, he will open up and have deep conversations. He asked me if I remembered a vacation that we took two years ago. I told him, "Sure". 
My Hubby had a training class and was out of town. I decided to take a small vacation with my children. We went to a Louisiana State Park and rented one of the beautiful cabins. It was only a three day vacation, but it meant the world to my kids. The reason it was so special is that two of my children are adults now. My oldest son is twenty-seven. My daughter is twenty-one. We rarely get a chance to spend time together. My oldest two children work full time as I do, and my youngest is in school. 
We spent time walking and playing on the beach, playing cards and talking. 




My youngest was laughing and asked me if I remembered what his older brother did to him. I wasn't sure what he was talking about. He said that his brother ran in the room and told him he had to come outside because there were girls in bikini's on the beach. Being a typical teenage boy he ran outside only to find a few middle age and out of shape women in bathing suits. His brother laughed and they chased each other around. As he was telling this story to me, he would stop and laugh.

You see, this was his memory. The fun and the laughter is what he remembers. After our talk I starting thinking of how I hope he has plenty of those type of memories. I hope for all my children as they get older that they can have those laughs even years later. 
I realized how much I wish they were little again. Time went by too fast. It seems like I blinked and they grew up.
