Recipe Organizer - a Review and Giveaway

Kristen was our lucky winner!  Congratulations!!!
Every time the Universe answers one of my requests, I'm always amazed.  I've been searching for the perfect recipe organizer and Cook'n Recipe Organizer v.11 comes as close as possible.


"Cook'n is the #1 Best-Selling Recipe Organizer and is the ultimate kitchen companion."

Cook'n Recipe Organizer v.11
Cook'n Recipe Organizer v.11

How many times have you found yourself or someone in your family asking "What's for dinner?" or looking in the refrigerator or pantry and saying "There's nothing to eat"?  You find yourself getting stressed or upset, throwing in the towel, and going out to eat.  This is a vicious cycle.

We used to find ourselves eating out quite a bit and not really even enjoying the luxury.  Then I got a little older and wasn't as willing to put up with the side effects from my food intolerences/allergies and decided to start making more of our meals and snacks at home.

It often takes an illness or allergy to get us to buckle down and get serious.  DH and I now use a shopping list, create a menu (it's usually more of an idea list based on what's on hand), and have learned to be a little smarter about the foods we buy.  We aren't perfect, we still buy soft drinks, cake mixes (gluten-free), and chocolate.

Here are some things that are a must-have in our home:
  • Gluten-free pastas
  • Beans - black, kidney, garbanzo, etc.
  • Quinoa
  • Oil
  • Gluten-free flours
  • Frozen fruits and vegetables
  • Gluten-free cake mix
  • Non-dairy milk
  • Coconut Oil
From the items listed above, I can whip up a delicious meal and dessert on any occasion.   In fact, DH and I were able to go a month (we were both so sick) without visiting the grocery store.  Toward the end, we were getting pretty creative but with our basic necessities, we were able to sustain.

We are so much more organized now and it's fun to figure out our weekly menus with Cook'n.  Our goal is to work up to a monthly menu, this will not only streamline our grocery list but also help save us money and time with fewer trips to the store.
