Searching For Mothers Day Ideas - Why Not Try Cookbook Software? by:Katherine Baldwin

Does your Mother enjoy cooking? Is she a good ccok or just studying how to cook

? Either way, a great gift for her would be recipe software. She can make use of it to keep her own recipes in order. Have you ever seen her going through a mountain of papers that have one recipe scribbled on each piece of paper looking for a certain recipe? She can also use the software to download recipes from the Internet that she finds interesting instead of printing each recipe out - there's another scrap of paper to keep track of.

Cookbook software has really improved in the past few years. You can manage your recipe collection, plan meals, create grocery lists, and figure the nutritional analysis for any recipe. I like The Living Cookbook recipe software for a variety reasons. This software is very easy to use and that is a very useful feature for most people. You can format your cookbook to look just like a 'real' cookbook. You can make the print, or font, any size you want. No more magnifying glass!

The Living Cookbook software has a 30 day free trial, so you could even download the software and "borrow" your Mothers recipes and make a family cookbook to give her for a Mothers Day present. You could print the cookbook and take it to a local office supply store and have them laminate the front and back cover and spiral bind it for you for an economical price. This would be a really unique Mothers Day crafts project that you could do for your Mother.

The software has a feature that lets you include a picture above each recipe. This could be a picture of the completed recipe, or you could scan her original hand written recipe and use that instead. My Mother has passed on, and, believe me, it really is wonderful to have her original hand writing above those precious family recipes. We have done another cookbook that includes recipes from my Mother, Grandmother and Aunt. It has recipes that were always served at family reunions and we used their hand written recipes in the pictures. It really is beautiful. It would be hard to find a more unique present for your Mother on Mothers Day.
