How to make recipes found on the internet easy to use!

The first thing to do is find a recipe....

If there is a "print"option, click on that.

Copy the text...
And paste into Notepad. If you like pictures with you recipes, use MS works word processor or something like that.  I like notepad because it is simple, more on that later...




Choose "save as" and make a new folder for all your recipes.  

Hint:  If you right click and choose paste the title will appear in the file name box!


Save and you are done!.

Now, if you want to find the recipe, all you have to do is use your search function (I still have windows XP so I don't know about newer versions)

You can search by filename or a word or a phrase in the file.  This means you can search for ingredients or the recipe title in case you forget it!
