The Best Cookbook Ever?

I'm so excited! We have a program called MasterCook Deluxe and it is probably the BEST cookbook software I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot)!

First off, it has 15 cookbooks that have a combined total of over 4,000 recipes! So, yes you;re sure to find just the right idea for a meal :-)

Of course, with 4,000 recipes, you'll need a good way to find what you're looking for. Well, the search engine in this thing is fantastic. You can even search based on what you want - or don't want in a recipe. Great for those who are on a strict diet or who are sensitive to certain foods.

My favorite part? The nutritional calculator. I've been trying to lose some weight and this program makes it easy. Just click the Nutritional Analysis button and you'll get a screen full of info. For example, I was looking at the Candy Cane Coffee Cakes (some dieter huh?) and found that a serving has 260 calories, 28% of which are from fat, 65% from carbohydrates, and 7% from protein. In addition, it also gives you the percentage of daily values per serving. From what I can tell, it would take a LOT of coffee cake to get my daily requirement of vitamins.

It also lets you put your favorite recipes into a "favorites" section, has an awesome glossary of cooking terms, includes fantastic "how to" type videos, has an incredible meal planner, can print out shopping lists, and can even scale recipes so you make exactly the amount you need. Heck, you can even add YOUR recipes to it!

Whew, that's the highlight show, but it barely scratches the surface of what this program can do. The price? It's only $14.97 and US Shipping is FREE! (retail is $29.95) Again, this is easily the best CD ROM cookbook I've ever seen and I can't recommend it highly enough! Here's the link - go there now!

PS - Please! Don't miss out! This cookbook really is fantastic and is a must have. Oh, and remember - we have our 30 day satisfaction guarantee - if you don't think it's a great as I say it is just send it back for a fast, courteous refund! You have nothing to lose!

MS Office 101

Did you know…

…that you can turn off a bulleted or numbered list with just one key?

No?

Well, you can.

Want to know how?

Yes?

Good—because I was going to cover that anyway.

The next time you get to the end of your list hit the Enter key.

You should get another bullet or number.

The exact thing you're trying to avoid—I know, I know. Hold on, we're almost there!

Now hit the Backspace key.

Poof!

The bullet or number is gone and you're returned to the left margin to pick up the work right where you left off.

No messing with the mouse required!

Office Tip of the Day

Give Me A Break!

Have you ever had a bulleted or numbered list in either MS Word or PowerPoint that really needed a blank line, for a visual break, partway through?

Maybe your list contains subsets and would just make more sense if there was a break in the flow.

Maybe something like this?

  • Item 1
  • Item 2
  • Item 3
  • Item 4
  • Item 5

Or maybe this?

1. Item A
2. Item B

3. Item C
4. Item D
5. Item E

What did you do to create the break?

Did you turn the bullets or numbering off - make the blank line, then go back and turn them on again?

And if it's a numbered list, did you go through the headache of getting the numbers to be continuous?

I know—one great big pain!

I couldn't agree more.

Guess what!

What? (Thanks for playing along there…)

There's a faster way.

Yep—you read it right—a faster way.

All you need is an extra key: the Shift key to be exact.

Here's the scoop. (No, not vanilla and strawberry—don't we all wish.)

  • Next time you're working on a list and you want a blank line try Shift + Enter.
  • This should put you on the next line - without the number or bullet.
  • Now hit the Enter key again.
  • You should now be another line down with the bullets back on—or in case of the numbers, they continue counting exactly where they left off.

It's that easy!

Way faster than all the hoops we jump through to turn this stuff on / off / on / off again.

Give it a try—it's as easy as pie! (With or without the scoop.)
