Pepperplate

Pepperplate.  It is awesome.  You are going to want it.

Pepperplate.  Plan - Cook - Share.
Finally some help in the kitchen.

A sweet ipad loving co-worker introduced me to this awesome cloud based software/App, which has GREATLY simplified my grocery list, shopping, and cooking routine.  It probably even saves me a little money because I just buy what I need.  Great idea, right?  

 Here is the quick skinny.  But definitely check it out for yourself.

1.  Create a free account online.
2.  Import recipes you love - manually or with just the click of a button.  (Pinterest like.)
3.  Plan your recipes for a specific night.
4.  Then it auto creates and organizes your grocery list for whatever time period you request.
5.  I then cook from the recipe on the ipad.

I still have some major work to do in the "import recipe" zone, but once I have all my old faithfuls in the system, I will just be able to click a button for the 5 recipes I need for that week and get a grocery list.  It is that easy.  You can also add additional, non-recipe groceries, like toothpaste to the list.

Theoretically, Brad could access this on his phone on his way home from work and get everything we need without asking for a grocery list.  Wink, wink.

Try it.  If you try to cook and pretend to be organized like me, you will like it.
