Help me remember this breakfast cereal

I loved Kix until they changed the formula. They are airier now and don't have nearly the taste of the old ones.

It's time to get organized!

Hi, another software program you might want to check into is Cook'n. It's what I use and I love it. To take a look at it, go to
www.dvo.com

I bought mine online. There is a free monthly newsletter and a weekly newsletter that costs $8-10 a month, but you get a free recipe book each month with that subscription. There are a lot of cookbooks available, including many Betty Crocker cookbooks, Taste of Home, etc. There is also a forum that I enjoy participating in where tips and recipes are exchanged.

I copy and paste a lot of internet recipes into my Cook'n. With the cookbooks I have received from DVO, internet recipes, and my own recipes, I probably have 10-15,000 recipes, so I use the search feature a lot. When my cabbage is ready from the garden, I type in cabbage and it shows me all the recipes that use that ingredient. It also has a nutrition feature and a shopping list function.

I can't compare it with MasterCook, as Cook'n is what I'm familiar with, but it gives you another option to check out. Have fun software shopping!
