Where do you keep your recipes??

I have remake them here regardless.

I would like a site that stores recipes that gives me nutritional information and lets me scale up or down and, ideally, converts from metric to Imperial measurements.

Any ideas??

    No ideas, except that I'd like that too!

    I have an iPad App that does that. It's called "My Recipe Book." Scales the recipes up and down, and has both kinds of measurements. Even lets you automatically import from some websites, a grocery list, and some other features I can't remember right now. Love it.

    It would be nice to have such a site. Especially one that was a little more user-friendly than MFPs, then I could just enter the total into MFP as a food.

    As a total aside, for baking purposes, I once wrote a program for my favorite statistical software package that converted from volume to weight measurements, and then rescaled based on the size of the pan I wanted to use. I bake a lot less now, so it's not terribly useful anymore, but for a while...

    I'm impressed!

    It was easier than constantly doing the conversions by hand. Especially since back then, I was baking for several men who were deployed.

    I'm trying out Allrecipes.com It has great features for "kitchen approved" recipes that have been reviewed. Not so great for personal recipes. I mean I can store them there but the tools only work on recipes they have reviewed. Blah.

    Food.com allows you to enter and store your own recipes and gives the nutritional information along with being able to adjust the number of servings. I use it a lot. It is a little confusing at first learning how to enter the recipe but once you get the hang of it there is no problem. You can make your recipes public for everyone to see and review or keep them private.

    food.com

    I have been a contributor of recipes there when it was called Recipezaar.com. I've posted some of my recipes in the recipe forum. And I always post the nutrition info with them. I've reviewed a ton of recipes there too and post some of the healthiest of those here too. In my blog, I post a link to all my recipes, as well as in my profile. It makes them easy for me and my friends to find.

    I create alot on my recipes here with MFP... And save for future reference. I log every meal on my calendar on my iPad. I enter the magazine, issue and pg number. Before I dig out old recipes I look thru my calendar and if I want to make a repeat, I google it andusually allrecipes.com has it. Easy as can be!

    If I REALLY like it I take a snapshot of the recipe and store it in an album on my iPad too...

    So fast to collect items - take a picture, forward an e-mail, clip a webpage. Easy to tag and search for items.

    When I do my weekly menu planning, I move the recipes I am going to use into my weekly menu notebook so they are easily accessible when I am ready to make them, and they don't get moved back into my main recipe database until they have been tagged with a number of stars indicating how much we liked it (so I can easily generate a list of our four star or five star recipes when I am stuck). I have recipes tagged "try soon" for when I am trying to decide what to make.

    Great ideas! I'm an organizational freak but strangely hadn't organized my Evernote folders all that well.

    Pinterest. It is such a great place to store all my recipes. I have a board that has all of the pictures and I can just click on the one I like and it takes me directly there. I only have to go to one site instead of 10. I highly recommend! I cook every night for 8 people and I find this highly efficient.
