Snacks and Appetizers - download recipes
By Lise. These are appetizer and snack recipes gathered from
friends, family, internet, and from magazines,
cookbooks, etc. over the years. Some I've made, some
are still "on my list."
I like the clean ease of AZZCardfile for recipes.
AZZCardfile was so easy to learn, and makes it a
breeze to collect and browse recipes. It offers more
options to customize than I am likely to ever use. On
a most-used basis, though, for example, I can put all
recipes in one cardfile, or create cardfiles for
separate categories. Or both. I may have a big file
of only Appetizer recipes, but have a separate
cardfile for Favorite Recipes which includes all kinds
of recipes. Or a cardfile just for recipes DH (dear
husband) likes. I can store recipes in a simple
plain text format or dress them up with bolding, color
fonts, color backgrounds. Can grab HTML from web, or
add pictures, and even include links to internet on my
recipes.

Simple text, as used in this appetizer cardfile, is my
preference for most recipes, although I change
background and font colors as the mood strikes. Some
days, only pink will do! When I want more than simple
text and color changes, AZZCardfile is ready to
deliver. For example, in some recipes, a photo or
diagram is truly invaluable -- to show me how to
construct that fancy cake, how to fold or cut the
dough, how to plate a special dish. Or even a series
of step-by-step how-to photos.
I have an excellent recipe management program, but it
forces me to rewrite recipes to fit a specific format,
to put one part of the recipe here and another part
there. AZZCardfile frees me such constraints -- it
fires up quickly, lets me drop in a whole recipe
however I want, on the fly, and then I can get on with
other things. My kind of software! That's not all --
it will export my files should I want to to share
them. As Ole Blue Eyes used to croon, AZZCardfile
lets me do it "My Way."
If I sound like a info-mercial here, it's because this
is nice, easy to use software which can be applied in
so many ways -- and I do use it for more than recipes.
I use it to make notes to myself, to-do lists, to
gather info on subjects that interest me (would you
believe a cardfile on private jets? as if I'll ever
see the inside a private jet), song lyrics, food
glossaries, a catalog of cookbooks I either want to
buy or try to find at library, complete with
descriptions and reviews to remind me "why" I want
them, links, and so much more. Ah, it's good stuff,
this program, very good stuff.
