Recipes on the iphone

I got my first iphone in July 2009. It was great. I just got a new one a few months ago. I decided to print off pictures from 2009 and 2010. When this year is over I will print 2011 pictures.

You are probably wondering where I am going with this. Iphones (or any smart phone) are great for taking pictures. Of anything. Really.

That first summer I got my phone I was looking through someone’s cookbooks and decided to start snapping pictures of the recipes instead of copying them down.

I’ve been doing it ever since. I’m not 100% iphone “recipefied” YET, but I will be.

I even have a recipe album on my mac that I plan to sync with my phone.

I plan to take pictures of all recipes I’ve already printed that are taking up drawer space and pages I previously tore out of magazines.

So, the next time you are at a friend’s house and you are desperate for that recipe and she hands you the recipe with a pen and paper, just snap a picture instead!!

If you are at the Doctor’s office and flipping through a magazine and find a recipe that you know your family will love, don’t rip it out. Please. Don’t. Snap a picture with your phone!

My latest recipe snapshot was at Chili’s. We ordered a new margarita (it was probably the BEST EVER, FYI) and guess what? The recipe was on the shaker! Wanna see!? (I’m not sure why it was a snapshot of the picture?? that’s strange)
