Being that I love to menu plan as it saves time and money I was geeked to get this software free to review. It very quickly downloaded to my PC from the link I was sent and I was ready to explore. I skipped the demo video that it says to watch after the download. I thought this was a mistake. I soon found that it had preinstalled videos for every topic I needed so that I could learn how to use it. After watching one short video on Menu planning I realized it was so easy I would not need more videos. ( I like them there just in case)

Drag your item into the day you want to have it in and drop it. It's so easy. |
My software came with one cook book and you can add recipes to make your own. You can clip them from the internet or type them in manually. It also allows you to add pictures. Later, if you like to buy more cookbooks from them they have a large selection. I may buy some more for mine as I like it that much and I think it would be worth it.
My first venture was of course the Menu planner. I quickly found that the one cookbook it came with did not have all the recipes I would want for my menu. It was very easy to learn how to add my own. Once you have the recipes you want added to your list you can very easily drag them and drop them into the day you want to have the meal on. It has options for monthly weekly daily and so on…

I then pressed save. I now have that recipe forever. At that moment I Fell in love with the Cook'n software. |

Wow for the really 'geeky' that would be awesome. I like to menu plan too but that would be too much detail for me. Love that you visit my blog. And I love all of these give aways. I never win from any of the places I sign up but my time will come :)
