Websites I Recently Discovered

Stumble Upon

Stumble Upon is a site I was introduced to by my husband who learned about it from our nephew. It's a website in which you let them know your interests (check boxes next to all kinds of categories) and then it suggests sites for you. You can then give the sites thumbs up or down so it can learn your preferences and suggest more accurate sites. They also make it easy to share your discoveries through several social networking sites. There is also an android app to can download for free and link to your computer account so it has your preferences in it already.

Life Tips

Life Tips is a site I found through stumbleupon.com. It led me to the cooking measurements and equivalents page. That in itself was pretty cool. It didn't have too many of the normal equivalents like the numbers of cups in a pint, but it did have some helpful info such as how many cups of sugar equal a pound, or how many mini marshmallows is the equivalent to one large marshmallow. When I further explored the site I discovered that this was just the top of the iceberg. Life Tips has TONS of subjects to find more information about and each of those subject also has several sub-categories, so can finds on just about anything. Also, if you are a writer they have writer's program (they call them Gurus.) However, I have not checked out the program thoroughly nor do I have any experience with it so I do not know if they are legit or follow though with their promises. From what I have discovered you will not get paid until you submit 101 tips to the category you have chosen. Once they have your 101 tips they will publish them into a print edition book. You get 10 complimentary copies of the book plus 20% of the sales of the book and another 5% of the sales will get donated to the charity of your choice.  For more info about Lifetips.com click the link.

My Fridge Food
I have seen programs and widgets for helping you figure out what you have can actually cook with what food you have on hand, but myfridgefood.com is by far the best I've discovered thus far. You start by checking boxes in their fairly detailed list of food and beverages you have in your house. If you log on, your list will be saved, but even if you don't log on you can have a list of recipes generated. Next to each recipe it will give you the percentage of ingredients you already have. If you do not have 100 percent of the ingredients needed for a recipe it will tell you are missing. I just discovered this site, but I plan on using it to help me come up with my meal plans and menus since it really seems to fit the way I shop. I keep an inventory of items I like to have in stock, what I am out of  or running run of I add to my grocery list then I also add other ingredients to specific meals to my list. There is also a grocery list tab in which you can create your grocery list, but I have not tried it yet.
