If I had to show you my recipe binder, I would be very embarrassed.  Often times if I am at a social event where great food is being served, I hunt down whoever made something I loved and ask them for the recipe.  My binder is full of recipes scribbled on napkins and small pieces of paper that unfortunately have never made it to being transferred to the binder’s pages.  They’re all just shoved into my binder and I have to dig through them to find what I’m looking for.

Anyone else have this problem?

I also love to scour the Internet for great new recipes to try out for our family meals.  My computer’s bookmarks are a huge mess with all of the recipes I have saved and I still, again, have to scroll and scroll to get to what I am looking for.

Fortunately, there is hope for people like me.  And you, if this is also a little problem you might have.  RecipeNut.com, sponsored by Hormel foods, is a great new website which allows you to collect and manage your recipes, even if you find them on another site!   RecipeNut is also a social website for people who love to cook!  It enables users to identify and follow other users with similar dish, cuisine and ingredient preferences, rate and review recipes and share their favorites via Facebook, Twitter and e-mail. 

In conjunction with the site launch, RecipeNut is asking Facebook fans to share their favorite recipes and the stories behind them for a chance at nearly $2,000 in prizes.

 The contest kicks off at http://www.facebook.com/RecipeNut on September 27th and entries will be accepted through October 18th. Simply fan or “like” the page, submit a name and description of your favorite family recipe and the story behind it as well as an image of the note card or page that it’s printed on.  Ten finalists will be selected and fans can vote for or “like” the entry they think best exemplifies a truly treasured recipe. The winners will be announced on the RecipeNut Facebook page on October 25th.

I recently received a great gift package from Hormel that included a RecipeNut oven mitt, coupons, and Hormel products, which we love!  The Pepperoni Minis are so great with cheese and crackers.   They’ve also generously provided a prize package for one of my lucky readers!

    I would use it to both collect and organize my recipes. I have things bookmarked, recipes in folders, saved items on individual food websites, etc. It would be great to have them all in one place and organized by category. Thanks.

    I would use RecipeNut to coordinate my recipes with my two sisters and put together a famiy recipe file for our kids. I have tried for years to find and put together my Gramma’s and Mom’s recipes to save!!!

  30. Kim H. says

    I think I’d collect new recipes that were low calorie and low sodium. The problem with some “Healthy” sites is that they lose track of what I am looking for. Okay, I know, how would they know. I do like this site and it is added to my faves.

  38. Joanne Schultz says

    I love to collect recipes, so that is what I’d use the Recipe Nut site for.
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  55. Paula Hafner says

    I would use it to gather up new recipes and to save some old ones. I absolutely love to try new recipes. Cooking could get boring, otherwise.

  58. Lucy Schwartz says

    Organize my recipes? Actually maybe being able to find that scone recipe I ripped out of a magazine in the dentist’s waiting room? I was always going to do it now maybe I could really do something about it. Novel.

  72. Rosie says

    I love collecting and trying out new recipes from the web. It saves on buying cookbooks and you can read reviews on each dish from other community members. It’s great!

  74. Debbie C says

    I would use Recipe Nut to find and collect new recipes for summer barbecues and winter casseroles.

  80. Lynda E. says

    I would definitely use the main ingredient feature to come up with a recipe for whatever I happen to have on hand.

  82. Debbie C says

    I like to find new Slow Cooker recipes, Christmas Cookie recipes and different ice cream recipes so that’s what I would look for on Recipe Nut.

  83. Courtney says

    I love finding new recipes and sending them to my family and friends so most def. that would be the best thing to me.

  91. Marcia Goss says

  95. anna t. says

    I would be collecting new recipes. And trying out some of their ethnic ones – quite a selection.

  97. Jenn S. says

    I would use it to find new recipes and meal ideas and swap some of my own recipes. I love that you can follow others. Neat site!

  112. Theresa says

    I would use Recipe Nut in place of all the unorganized recipes that are bookmarked on my computer, it sounds really convenient.

  113. Holly G. says

    This is timely because I dusted my kitchen bookcase last night. There are little pieces of paper and ripped-out magazine pages with recipes everywhere! I would use recipenut to organize my recipes, add new ones, and look at recipes posted by other people.

  115. shelly says

    I would use recipee nut to get some great recipees to try. I’m always looking to try new things.

  122. Kimberly says

    I would most like to organize my recipes as it seems I’m always losing recipes after trying it once. I’d also like to follow others who make similar dishes. 🙂
