Saving Recipes
« on: May 26, 2018, 08:20:19 AM »

Still learning to navigate the site so if it is obvious and I missed it please excuse me. I've seen some pretty darn good looking recipes on this site and would like to save them somewhere for quick reference. Is there a way to do that by pinning the thread or ????

Once you are on the thread you want, you could bookmark it so that you can go right to it.

 Something else for us all to think about is the" subject"... Using the proper word(s) in generating a new thread.  This makes it much easier for a new person, or for that mater, some of us older members, to find things..Keeping on topic also helps..

A great way to save recipes is to use OneNote, now free, from Microsoft, to keep track of just about everything. If you use Firefox, there is a OneNote plugin that allows you to directly capture recipes into your OneNote recipe notebook, or you can simply copy/past the recipe into a new OneNote recipe page. It takes a little work figuring it out, but I now use it for everything from shopping lists, to preparing for our RV adventures.

When I 1st got into computers it was with a Commodore 64 (that should tell ya something). Then it was off to college for a mechanical engineering degree. I was well past the rest of the class when it came to programming, and shoulda switched majors.

Now it's 'copy and paste' to a word document and add to a recipe folder.  ::)

PZ turned me onto One Note very early in the history of this site.  Love it!

I print a lot of the weekly recipes from the Traeger emails to OneNote and put them in my file.  I have different sections by type of meat and then different sub sections by the cut of meat and then one page per recipe.

And, you can share the file with others for them to be able to read only or to be able to edit.

I became a OneNote hoarder when some of my saved links disappeared from the web.  It's a great way to organizes & save all sorts of things.   :clap:

Thanks for the tip. i just checked it out and since I use MAC was pleased to see they have a version for that platform. Next step is to watch some tutorials. Thanks again.

I guess I can look into it but it sounds like it is a PC based program and I use MAC. I shall see and if it works with MAC that would be awesome from what the responses here are saying.

I would think it would work on a Mac.  I use it online on my Chromebook, on my desktop, on my work laptop, on my phone.  The beauty of that is that with one login I have access to it on any device where I can login to the internet.  You can also set it up to sync each device with the internet to use it when not connected to the internet too.
