Been liking my Allrecipes supporting membership.
It is on special right now, so it works out to be around $20 for the year. The feature I like best is the menu planner. I can use any recipe on the Allrecipes site plus any of the personal favorites I have added and the organize them into a menu plan. Once I have done that, I can automatically generate a shopping list from the menu. I can print the list or automatically send it to my smart phone using the Allrecipes app. It is easy to add additional items to the list as well. I have used a number of shopper/meal planner apps and this is by far the best. I find that if I stay organized and get my menu and shopping done, the cooking part is really easy! Just thought I would share.....

1. I like Allrecipes.
I get some of their e-mail newsletters and am a supporting member. It's a great resource for finding new things to try and I like being able to customize recipes for smaller quantities.

2. I use Allrecipes a lot and am also a supporting member. Several of the recipes
I've found on there have come to be family favorites. I really like the kitchen friendly view of the recipes. Once I have it on the screen, I can put my laptop on the counter and not have to scroll up and down to show the whole recipe while I'm preparing it. I really appreciate the reviews, also.

3. Could you please expand on that?

4. Pull up a recipe on allrecipes.com.
Look to the right for the "Kitchen Approved" box. At the very bottom, there is a link to "Kitchen Friendly View". If you click that, you get the recipe in nice format for cooking. The only problem, when I change the servings in the regular view, it will not change in the kitchen friendly view.
