Turkey Day Around the Corner

Cleaning, slicing, dicing, stuffing, baking, washing, mixing, cooking.. all for one large, expansive meal of Thanksgiving!

But not everyone has family recipes to fall back on during the holiday season, so where do you turn? Lost Aunt Sadie's sweet potato pie recipe? Browsing through hundreds of cookbooks for just the right recipe may take hours or days without results.

Turn to the ultimate resource for recipes.. the web. There are thousands of websites dedicated to recipes, but my preference is a website that has feedback from other users, the option to print without ads and a decent search to locate the perfect recipe.

My all time favorite is Allrecipes.com/ because it has all of the features I prefer with a great many people willing to login and rate the recipes. Put in the ingredient in the search engine, sort by title, rating or popularity and you have a fantastic recipe database at your finger tips.

Didn't find Aunt Sadie's recipe? Well Google makes searching for recipes easy.

On the left hand side, there is a link to select only recipes. The search can be narrowed down even more by cooking time, and even calories.

Taste of Home is one my favorite magazines and you can often find deals online to subscribe.. but they also have recipes online. Like Allrecipes.com, they have a great search and you can easily narrow it down to the type of recipe, such as cooking for two or healthy or just plain comfort food.

I would love to hear some of your favorites. Comment below and share with other readers. Followers are growing daily and I feel so blessed. Wishing each and every one of you a safe and love-filled Thanksgiving!

Typing Exercises

You took typing but need to increase your typing speed? Job interview or just because? Typing has become critical in this computer based world, not only from the workplace but also resumes and communication now rely on the keyboard instead of pen and paper. I took typing in high school before corrective ribbons were on the electronic typewriters. I was lucky to get to 15 WPM, and that was on a very good day. My typing teacher was awesome. It really wasn't her fault that I just was not that coordinated and often made mistakes reducing my numbers to single digits. Fast forward to today, I teach Microsoft Office and often encourage my students to start or refresh their typing skills by increasing their speed. The website I use for "learning to type" is typingclub.com where you can easily learn the basics to more advanced techniques. Yes there are advertisements although you can pay for an ad-free premium. I don't benefit from this suggestion, but found the 684 lessons

"Hello, This is Bridget (Or Rachel) from Card Holder Services"

When it comes to running a business, the last thing you need is to be inundated with junk phone calls and the number one pest is "Card Holder Services". Matter of fact, the FTC considers "Bridget from Card Holder Services" to be Enemy #1 . Well, the FTC may not have solved this ongoing problem but I have found help from the customer reviews at Amazon.com. I searched online, then narrowed it down to a couple of options. I was very excited when I found the CPR Call Blocker capable of blocking 1200 (yes, 1200) numbers. Robocallers can change their number and I still can block them! I reduced the robocallers to my business line within a couple of days of adding this device. CPR Call Blocker V108 - 1200 Number Capacity - World #1 - Block Telemarketing Calls Now! (Amazon.com Affiliate Link but personal review without any payment. Just passing on a great tip!) The setup took about 15 minutes for me (some said it only took a couple of minutes in the reviews).
