Ziplist Partner and Holiday iPad Mini Sweepstakes

I’m staring off December with two BIG announcements. First, in the spirit of the season, I’ve joined 9 wonderful food blogger buddies to bring you a HAPPY HOLIDAYS iPad Mini #Giveaway to say thank you to our loyal readers. In addition to the iPad, one lucky reader will also receive two free ebooks:  (Twelve Terrific Christmas Cookie Recipes) by Stephanie Weaver, Laura Bashar and Mary Platis (Cooking Techniques with Olive Oil) and this mega cube of KIND healthy snacks.

Your hosts for this sweepstakes are:

California Greek Girl: Mary Platis

Mimi Avocado – Mimi Holtz

Recipe Renovator – Stephanie Weaver

From December 2nd to December 3rd KIND will offer $10 off their Kind Healthy Indulgence Cube (normally $42.50) by entering GIVE at checkout. To help give back, at the same time, for every cube purchased KIND will make a donation to City Harvest, a food rescue organization dedicated to feeding the hungry. Customers who purchase a cube can feel good knowing that each cube sold will help feed 12 people in need. Take part in #GivingTuesday by sharing this link and offer and ordering some deliciously healthy snacks for yourself or a friend. The cube also makes a great gift to send to an office.

I’m excited to also announce that She’s Cookin’ has joined Ziplist as a partner and with this partnership you now have the ability to save your favorite recipes on this site to a personal recipe box. With Ziplist you can also use your Recipe Box to easily store recipes from  dozens of other sites – scroll through the list of partners and find your favorites.

In addition to storing your favorite recipes to your recipe box, you can also easily add the ingredients from a recipe to an online shopping list, which you can access from your mobile phone. The service, both from the website and the mobile phone apps, is completely free.

If you want to save a recipe to your recipe box, just click on the blue “Save Recipe” button at the top right hand side next to the print button.

If you don’t already have an account with ZipList, you will be prompted to create one. Once logged in, you can easily add recipes to your recipe box from She’s Cookin’, or any site using ZipList. At anytime, if you want to check what recipes are in your recipe box, just click on the “Recipe Box” link in the navigation bar at the top of the site.

Creating a grocery shopping list is easy too. In your Recipe Box, just click on the “Add to shopping list” link next to the recipe ingredients on a recipe page. You can then select which of the ingredients you want to keep on your list, and which ones you don’t. The shopping list will compile the ingredients from all of the recipes you’ve selected to add to the shopping list.

Simple as 1, 2, 3!! Life is good and having everything in one place makes it even better. Ziplist and I are always looking for ways to make cooking easier, so take the Recipe Box for a spin and let us know what you think, we’d love to have your feedback.
