Scanning Food Package Recipes Into Computer

Here is a special tip for "clipping" the recipes on packages. It does require that you have a flat-screen scanner. Just put your box or envelope on the screen, recipe side down, scan it in, and label it appropriately to go into your recipe file. Round cans are a little trickier. You usually will have to remove the label and lay it flat on the scanner screen. Storing my recipes this way saves me hours of scanning through clippings, notebooks, recipe files, or whatever I used in the past.
