Recipe Organization Software
I've managed to accumulate a lot of recipes! I'm looking for recommendations on inexpensive (possibly free?) computer software to organize and manage the recipes better. It'd be nice if I could print them out and make a shopping list, too.

Mexican Recipe with Hot Peppers and Carrots
Last year my husband went to into Mexico for the day, and had a dish of hot peppers and carrots that he thought were in vinegar (?). I am told that it is a traditional Mexican dish. Does anyone have a recipe for this. He just loved it. Thank you!
