    RecipeNut Website Review (& Hormel Foods Giveaway Ends 10/25)

    By 583 Comments

    ABOUT:

    A new website is reinventing the traditional recipe box and providing an online tool for the recipe obsessed to compile and share their favorites.  No more recipe boxes, binders, folders, recipe cards or magazine pages laying all over.

    RecipeNut, sponsored by Hormel Foods, is a one-of-kind website that allows you to personally collect and manage all your recipes, even those you find on other websites.  It is a social network for “RecipeNuts” that allows users to identify and follow other users with similar dish, cuisine and ingredient preferences, rate and review recipes and share their favorites via Facebook, Twitter and email.

    RecipeNut is also asking Facebook fans to share their favorite recipes and stories behind them for a chance at nearly $2000 in prizes.  The contest kicks off at http://www.facebook.com/RecipeNut on September 27th and entries will be accepted through October 11th. Simply fan or “like” the page, submit a name and description of your favorite family recipe and the story behind it as well as an image of the note card or page that it’s printed on.  Ten finalists will be selected and fans can vote for or “like” the entry they think best exemplifies a truly treasured recipe. The winners will be announced on the RecipeNut Facebook page on October 25th.

    RecipeNut is sponsored by Hormel Foods and features downloadable coupons for brands like Hormel® chili, Hormel® bacon, Hormel® chunk meat and more.  A monthly e-newsletter features the highest rated recipes, cooking tips and coupons.

    Recipe collections are no longer limited to what’s been handed down within families, shared among friends or ripped out of magazines.  RecipeNut lets users assemble a library of recipes from a virtually limitless pool of sources worldwide, all while connecting with like-minded recipe collectors around the web.  To learn more, visit www.RecipeNut.com.

    MY THOUGHTS:

    I am terrible with recipes – I have a box, folder, and pile of magazine cut-outs of recipes.  I have the best intentions to make the dishes but then they get lost or shoved in a drawer and forgotten about.  What I love about RecipeNut is that I can store everything in one site, share my recipes, and quickly find others that interest me.  It is like Facebook for recipe lovers!  I have checked out other branded sites before and they mostly use products from that company and you can’t necessarily share as easily and I haven’t seen before that you can follow users with similar tastes and such.

    With RecipeNut you can upload your personal recipes as well as aggregate recipes from all other online sources , from magazines to food blogs, and then swap them with other “recipe nuts.”  It really is easy to use and once you set everything up, adding recipes going forward is a breeze and I love that I can just set my laptop up on my counter and follow recipe directions.

    Well to get you in the mood for cooking and starting off with RecipeNut, Hormel has offered an awesome prize pack.

    WIN IT: (1) US winner will receive a Hormel Prize Pack valued at $30 that includes:

    • Hormel® Always Tender® pork product coupon: Hormel® Always Tender® products are all pre-marinated for superb tenderness, juiciness and flavor, so there’s no prep time and no cleanup required. Available in more than 40 varieties.
    • Hormel® Natural Choice® deli meat full value product coupon: Great-tasting, all-natural products you can feel good about eating and serving. Zero preservatives, artificial ingredients or MSG. No nitrites or nitrates added. And they’re gluten free.
    • Hormel® real crumbled bacon bits: Hormel® bacon toppings are made from 100 percent real bacon. Add to salads, soups and other recipes!
    • Hormel® pepperoni minis: Add zest to a wide variety of dishes with great tasting pepperoni. In addition to perking up pizza, pepperoni is an ideal partner for sandwiches, salads, pasta or nachos and more.
    • Hormel® premium chunk chicken breast: Hormel® chunk meats are fully-cooked, one hundred percent real meat perfect for sandwiches, salads, wraps, soups, nachos and quesadillas.
    • Hormel® chili with beans: Hormel® chili is made with choice ingredients, blended and simmered slowly in an open kettle to bring out their full flavor and aroma. The result is a rich and hearty flavor chili lovers ask for!

      The Bacon Bits! I never buy them, and I don’t like frying up bacon just to have a few bits for a salad or another recipe.

      I’m excited about the pepperoni minis, I actually have already tried them. We made pasta salad with the minis in it. It gave off just the right flavor, um… I wonder what it would taste like in a green salad.

      I always have a few cans of Hormel Chunk Chicken in the cupboard, which is most often used for unexpected company to make Buffalo Wing Dip.

      I think I am most excited about the Hormel Always Tender pork product coupon because I don’t often make Port Tender Loin. I also like the Chili, because we love to make Chili dip. Thanks for the review and giveaway!
