Happy Biggest Loser Day all!! Tonight’s show is seriously rockin’ my socks off ~ LOVE that Portabello Turkey Burger with Mushroom Buns!!! MUST, RECREATE ASAP! Then, there is the story of Abby that I swear makes me bawl my eyes out anytime I watch/hear it. *sigh* LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the show!
I am FINALLY ready to make my BIG Announcement that I’ve been telling you all about now for a month.
SpringPad It ~ Recipe Organizer!!
You all may have noticed a pretty cool looking new button on my recipe post for Channa Masala with a Coconut Kick. I had the opportunity to meet up with the fantastic folks of SpringPad at BlogHERFood09 during breakfast. We were discussing recipes, blogging and how to organize it all in a reader friendly way.
I was so excited when I realized they had a solution to solve my on-going challenge of recipe organization! They explained to me how SpringIt works and I was completely sold on the idea ~ I LOVE organizing tools and when you add that as a way to feed my recipe addiction organize all the recipes I collect I am impressed..
HOW IT WORKS:
SPRINGIT! Each time you see this fancy button on my posts , simply click it to add it to your own Spring Pad Collection. This will not only allow you to save and print recipes, but, you can save them by categories/tags, use them for meal planning, shopping lists and more!
SAVE IT! There is another section on their site that allows you to use a special clipper button that you drag to your bookmarks bar of your browser, highlight a recipe and "Spring It. Springpad will capture the text, images and original URL to your Springpad site so you can access the recipe for later – or print it out.
The recipe pages look like this!
Here’s a link to my profile page, where I think you can see all of the recipes I’ve done already and can save them yourself: Danica’s Daily.
I will be adding this button to every new recipe I post and will slowly be making my way adding the SpringIt Button to all the recipes on my recipe page. I’ve started on a few that you can check out

I love being organized but I find that I can never stay organized! Does SpringPad work with recipes from sites like Cooking Light or only with blogs that have the button? I need something to organize all the recipes I find from different sources!
Awesome. I joined with SpringIt for my blog but honestly it’s been a bit confusing and I haven’t found time to implement it correctly yet
wow what an awesome program!! i have recipes bookmarked and starred and printed.. it would be nice to have it all in order. thanks for this post!
Erika ~ Yes, you can use it with any site you are looking at. You can do that in two ways. Simply go to My Stuff, Recipes and then click if you want to grab it from the URL or you can copy/paste the entire recipe from the site. That’s it – so simple, huh??
Food Makes Fuel Fun ~ I worked with Devin at SpringPad – she is awesome! I bet if you email her (or me and I can give you her info) she can get you up and going. It’s easy once you get things all set up.
YAY! So cool! Katheats introduced me and I joined then.
Dangittttt! How come I never rememebr that Biggest Loser is on on Tuesdays? Didn’t it used to be on Monday? I love Jillian. Love. That show is just so inspiring. I would porbably be more inspired if i ever remembered to watch it!!
