Free Recipes

For my first post, I think maybe something in the "free" realm; because really , who doesn't like free? I recently discovered Woman Freebies.com.  All it really is, is new free offers every day, sometimes coupons, links to samples offers, digital downloads, you get the idea. And they have other sites for things related to babies, pets, beauty, food, etc.  

Today while looking for Easter Eggs on the site  I came across digital downloadable cookbooks.  The kind like you find in the grocery store at the check out counter.

They linked up two from that site directly and I love them so much I had to go on a hunt for more. Below you will find a list of everything I could find on my morning web tours.

They are created through a company called nxtbook and work with Adobe Air, some can be downloaded in .pdf format, and others as their own executable or in the .air format.  Nxtbook by the way looks like a really cool resource if you wanted to publish a digital book, catalog or ezine of any kind.
