Congratulations, Erin! I've tackled this hurdle myself on at least 4 occasions (all which were basically created for family and friends who always wanted to know how to make my food!). It's certainly a labor of love, and the sense of accomplishment is over-the-top.

Although at this point you might not want to even THINK about creating another one (tee-hee), I'd like to recommend Mastercook. Do you use this software? It's how I keep track of ALL my recipes, which spits out nutritional information for each and every dish (although as an organic vegan I have to make many changes to the "master" nutritional data...). When you're ready, you simply copy and past the recipes you want to add to your cookbook, slip into a word document, add index pages etc., and make it into a pdf file which can be then transformed into an ebook. Whew! I'm getting tired already. haha

Best wishes!

Sassy
