Everything has five ingredients or less and I think could be adapted to some of
our diets.

Thanks for sharing- my favorite are the photographs. There are actually recipes I'd like to try. I had an extensive recipe collection and loved to be in the kitchen before MC. It was heartbreaking the night I sat down and and went throught them all and put most of them in the recycling bin because I knew I wouldn't be using them again. I saved only famiy recipes and my family's favorites. Now I may be able to put some new Deb-friendly ones back in my book. Can't wait to try a few tomorrow.
DebE, I have slowly moved all my recipes to my computers (around 6,000 and counting 
). I've got them
categorized just like a recipe card file. I have a folder with just gluten-free recipes (also sorted). It's so easy
to search for the recipe I'm looking for with my computer search. If I don't remember the name of the recipe I can just plug in some ingredients and usually find it quickly.
I did purchase Living Cookbook with aspirations of having photos, nutritional info, etc. but may wait and do that when I'm really old and really bored!

Storing recipes on the computer sounds like a great idea. I agree, now it's just finding the time to do it! I'll always hang on to the recipe cards for sentamental value. I probably drive friends and family nuts because I always requested favorite recipes to be handwritten & autographed from the maker to add to my collection. Good thing I'm getting a scanner for Christmas, problem solved. 
I'm starting to make the adjustment to cooking different or altered meals. There's only three of us in the house and my son is an incredibly fussy eater and I fear, headed down the same path as me, so the simple recipes are great. It gets to be a burden to come home after work to cook a "normal" dinner and then a special one for me. It's getting easier though.

I'm fortunate that my kids are grown. It was hard enough getting a meal on the table then, much less two different ones.
The cooking does get easier, especially when you've figured out your intolerances. Mine are minimal compared to some so I've been lucky; but cooking with "real" food just simplifies things a lot. I think I bought every flour substitute out there initially but am finding I don't use much of that.
I did save my recipe card file too. I've got handwritten "Grandma" recipes that give me a good feeling when I look at them. I did put them on my computer too, just to have them handy.
