Welcome to Qponix!

Qponix was built to save shoppers time and money. Our widgets and mobile applications help people with everyday tasks: finding a quick recipe for dinner, shopping store specials and coupons, and building shopping lists on a budget. Because Qponix widgets are truly useful, they're a great place for retailers, manufacturers and publishers to deliver content and promotions to their customers. Here's the first of our new widgets created in partnership with Meredith Corporation: Better Homes & Gardens Recipe Saver

Qponix MealBox on iPhone and Android

Qponix MealBox is now live in public beta on the iPhone (and Android) for Meijer customers, with national coverage coming in November. Point your iPhone Safari browser here: http://widget.mealbox.meijer.com/iphone or check out some screenshots in the "Photos" box below...

Everything in the MealBox widget works on the iPhone, including recipe search, menu planning, shopping lists and browsing local store specials and coupons. Even more exciting - you can scan coupons directly from the iPhone at the register (ask the store associate to use the "hand scanner"). This is NOT just another shopping list app for your smartphone!

The Meijer MealBox is the first in a series of widgets that help consumers make the most of their weekly shopping dollars.
Thousands of recipes, menu and meal planning, interactive shopping lists, a recipe box, coupons and store savings, diet management, and social networking with other cooks - all inside the little box.

Click the "get & share" tab at the bottom of the widget and put it on your favorite portal, social-network or blog (just like we did here). It will automatically update each week with new recipes, specials and features. And be sure to check back soon for brand new widgets!

"It’s tougher than ever to plan your finances. But it’s also easier than ever to find help on the cheap.

There are a host of Web sites that help you lay out a budget and track your spending and investments. Some let you set up a plan for a long-term goal, like college or retirement, and others offer advice about where to put your money. And many of these services are free of charge.

Billeo is one of the best sites and offers a Bill Pay Assistant, A Shopping Assistant and a Password Assistant." Continue

A visit to the Wilder Homestead

I grew up on the Laura Ingalls Wilder Little House series of books. Starting with Little House in the Big Woods, I read them cover to cover when I was in 4th grade, and then read them cover to cover again each summer in Quebec up through high school. The pluck and optimism that Laura and her family had, confronted with daily hardships ranging from a plague of grasshoppers to being resettled off Indian lands, inspired me and made me long to live back in the pioneer days.

Reading the books… Continue

Substantial Salads to Enjoy Through the Week

Some friends and I went to Vancouver last weekend to run the Vancouver Half Marathon. It is a wonderful race, very scenic and friendly, and the organizers and participants were so fun and friendly, we have made it an annual event to trek up there for a girls' weekend.

On the way home, famished, we stopped at this incredible store in Vancouver on Granville Street called Meindharts Fine Foods . This store is amazing! Yes, we w… Continue

MealBox and Grocery Lists in the WSJ

MealBox got ink yesterday in a new piece by Timothy J. Martin in the WSJ. Martin looks at the merits of building weekly grocery lists and offers a useful overview of the tools available to shoppers. One big MealBox advantage that Martin does not include: the ability to use MealBox to build shopping lists based on that week's budget value meal recipes, which showcase recipes with lots of ingredients on sale in your local store.… Continue

Rhubarb - Have You Tried It?

Though we have had a cold and rainy spring here in the northwest, one plant in our garden is absolutely thriving: my rhubarb.

Rhubarb is a perennial vegetable that is incredibly easy to grow. When we moved to our house, we found a rhubarb plant growing in a corner of the yard. We moved it to a corner of the garden in the mid summer, thinking it may or may not survive being uprooted, and in August, it withered and seemingly died.
The following March, however, new sprouts came up and by mid April… Continue

Thoughts on Asparagus

I’ll throw out a quiz I remember my father giving me when I was a kid: Can you name the three vegetables that are perennials?

His answer: Artichokes, Asparagus and Rhubarb. I’m not convinced that Rhubarb is a vegetable – some sources classify it as a fruit, some as a vegetable, but asparagus and artichokes are perennials that will come up in your garden every year.

Our first stalk of asparagus appeared late last week, poking its head through the soil toward the sun. For the next four weeks or… Continue

A Heartfelt Birthday Present

I am a sucker for birthdays. I see them as a celebration of the years past and the years to come. I also look at birthdays as an annual way to connect and say hello or I love you. I may be old fashioned and out of the tech revolution, but I think email birthday greetings are cheap. For my friends and family, I try to send a birthday card in the mail and give the birthday boy or girl a phone call. (This doesn’t mean my birthday greetings are perfectly timed -- ask my brother about his 40th birthd… Continue
