Dear Cozi Families,
My name is Robbie Cape and I'm the co-founder and CEO of Cozi.
First, thank you for making Cozi part of your day, and for emailing us, commenting on articles and announcements, tweeting, and sharing your experiences on our Facebook page.
The suggestions, feedback and words of encouragement you send all play a big role in how we prioritize new feature work.
Here are just a few of the improvements we made in the past year based on your requests:
- Cozi is more mobile than ever. We started with the iPhone app in the middle of 2010, and followed up with Cozi for Android mobile and tablet, Apple iPad, and most recently, BlackBerry. We also made improvements to m.cozi.com so people with web-enabled phones and those waiting so patiently in international markets can get some Cozi features until additional apps are ready. If you don't already have one of our free apps, you can find them by searching for "Cozi" in your favorite mobile app store. (We're available on the NOOK and Kindle Fire, too!)
- Cozi integrates with other calendars your family uses. You can now add Internet calendars to Cozi and share your Cozi calendar as a feed to other calendars. You can even import Facebook events and birthdays to your Cozi calendar.
- Adding schedules to Cozi has never been easier. We made improvements to the Schedules feature to make it as painless as possible to enter a group of related dates like sports, school, and child care schedules—any schedule you get on a piece of paper but would rather be able to access electronically from anywhere.
- Cozi helps with meal planning. We started a Dinner Club to give you more ideas for affordable and delicious weeknight family recipes. And we are super excited that Cozi now helps you plan meals! The brand new Cozi Meals feature is where you can store recipes, plan dinners, and add ingredients to your shopping list, all to help you get more dinners on the table.
- It's easier than ever to learn how to use Cozi. We added a feed at the top of your family Home page which links to the blog so you can learn tips and tricks about Cozi in quick, easy posts. These posts explain how to use new features like to do lists with due dates, ad-free Cozi with Cozi Gold, a list library with pre-made checklists, agenda email updates and many others that make Cozi easier and faster to use.
I welcome you to join the Cozi community on Facebook. We are always interested in your feedback and love hearing about your experiences. It's also a great way to get the latest Cozi news, tips and fun.
I wish you all a wonderful 2012! - Robbie
P.S. We'd love to hear about YOUR outlook for 2012. Please take our survey and be entered to win a $100 gift card from Amazon!

If a quick and simple meal sounds good in the midst of this busy holiday season, try the latest selections in the Cozi Family Dinner Club. If you're part of the club and made these for dinner already, now's a great time to share how they went over!
(Clicking the recipe title takes you to the recipe in Cozi Meals so it's even easier to save the recipe and plan the meal. Comments are kept on the public version of the recipe on Live Simply, which you can get to from the link in the recipe.)
December Recipe Selections:
Thanks to Kristy Bernardo of the Wicked Noodle blog for sharing this recipe. She says it tastes great and it's something different to do with boring ol' ground beef. Plus it's on the table in less than thirty minutes!
This one-dish comfort food can be made ahead and baked up when you need a quick dinner. Most of the ingredients can be altered to your taste and it works well with extra veggies mixed in, too.
The Cozi Family Dinner Club is all about teaming up to make dinner: sharing ideas and simplifying meal planning to help you get dinner on the table. Join the Cozi Family Dinner Club to get recipes sent direct to your inbox and to enjoy ALL the benefits of membership.
