Guest guest Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I will print up a bunch of recipes from the files. Then i bind them. When I try any I will write my alterations, what I thought of the recipe and if it is fast to make, good one to take to a guests house or to serve family and friends. I do this with recipes from newspapers too. Then I put the tried recipes in another binder. This way I can find some ideas to plan meals for the week without having to take time to decide. That's what helps me. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I used to print out all the recipes, but now I copy them to word and put by catergory. & nbsp; When I try one I will print it out, and also put the changes and date made on the printout and on the computer file. I also write in my cookbooks the first time I make a recipe, changes, and how my family liked it. & nbsp; For instance I might right Tom loves, kids hate, etc. & nbsp; Last week I went through the foot high stack of printouts and put in different three ring binders. & nbsp; I have nonmeat, sides, meats (for my family), deserts, baked goods. & nbsp; I Kelly, FL _Kelly_,_._,__ _ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Hey Joe! What a fabulous idea. I will adopt this one. It will make life just a tad bit easier. Right now I am overwhelmed with new recipes from cookbooks and I need a way to process all of this. I am sure this will help me out tremendously. -Gypsy , " rollinmonkeyman " <rollinmonkeyman wrote: > > I will print up a bunch of recipes from the files.
