Needing Some Recipe Help
December 4th, 2008 | 
Author: What do you do with your recipes? If you find one that you like, do you copy it and put it in your recipe book or box?
I get three wonderful cooking magazines – Taste of Home, Kraft Food & Family, and Every Day with Rachael Ray. (Kraft is a wonderful free magazine that you can subscribe to here.)
About once a week, maybe more, I try a new recipe. Sometimes the recipe is a new twist on an old favorite. Other times it’s totally new.
At least 90% of the time, my hubby says that they’re keepers – meaning he likes them. But how should I keep track of these “keepers”?
I’ve transferred a couple of them to my recipe book, but is there a better way?
Usually when I try a new recipe, it’s because I want something new. Something we haven’t had before. I take a few minutes to browse my magazines for the perfect meal hoping that it satisfies my taste buds.
Oh, and in case your answer has anything to do with menu planning, I don’t menu plan. I tried it before and don’t like it. I can’t do it. I think it has something to do with how I can’t pack “lightly” for vacation. I have to take half the closet. How am I supposed to know on Sunday what I’m going to feel like wearing on Thursday? Same for cooking. What I think I want on Sunday definitely isn’t the same by the time Thursday comes around. So, yeah, can’t do it.
