Here it is. The big monster. My binder of recipes. Possibly my husband's most hated item on the bookshelf (well maybe 2nd most hated, behind stacks of Cooking Light he swears I never use)
Like many home cooks, I clip recipes that look tasty from magazines, newspaper, and occasionally online. Since I like to present the illusion that I am super organized, I filled this big ol' binder with sheet protectors & even organized it by main ingredient (mostly)

Physics?! I never took Physics. Apparently I labelled my
brother's binders for him
his senior year of high school...when I was in
college...weird. |
I flip through this thing all the time looking for recipes, but usually don't have enough ingredients on hand to make anything. I've tested a few & made notes (very important when your husband is your only guinea pig - you do NOT want to repeat something that wasn't a hit or forget to make the right tweaks).

That chicken scratch at the bottom is all the thing I successfully changed about this recipe.
(mainly because I didn't have the right cheese or veggies on hand) |
BUT NO MORE. I have a plan. I'm really gonna go through this darn thing. Page by Page. Recipe by Recipe....yikes.
I'll post my progress, hopefully remembering to take pictures as I cook (or "chef" as we call it at home, which is totally inaccurate but sounds fun) & review the recipes...wish me luck!
