My Organized Method for Recipes in Printed Cookbooks



While I like the convenience of finding new recipes on Pinterest, I have dozens of beautiful cookbooks and I use them often. Since many of these books are so lovely, I prefer not to make written notes directly on the pages.

Still, it is important to a) remember those dishes that I've already attempted to make, b) remember anything I did to deviate from the ingredients or steps and c) whether or not we enjoyed that recipe enough to make again.

Using my computer, I made a 'Cheat Sheet' for each of my cookbooks AND an additional running index.

The cheat sheet is one piece of paper (printed from an Excel spreadsheet I created) that lists each recipe I've made in that book, the page it's on, notes, and a rating...10 equals LOVED it and 1 equals hated it. That page is folded to fit and is inserted in between the front cover and the first page of each cookbook.

In addition, I created a 5-column spreadsheet called 'Recipes to Make Again' that lists recipes, recipe categories, quick descriptions, cookbook titles and page numbers. This is a running list that I store on my computer and can open any time. If I'm searching for chicken marsala, I just use my 'Find' feature and I can easily find what I'm looking for. I also like the fact that I can sort by category, cookbook, etc. as needed.

My 'cookbook system' has made it easy for me to find exactly what I'm looking for and to ensure I don't make a recipe we didn't like...twice.

Is it really possible to shrink a woman's tummy while eating MORE food? Even at any age? Fortunately, YES. Movie stars do it all the time. Even while being tempted with savory high-calorie meals and delicious drinks.

The trick? Get your two major flat-tummy hormones into balance. First is estrogen. It flattens your tummy by helping your body process carbs...and gives you that get-up-and-go energy. Second is progesterone. It works by protecting against the fat-inflating side effects of stress...a problem for nearly ALL women.

Get your complimentary customized video plan, discover what foods and activities work best for YOUR hormone type, and get ready to slim down your upper thighs and flatten your tummy. Visit:
