When you're learning how to lead a healthy lifestyle, you often have to relearn how to do simple domestic tasks like shopping and cooking. Ease the process for someone else by compiling a recipe binder. Cut out healthy dishes from magazines, write up your slimmed-down family recipes and print your favorite SparkRecipes. Put them in a three-ring binder and decorate the cover. This recipe book can easily be expanded to accommodate additional healthy recipes. Recipe Binder Materials needed: Three-ring binder (I like the kind with a clear vinyl sheet over the cover.) Hole punch Dividers (optional) Decorative cover Recipes Decorate a cover for your recipe binder. Print or handwrite recipes and punch holes in each one. Place recipes in the binder. Divide recipes into sections if you'd like. This is a really simple but heart-warming gift! Bonus: If you're including family recipes, write down memories associated with that recipe or the story of how it came to be a family favorite. My mom clips recipes from magazines and prints them from the Internet, then puts them in a binder-style cookbook that my Grandma's ladies club made back in the early 90s. That one book is used more than any other cookbook in her house. How do you keep your recipes organized? |
