Recipe Book

On Monday morning my husband's car was vandalized and is not drivable for the time being. This has increased my time at home and given me more time to focus on the house and projects that I want to get accomplished. Yesterday I spent way too much time on a cover for my new recipe folder. I started this folder at the beginning of the year with recipes for our new eating lifestyle. I found it easier to have them all in one place and to not be tempted by some of the unhealthier recipes that we used to enjoy. I had begun to slack off in printing recipes to put in the binder and figured if I made it look nice, I might be more likely to keep it up to date. I used some old scrapbooking paper that matched the binder color. I told my husband last night that the colors made it look like Barbie threw up on my recipe book, but at least it was fun. I got this great organizational idea from my friend Emily Wylie. I'll be sharing some of the recipes from inside the binder soon.
