Do you keep your recipes in a binder? I love that concept as you can easily update and add recipes as you come across them. I wanted to encourage you to make an "Inspirational Recipe Book". The reason for the "inspiration"?
I used food and hospitality inspired Scripture to personalize my collection which is a great reminder that when we prepare a meal for our loved ones, the fellowship around that table should be in remembrance of our Lord.
And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying,
“This is My body which is given for you;
“This is My body which is given for you;
do this in remembrance of Me.”
~ Luke 22:19
I have updated my original binder to add a section on "Food Preservation" and wanted to share the new Victorian Era style printable with you. (You can view my original Recipe Book here for the concept). You may view the new and improved "Inspirational Recipe Book" below and are welcome to them as a *gift* from me to you as they are printable and/or downloadable.

I bought a white binder with the intention to put my loose recipes into it. I had kept them for years in a big manilla envelope and eventually the sides burst out from stuffing too many recipes in. Yours is much more charming than what I had in mind for mine. I think it will also help make my recipe collection a lovely heirloom to pass down to my daughters. Thank you for the printable! God bless! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful! The idea for myself was to also pass it down to my daughter. What I have been doing is that once she learns to make a certain recipe. I print it off for her and add it to her recipe book (yes, she has one too). Now any time she wants to make something, she digs through her own book (and feels quite special by the way). Thanks for sharing here today!
