    How wonderful! I have a notebook for my daughter of our fav recipes. We note on the cards when we tested and what we changed. Love the idea of the journaling as well!

    My grandmothers and great Aunts hand written recipes are my absolute favorites. I framed several and have them on the kitchen walls as decor. Just looking up and seeing them gives me warm and fuzzy feels even if all I am making is a pot of coffee.
    Having a common place recipe book to store the rest would be awesome.

    Oh for heavens sakes Ms Nik, I can't believe that people are offended by chestageness. Being a little curious artist at a very young age I would check out the beautiful paintings in our encyclopedias which piqued my interest in being an artist. I believe it was "Liberty Leading the People" by Delacroix that fascinated me the most. Lots of chestage in that one. Lol.

    Hi Nik! I’m from Italy and I can tell you that we use both butter and vegetable oils... it depends on the recipe, but people tend to substitute butter with oil (usually corn or sunflower because olive oil is very strong) when making cakes or cookies, just because vegetable oils are healthier! I love your work and I loved to see you have recipes from my country 🥰

    This would be a fantastic book used as a swipe file. Save the last envelope. Fill up as much as you can in the other envelopes as much as they'll hold. You could also use that last envelope along the way when you find new recipes or have recipes that are bound, in your collection.
    You use the cards in the last envelope like an index to write the name and where it can be found.
    I'm organizing my notebooks (I'm a paper person too. I read that you memory is triggered when you write in blue. I've been testing that theory. It's working when I leave the grocery list at home.) that I have all over my office. Here, only I get it. I like to write on pretty paper. "Yes, I need another journal. Oh, look at this one, too." *I'm a self-proclaimed book and paper hoarder.*
    Anyway.. I'm using hashtags to help me find and group things easier (I still doubt it..,*giggle*) in Evernote.
    I can't type with both hands on my phone like I see when I've got my paper out and others keep digital notes . That's not as fast for me, either. Not my bag.

    You absolutely crack me up with your verbiage!! Priceless!
