Finding new recipes to try is so much easier these days. Remember way back when, our source for new recipes was cookbooks and magazines? I also have pages and pages of handwritten recipes from my Grandma June that I’ve kept. Though I still enjoy finding recipes the “old fashioned” way, I’ve fully embraced technology and now have a whole new world of recipes at my fingertips!
I could sit here all day and list out my favourite blogs and cooking sites. And don’t even get me started on Pinterest or we’ll be here all day. I’m a woman obsessed with 35,000 pins and counting!
The one source of recipes I’ll always keep around is the word of mouth recipes. For instance, you are over at a friend’s place for dinner and they make the most amazing dessert and you just have to get the recipe! You write it on the back of old receipt in your purse so you can try at home. Then what? I personally don’t want to keep an old receipt or napkin and prefer to put the recipe on something clean and pretty! I was using index cards, but I’ve got a much nicer option now. And I’m sharing with you!

Recipe Card Printable
I made this recipe card printable to use for your favourite recipes or ones shared by family and friends. I paste mine in a scrapbook, but you could also put them in index card holder. I would probably tape or glue it to an index card so it’s a little more sturdier.
It’s a pdf download so it should be just a matter of downloading the pdf to your computer and clicking print. Print out as many as you like and feel free to share the link to this post with your recipe-loving friends!

How do you store your recipes?

I have recipes saved on my computer, in a file and marked in my favourite cook books too.

I have some of my grandmother’s recipes on card and the ink is fading. This would be great to transfer them to. Thanks.

While cleaning out my mother’s house after her death, I learned that hand-written recipes cards had real value. I treasure each one from my mom, both grandmothers, various aunts and great aunts as well as those from women I don’t even know. They are threads in the tapestry of my life. The woman helping me clean out Mom’s house offered me study sum for the four boxes of recipes cards. I graciously declined her offer. I long for the day when I can sift thru these gems with my grandchildren, sharing past memories and making new ones.
Thanks for such a cute style!

I just found this post and want to share an idea my sister-in-law had after her mother passed away. She framed her favorite recipes in her mother’s handwriting and displays them in her kitchen. They come from a family of wonderful cooks that are well known in our area. Have you ever heard of Giovanni’s Pizza? Her great-uncle founded the chain and almost every family member has worked in either Giovanni’s or one.of the other pizza shops or bakeries founded by the family. I actually met my husband in his parents pizza shop and my youngest son is co-founder of a little place in Cleveland Ohio that is fast becoming famous although it is not a pizza shop! If you ever get to Cleveland…

There are certain recipes that I just want on a recipe card in a recipe book I have made up of recipes from family, friends, ones I tried and people loved. I just am not ready to trust them on a machine that can lose them to worms, trojans, viruses.
